Where to place a Fire Extinguisher

[JoMo]

Firstly, yes, this extinguisher (HAL GUARD HG100) is not for the Rivian lithium battery. It is for a sudden fire in the vehicle, small fires at a camping site, or some help along the road.

Secondly, I am unsure of the best or most convenient places for placement and installation. Maybe in the front storage place or the back of the second-row seats. Do you have any suggestions?

For reference, I've included some photos of the fire extinguisher and potential installation spots. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Can one drill into this area to secure the mount?

Other side...

Install on the back side of either second-row seat??

I would go with the frunk but I would hesitate to drill for the mount. You know how it is trying to mount anything on hollow plastic. I would use 3M tape or just pack other stuff around it.

How about on the molle panel on the topper

Sorry, I forgot to mention this is a R1S. I like the tape idea mentioned.

I would say the frunk location looks good, but... if you had stuff in the frunk and needed to get to it, that would be a pain. That's a lesson I learned when I put my charging cable & adapters under the frunk floor, packed it to the gills, and then drove off for a vacation where I had a convenient opportunity to charge at a destination charger, but had to dig out the adapter.

Also, I'd suggest the passenger side of the front floor storage area.
Behold my art skills!

I do wish these vehicles had more MOLLE surfaces and better seat rail mounting options. Within weeks of Broncos rolling off the assembly line, they had dozens of accessories and mounts and fire extinguisher solutions available.

Not sure if anything has changed on that topper but I know a few people (my self included) who would pay a pretty penny to get their hand on that bed cap

I carry a 2.5 gal water can in the spare tire well of my R1S with my tools/straps/misc gear

Yes, another good idea

There's no way I'm getting to the lower frunk or lower trunk area in an emergency with everything loaded up on top of it.

That’s fine, I just don’t have my trunk loaded…

I haul kids and the gear goes in the frunk. To each their own

On road trips, I keep a fridge in the trunk and cooking gear makes noise and rattles around in the frunk. The ideal place for a fire extinguisher is within reach of the driver or easily accessible within seconds of pulling over.

The Molle panel for the center console would be a good option as well to mount to the passengers side. https://electrifiedoverland.com/products/rivian-r1t-r1s-center-console-molle-cage

Again, each situation is different.

I doubt you have 2.5 gallons of options available to you in the front seat. I also don’t have Chef Boyardee in the trunk. He asked for options, I gave mine. Yours is one other option. Neither are the only option.

You're acting like I attacked your option. All I said is it wouldn't work for me, and it wouldn't meet my needs or bar of usefulness.

For the record, a 2.5lbs ABC is much more useful than 2.5 gallons of water in fighting all kinds of fire. You're not going to save someone's life with 2.5 gallons of water.
