I'm not loving how close he has to get to the fire to use that. I want something with a little range.

I carry one in the Trans Am (a requirement at some shows), but need to get one for the van.

The mental picture you painted of setting off a flare to put out a fire had me rolling. LOL

Safety First! lol

Those Ports similar to what you are using are also installed on boat engine covers to allow you to discharge a fire extinguisher into the engine compartment.

Speaking of discharge:

In a Trade shop building at a Job Corps center, A new instructor was opening up, preparing to start a new day. Upon entering, a strange pale yellow powdery substance was found inside, covering everything with a thin coating of fine dust. WTF? Security!

As we went in, snickers ensued as the huge empty fire extinguisher was discovered.

Nice one...
Gotta love those Kids! cheers Teach your Children well.

I grabbed one of the usual suspects, and mounted it in this over the top quick release powder coated magic any position holder. Just pull the pin, like a grenade angel
