Subject:Ever wonder what's in your fire extinguisher?

Well, I know now!  I was loading a long, heavy piece of metal into the
old workhorse last weekend and managed to hit the button on the fire
extinguisher dead square.  Before I could get it stopped, the entire
front passenger area was coated with a layer of baking soda!  These
little buggers really put out an amazing amount of stuff in a short
time.

Oh, well, the van needed a good cleaning anyway.

I wonder if they may CO2 extinguishers that size?
