Just curious, do you have a Fire Extingusher and First Aid Kit on your Vehicle? Both? Neither?

A Veteran - Whether Active Duty, Retired, National Guard or Reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life". That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand that."
I had to vote 'neither', but only because I haven't decided which extinguisher to buy. So if you have something you recommend- please list it here. The first aid kit is a new and good idea.
Good post.

The M35A2 I use off road and around the farm has both a dry chemical and a CO2 extinguisher. One is mounted on the rear slope of the driver side wheel well and the other is mounted on the curve of the cab just behind the driver's door between the cab and bed. I wanted them in plain sight.
The first aid kit is in the tool box with the reflector set. I keep a reflective vest or two for nighttime work near traffic. A good LED headlamp and a couple of flashlights dangle from the thumbscrews for the windshields along with the ear defenders.

I've always carried the standard equipment in all of my military vehicles. The HMMWV ambulance has not only the larger fire extunguisher but also most of the common med supplies it would have carried. The other vehicles just have the generic first aid kits.
While I've never had to use the first aid supplies I have used the fire extiguishers on 2 other vehicles over the years.
Both. The fire extingusher and a set of reflective triangles are required for state inspection when you're over 10K pounds in NH (might be a DOT requirement, I don't remember). The First Aid kit is there because I'm a klutz, and want to avoid bleeding all over myself and the truck.
