A very important PSA....

About fire extinguishers....

(sugarwood's brought back some memories)

Yeah/// I know we all have one...
But here's the newsflash- make sure you are familiar with it.

"well I'm an intelligent gent.... I can figure it out..."

Ok whatever....

I have had not one, but TWO cars catch fire, and I will tell you this- when it happens, you go straight into adrenaline mode.

On my most recent "incident", I yanked the entire top off of the extinguisher rendering it useless!

So basically this. Give yourself a sunday morning project, go find your extinguisher, and familiarize yourself with how it works. Especially if it has a lot of PLASTIC on it.

Believe me, you will DESTROY it with adrenaline really quickly in a real fire.

Practice how you will pull it out of however you have it stored.

Familiarize yourself with how to pull out the pin etc... (I know-- seems stupidly easy)- for me, at least in one instance- it wasn't ....

Practice Practice Practice....


Your are welcome!
