Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home? If yes, do you know where it is? Better yet, do you know how to use it?

yes. it is under the sink... and not only do i know HOW to use it, i have used it. silly oven fires.

Andrew said...

Yes, but I don't know where it is. I know I've seen it. It might be in the kitchen. And no, I don't. But, I rarely cook so that's ok.

rob said...

yes, yes, and yes

Leslie said...

Yes, yes and I had to prove I knew how to use it during orientation for a job years ago. Not sure if I know how to use the small kitchen extinguisher I have. I hope I could figure it out.

There is one in the hallway and i hope it works.

My dad would grill us on how to use them: PASS - pull aim squeeze(squirt?) sweep. I hope fire extinguisher technology hasn't changed much over the past 20 yrs....

I know I have one, but I don't know where it is. I actually took a 15 min class once on how to use one. Did the DC fire dept. sponsor this question? ;-)

Kate wants me to share this anecdote: while working at Home Depot, I was driving a forklift and misjudged how far I was from the end of an isle, where a fire extinguisher was posted. One fork clipped the valve, and the canister emptied its payload - the resulting cloud filled the entire building. Only outside lawn-and-gardent was spared. You know how big a Home Depot is. That took a while to clean up.
