Fire extinguishers and baking soda, always have them in the kitchen.

Life saver on fire extinguishers: Practice. See a post like this? JUMP and run to your extinguisher. Can you find it by reflex?

Because if shit goes south, you don't have time to think about it. Just try it a few times when it occurs to you. Like NOW. A time or three will get you in the zone.

While you're at it, check the gauge on the side. Look good? OK, there's a place to pencil in the last time it was checked. Do so. I just did! Thanks OP!

When it gets old, AFTER you bring home a new one, take the old one outside and practice with it until it's used up. Educational and fun.

If its a dry powder extinguisher WEAR A MASK if only practicing. A lungfull of the powder will fuck your day right up.
