Idaho man praised for multiple fire extinguisher saves

Kuna, ID – A resident of Kuna, ID, is being praised for using a portable fire extinguisher to save multiple drivers in recent years. His most recent effort came in June when he noticed a truck with an oil leak that had caught fire as the driver was driving down the interstate. Using the fire extinguisher he keeps in his car, the man was able to completely douse the fire, preventing significant damage to the vehicle. After witnessing a vehicle fire years ago, he decided to always keep a fire extinguisher in his own vehicle. Following the incident in June, fire officials in Kuna praised the man, urging everyone to keep a fire extinguisher in case of emergency.
