Everyone needs a couple of decent sized ones in the shop and home. They need to be inspected every 3 months for state of charge and all need to know proper usage.

Funny story (funny now)......

My wife only cooks me breakfast on Sunday mornings prior to church. i awoke on a Sun. am to the scream of FIRE!! Yep, the damn stove is on fire. The little "bottle" i kept next to the kitchen was in my shop because i had fired off my GTO the night before. So a 1/2 asleep naked man (me) is trying to smother the fire/stove/breakfast, flames hitting the ceiling with a damn blanket. Finally get it smothered, when the wife throws a five pound bag of baking soda on me! Now I'm covered in white s@#t powder! Took everybody to IHOP.

Couple of days later, the fire extenguisher guy comes to the dealership (I'm svc. mgr.). I sign off on the order and purchase 3 good sized ones for me. Two for the house, one for the shop. Thankfully i have never had a need for them. Their like my handgun's though; charged and ready...........
