Question:
I have a 2600 sq foot home (4 level split) with two wood burning
fireplaces and have ZERO fire extinguishers in the entire house. I want to
buy some and would like to know what size and type to buy.... for the
kitchen.... furnace area.........perhaps master bedroom if I wake up and
smell smoke? I am also thinking of putting one in the double attached garage
as a vehicle could combust in there...I dunno....any suggestions?
Answer:
I would have an extinguisher for each area but remember don't but the unit
next to the wood stove since if there is a fire you won't be able to get
near it!. Car fires if really small can be put out pretty easy. Just
remember fires like oxygen So opening a door to get to the fire can cause it
to leap! Make sure you have smoke and CO detectors that work! Call 911 and
make sure they can FIND your house!
If possible don't store gasoline in your garage. If you have any ammunition
store that in as safe a place as possible and LET the fire department know
where the stuff is located. The same for propane tanks!
