word of warning - fire extinguishers

[jarason@reid-crowther.com]

just a word of warning for everyone that drives with a fire 
extinguisher....

my best friend has (maybe had) a toyota land cruiser with a soft top, for 
a joke somebody discharged his two fire extinguishers onboard 
inside....naturally the fire extinguisher stuff sprayed everywhere, 
including under his dash.  He cleaned the truck as best he could but the 
residue is eating away his electrical system, and ICBC (our provincial 
insurance provider) wants to write off his vehicle as it'll be two 
expensive to repair and they feel a major melt down is inevitable.

so all the folks out there that carry extinguishers make sure that they 
are TYPE 'B &C' I believe.  I believe the 'A' are generally erosive to 
electrical things. I would hate to see somebody whose attempting to save 
their vehicle from fire, cause more damage because of the type of 
extinguisher they use.
