Each and every home ought to have at least one fire extinguisher, located inside the kitchen. Much better still would be to install Antique Fire Extinguishers on every level of a house and in every single potentially hazardous area, including (besides the kitchen) the garage, furnace room, and workshop. Choose fire extinguishers by their size, class, and rating. “Size” refers to the weight in the fire-fighting chemical, or charge, a fire extinguisher contains, and normally is about half the weight of the fire extinguisher itself. For ordinary residential use, extinguishers two and a half to five pounds in size commonly are adequate; these weigh five to ten pounds.
