Federal and state rules

Federal rules require fire extinguishers and warning devices in commercial motor vehicles, except those towed away in a driveaway operation. The listings do not show the same rules for passenger cars, so check your state's requirements. First aid kit requirements vary by state and by carrier policy, while the fire extinguisher requirement is federal. Some listings refer to an ANSI 2021 standard for first aid kits, so check the label before you buy.

Extinguisher size and rating

Extinguishers in these listings are sized in pounds: 2.5 lb, rated 1A:10BC, and 5 lb, rated 3A:40BC. Compare the rating label, not only the weight. The federal guidance says to aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the lever slowly and sweep the nozzle from side to side, so practice once with a spare unit if you can.

Winter and the season

Winter runs from December to February, and drivers in the North carry kits for snowy roads. November is the time to restock a kit before the cold months, and to check the extinguisher's pressure gauge and its date. Summer, June to August, is when the same kit is more likely to be needed on long trips in heat.

What to specify

Say what the kit is for: a passenger car or a truck, the number of triangles, the extinguisher size, and whether the first aid kit should be a basic one or a trauma kit. Name your city so sellers can quote delivery there, such as Houston or Phoenix. Sellers reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery.
