This is going to be more of a life pro tip, but trying to reach the largest audience here.
Just had a frantic neighbour knocking at my door saying there is a fire in her oven.
I was over there in under 60 seconds with the fire extinguisher. There was a pot of oil on fire wedged between the element and the rack. No way to quickly and safely remove it, so I blasted it.
If I had tried to remove the pan, it’s likely it would have ended up spilling burning oil everywhere and making the situation much worse. Now they just have a house full of dust to clean.
Will replace our extinguisher today and am considering buying a few more to gift this Christmas.
the house is filled with your stuff which includes your physical body which includes your lungs which doesn’t like fire or smoke all that much
If there’s a fire I leave and my stuff is covered by insurance. Fire extinguisher are a good purchase if you live in an apartment or have stuff inside your house that you care about but for me that doesnt apply.
