What type of fire extinguisher should a tram be equipped with?

Explanation

Correct answer: CO2 fire extinguisher

In accordance with the regulations on the technical conditions of vehicles, a tram must be equipped with carbon dioxide or dry powder fire extinguishers. The choice of these specific types is dictated by the nature of a vehicle powered by an overhead traction network, where the main hazard is a fire in the high-voltage electrical installation. Both carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry powder fire extinguishers are designed to safely extinguish these types of fires, without risk of electric shock to the person extinguishing the fire.
