In the specs of an armored anti-riot vehicle:
"Corta fuego: A base de polvo químico seco y espuma, con circuitos independientes para motor y neumáticos, debidamente protegidos, con accionamiento desde el interior del vehículo.
Extintores: 02 extintores por vehículo..."
It is obviously a kind of fire extinguisher, but how can I explain the difference with "extintores"?

El sitio de Kidde habla precisamente de estos equipos para el uso en batallas o motines, en vehículos "armored."
