A fire extinguisher is one of the most important safety tools you can have in your home but only if itโs ready to use.
We recommend having one on every level of your home, plus in high-risk areas like your kitchen and garage. Check the pressure gauge, ensure itโs not expired, and make sure everyone knows where to find it and how to use it.
