On August the 9th 2019 we were driving in our motorhome on a trip to Dalarna. As we were driving along the road we became aware of a strong pungent smell in the front of our van. We pulled off the road and stopped the engine to try and find the reason for the smell. Almost immediately we noticed thick black smoke coming out from underneath the driver’s seat and just as we were about to look for the cause of the smoke it suddenly burst into flames. As luck would have it we had recently purchased a new Maus fire extinguisher and grabbed it out of the glove compartment. Being so easy and simple to use we were able to put out the fire completely in just seconds which was amazing. Thankfully, the fire extinguisher was as advertised (Environmentally Friendly) left no residue, caused no damage and left us no mess to clean up like the other extinguisher we once had to use. Now there was of course a small bit of damage caused by the fire but fortunately it was extremely localised under the seat where the e-block was. The reason for the fire was some type of short circuit between the Solar Controller and the E-block. The insurance company took care of the cost of repair and we are extremely grateful we purchased the Maus extinguisher when we did as the damage could have been much greater. Our First priority now is to purchase another Maus extinguisher and keep it at the ready should we ever have another fire incident."
