Yep, except that the odds of coming upon an accident which requires rescue tools or a fire extinguisher increases when you're out in traffic driving. Hence, those tools are readily available in the console. I don't need to EDC a fully serrated knife or rescue hook; I just need them at hand when I'm driving. BTW, also in the console is a pair of nomex gloves. They won't allow a lot of time around direct flame, but they may buy enough to do what is needed.
