Yaofeng, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, but you have opened a good topic here about fire extinguishers.
Some people keep saying that they're meaning to go out and buy a fire extinguisher for their cars "soon." I wonder how many really do?
But here's a sadder fact: A lot of the people who HAVE fire extinguishers =never= check them. Having an undercharged, out-of-date, or discharged extinguisher is akin to having a flat spare tire -- it won't do you any good when you need it.
So if you're one of those guys who proudly exclaims, "Yup! I carry a fire extinguisher in my car all the time!" ...you might want to go out and have a good look at it. You'll look mighty foolish if you ever whip it out to use it and nothing happens.
Check your extinguisher for inspection dates, expiration dates, and if it is a type that has a pressure gauge, see if it's indicating full. If you find it's not up to snuff, you may be able to take it to your local fire station for a free inspection update and recharge. And from now on, whenever you check your spare tire, get in the habit of checking your extinguisher, too.
