I keep one similar to that white one behind the rear seat. Probably not the best spot but it is what it is.

Curious if anyone has come across any fire extinguishers/bottles that would fit in any of the water bottle slots inside the doors? Occurred to me that would be a better place for one than the storage under the rear seats, especially considering that is where the 12V and HEV batteries are located on the hybrid model.
That's a great idea to put the fire extinguisher in the door. (though I don't think any extinguisher that fits in the door is going to do much for a HEV battery fire.)

All those bottle spots and none are wide! Here is a video I saw that has a fix.

Bought a 2 pack on sale at Costco last month for my kitchen. After reading this post it sounded like a good idea for the second one in my Mav. Fits great! Thanks!

Did you notice the warnings on this extinguisher says store between 32-104F? What are the odds the inside of your truck exceeding either temperature? If stored inside your truck, any concerns of it bursting?

Always wondered that as well. If it does it's gonna make a mess. I kept my old one in the trunk.

No, I missed that warning. I guess I’ve been lucky so far but I’m going to get it out of the inside now! Thank you! Usually I’m parked in the garage during the day but it does sit outside in the FL sun many days.

How about this one for those who really want to "knock" that fire down? Those little portable ones would have a hard time putting out your camp fire.
Lots of room in the bed right?

I purchased a 1st Alert, Home 1, A/B/C, 2 1/2 lb. fire extinguisher at Harbor Freight for $19:99. In appearance it is similar to the white one pictured earlier in this thread. It is inches taller, extending above the door handle. Also, the extinguisher’s nozzle and handles are metal rather than plastic. Its still a good fit for the door. When I first stored it in the rear passenger door it fell out during a sharp turn. Since, I attached a square of Velcro to the door panel about mid-height. I made a retaining band from a narrower length of Velcro to go around the extinguisher and catch the panel mounted Velcro, Its secure but readily available.
