I had to use a fire extinguisher once when my car caught on fire in the garage due to a recall on my car. The scary part was that the key wasn't even in the ignition. Luckily, I was leaving the house when I did because that's when I noticed the fire. </p> <p>Now I know the importance of keeping a fire extinguisher in each floor of the house, and the garage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998935 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:10:28 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1998935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt we would have one if our home study didn't require it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998933 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:04:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1998933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in an apartment and the extinguisher isn't even a step outside my front door! Thankfully! We also have very sensitive fire alarms, and the fire station is a block away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998917 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 13:31:09 +0000 chopsuey 1998917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998886 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:51:11 +0000 wheres_c 1998886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: interesting! I have no idea how to turn off the gas, I will have to check </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998873 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:39:59 +0000 Astro Bee 1998873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3 fire extinguishers, as well. Plus new smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and a fire blanket. I'm the safety conscious one in our house, so bought them when we moved to our new house last summer (DH left the last ones behind at our old house - for some reason he thought they came with the house). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998866 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:30:18 +0000 cascademom 1998866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, DH bought one a few months ago for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998864 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:28:55 +0000 Synchronicity 1998864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have three!

Being married to a former firefighter, it would feel weird not to have them. </p> <p>Also know where to turn off your gas from the main line! We live in an earthquake prone area, so this is super important for us, but handy for everyone to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998827 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 11:15:34 +0000 Ginabean3 1998827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one right by the door that goes out to the garage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998820 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 11:06:55 +0000 lady baltimore 1998820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one, but now that I think about it, it's been moving from home to home with us for a few years now. I should check the expiration date on it. We also need to get at least one more smoke detector. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998745 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 09:28:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1998745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 or 3.

They're probably expired though... they expire, right? We keep talking about how we need to buy an escape ladder for the upstairs though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998233 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 14:00:35 +0000 Radish 1998233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, 4. We also have an escape ladder for the second floor. Bought it all as we moved into our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998210 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 13:21:33 +0000 MapleMoose 1998210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do have a fire extinguisher, and carbon monoxide and fire alarms. I have been meaning to check the fire extinguisher though since it's been awhile. Thank you for the reminder. And I'm glad your incident wasn't more serious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998209 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 13:21:09 +0000 AmandaB8 1998209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's house caught fire when I was in high school - we have one on every floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998195 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 13:03:26 +0000 PrincessBaby 1998195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one in just about every room...DH is a safety stickler, even more so since having a LO! I pick on him and call him "Fire Marshall Bill" bc he will surprise quiz me sometimes and go "Quick! Where is the closest fire extinguisher?!?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998182 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 12:49:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1998182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one in most rooms. Also required for our home studies, so that keeps us current. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998181 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 12:48:23 +0000 mrs. bird 1998181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So scary, glad you guys are okay! </p> <p>Just a tiny little one. We have sprinklers though, I'm guessing anything more than what the tiny one could handle would turn on the sprinklers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998157 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 12:00:35 +0000 macintosh 1998157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is scary! I think there's a fire extinguisher in the garage (just bought the house this year), but I have no idea if it works. Better check that out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998155 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 11:58:39 +0000 wheres_c 1998155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I never thought of it since we've always lived in apts where they were provided for us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998151 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 11:42:43 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1998151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How scary!

We have 3 actually, one for each floor (basement, main level, and upstairs!) it's unlikely we would ever need one upstairs, but I would rather be safe than sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998144 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 11:33:43 +0000 Ash 1998144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-fire-extinguisher-in-your-house#post-1998143 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 11:32:56 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1998143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did before but bought one for our home study! </p>
