What is the main purpose of a fire extinguisher in an OFR vehicle?

The main purpose of a fire extinguisher in an OFR vehicle is to extinguish small fires if they occur. Fire extinguishers are essential safety tools that provide a means to put out fires quickly before they escalate into larger, uncontrollable situations. In the context of an OFR (Off-Road Fire) vehicle, having a fire extinguisher readily available allows operators to respond promptly and effectively to any fire incident that may arise during operations, helping to protect both the vehicle and personnel on board.

The effectiveness of a fire extinguisher lies in its ability to combat fires at their inception while they are still manageable, potentially saving lives and property. Therefore, ensuring that the fire extinguisher is accessible and fully functional is a critical aspect of fire safety protocols for OFR operations.
