I am using ET Models PE set for the Bronco M1114. They give you a bracket for the fire extinguisher but their instructions aren't clear where it goes. Does anyone have the location or a picture of the location? Thanks

I stand corrected (it was too late to edit the post above) ! The fire extinguisher is located on the left side of the driver's seat, not between the seats...

sorry for hijacking the thread but is there any nice pics of the fire suppression system on the back wall with the attached hoses or something like that?

Hi Mario

Not sure it's what you're looking for, but here's a picture of the HMMWV Automatic Fire Extinguishing System (AFES) in the trunk :

That's the thing. Thanks Frenchy... I thought it was wired somehow to a control panel somewhere on the interior of the roof. Wish I had your ability to sort out things which we write on these forums

You're welcome Mario. In fact there may be other possible location(s). I remember seing once a fire extinguisher hung on the inner side of the rear bulkhead. Not sure it was part of the AFES though...
If you're the extra cautious pyrophobic kind of guy, you can always fit these to your Humvee :



Here are two pics from hmmwvinscale.com showing fire extinguishers in a M1151 :
