Did you know that almost half of house fires start in the
kitchen?
It’s that time of year when we spend a lot of time in the
kitchen.
Hosting friends and family, baking, making a meal for a sick
friend.
With so much going on, it’s too easy to get distracted or
careless.
A fire extinguisher is an essential household item.
But remember … they either expire (in ~12 years) or need to be
recharged (~ every 6 years).
Raise your hand if
a) you know where your fire extinguisher is located
b) it’s still good
I just checked, and I’m good. 🙂
I also found a great product for you.
