Fire Extinguisher Mounting Options

I am searching for a good location to mount a fire extinguisher that is out of the way as well as accessible if needed and haven't come up with a location that satisfies me yet.

Does anyone of pics of mounted fire extinguishers?

Thanks

For the moment I have a thinner one wedged behind the headrest of the back seat, stays put even with all the bouncing around off-road and if needed could break the rear window to get it. Finding a suitable location is kind of hard when you start thinking of potential times when you need access to it. I thought about between the seats and doors, but if that door is jammed by another vehicle or unable to open due to trail limitations... I guess I could put one on all four doors.

I am curious as to what other are doing as well.

Oh and the First aid kit is behind the other headrest

stuck mine upright in the tray behind the rear seat much as described above. only real other place if that worried is between front seats on floor as found in many work trucks. Keep the 1st aid kit back there also along with the small air compressor and whatever else that needs to be kept inside.

I was doing some web surfing during lunch and found the following posted from New Mexico Univ. Apparently a forestry service truck has a fire extinguisher inside the cab and it exploded. Maybe a freak thing but something to think about.
