There are two schools of thought on whether or not you should have A fire extinguisher in your home…

One says do not attempt to extinguisher a fire. No matter how small, they say to just get out, call the fire service and leave to the professionals. This view considers that an untrained person cannot, therefore should not tackle a fire.

The other says that it is up to the individual. If they consider themselves capable, they should make an attempt. After all, a fire extinguisher can put out a small fire before the firefighters arrive. Or, it can at least suppress the flames until they do. It could be the difference between a little outburst of flames and a full house fire. 

If you fall into the second group; you will probably want to, if you haven’t done already, purchase fire extinguishers for your home. If you do purchase fire extinguishers, make sure you read and FULLY understand the instructions. If necessary, look for training on the use of such extinguishers.
