You can deploy it and run for your life!!
I've run 2 nozzles to the engine (opposite sides), one for the driver, one for the fuel tank.

I spent a lot of time ummm'ing and ahhh'ing over how much fire protection i wanted (cost/weight/effectiveness/etc) and ended up with a 2l
hand held foam jobbie.
Places like merlin will sell them but i got mine locally which cost about £20 delivered.

don't think the voltage and current is high enough in a car to worry about it. for example, you wouldn't want to use a water extinguisher
on a live 240v kettle fire (first thing i thought of lol) but would be fine for any car electrics

My thoughts exactly.
- Plus, the best tool for an elec fire is a battery isolate switch.
- It would take a lot of water/foam to keep a shorted wire cool until the battery went flat.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
