Always try to keep two around, and I check the gauge a few times a year. One in the kitchen, one in the garage.

I like your writing. Do please keep up the blogging, you've just got a new subscriber. Thankfully wet tea towels have been sufficient for every kitchen fire I've ever tackled but maybe I should think about getting a fire extinguisher.

Cool good thinking

Wow, great story. You're a hero! I do have a fire extinguisher, under my kitchen sink. I don't think I've ever used it, but I've seen one used and remember the mess it made.

I don't see an expiration date on mine. Hopefully, if I ever have to use it, I'll just pull the pin, aim, squeeze and stuff will come out to stop the fire. Thanks for the reminder to get or check our fire extinguishers.

I had a fire extinguisher in one of my houses, that was a long time ago. I do remember it was never used. Yay for you for having one and using it. Have you come down off your high yet?
