The expiry time of a DCP fire extinguisher is usually around seven years. After this, the powder should be replaced. Additionally, these extinguishers should be checked yearly to ensure all parts are present and that the seals are intact.
Carbon dioxide, or foam, or dry powder. At no time should a soda water extinguisher be used, as the water will cause the burning gasoline to flare up and spread even further.
Panic, pull over and then freak out! While pulling over you should note where you are. While running frantically in circles (out of traffic of course) call 911 on your cell. Tell them the problem and your location. If you have a fire extinguisher in the vehicle, you may want to use it at this most opportune time.
The most IMPORTANT question is whether you and everyone else can get out safely or should leave the firefighting to trained professionals. The next thing to consider is whether you have the right type of extinguisher and sufficient capacity for the amount of fire that will be present by the time you get to the fire extinguisher and back.
because the fire extinuisher it helps to remove the fire in a sort time.
Records show that Ambrose Godfrey patented a fire extinguisher in England in 1723 and that George William Manby invented the "modern" extinguisher in 1818. One could also argue that a bucket full of water or sand is also a "fire extinguisher" and was invented about the time people started living in houses. There are some who incorrectly believe that Thomas "T.J." Marshall invented the fire extinguisher in 1872. Others say, "Ochoa L.C Bailey July 18,1899". See the related questions about Thomas J. Martin for more about 1872. (Martin's patent is titled "Fire Extinguisher", but describes an improvement to a system of pipes installed inside a building, like a sprinkler system, nothing like a portable "fire extinguisher" of today.)
The automatic fire extinguisher has a cooldown time of 90 seconds.Avoid being set alight by not exposing your fuel tanks and engine to the enemy. This can be done my using tactics such as side-scraping and angling. You'll save yourself a few credits if you learn not to get set on fire.

beware you need to get one that is designed for that type of fire using the wrong type could make things a lot worse
Yes. But there are different kinds of fire extinguishers. If the person's clothing is on fire, you would use a water-type (Class A extinguisher). If they were covered in flammable liquid or gas (e.g., propane), you may need to use CO2. Do not spray CO2 near a person's face, to avoid them inhaling it and damaging their lungs. If you use CO2 on them for a prolonged period of time they may suffocate due to the lack of oxygen or if you are too close to them you may freeze their skin. Commonly known as CO2 burn, because it will feel like the skin is on fire when it is actually just the capillaries freezing, like frostbite.
