Fire extinguishers are awesome

Fire extinguishers are awesome, and everybody should own at least one.


And EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW HOW TO USE ONE.

If you're a San Francisco resident, take the NERT training - it's also awesome and you get to practice with a fire extinguisher (one of *many* useful tidbits). Other communities may have similar programs - search for CERT or check with the local fire department/emergency services folks.


(Nope, it's not April yet, but I'm starting with the earthquake safety and emergency-preparedness early…)

I find it amusing that we have one in our kitchen but its never been checked out after it was bought. Its several years old and probably isn't any good anymore. They have to be recharged pretty regularly and this one hasn't ever been recharged. I just hope we never have a fire in the Kitchen...
