Yes.
Fingers crossed I'll never have to use it, but I'd never forgive myself if I didn't have a means of tackling a fire.

No.
In every vehicle.
Sure don't.
Any vehicle that goes to jobsites will have one.
I do.
It's 2 1/2 Lbs.
Dry Chemical, most common / least expensive
Only problem with a 2 1/2 lb Extinguisher is they will not put out to big a fire.

I keep one in the Jeep. Had to replace it a few years ago when it randomly discharged while driving (pin was not in it ...)

When it comes to car fires if the fire is bigger than a small extinguisher can handle it's time to back away and let it burn.

Don't carry one in my vehicle. But I have one in the kitchen pantry and one in the garage.
I have one in my camper. Also one in the garage and one in the kitchen.
Nope, but it would be nice.
Dry powder would be a good abc option but second only to foam and Dry chem for clean up.

Yup, 2-1/2 pound dry chemical.
The old adage goes the extinguisher is never big enough when you're fighting a fire, but at least I have something. In 40 years of driving I've only had to help put out a fire once, but I like to be prepared.
