I have one right by the entry to my kitchen. I do occasionally check it's pressure gauge. Mounted to the wall on a slide hook kinda thing.

Yup. Near the wood stove, it's obvious why. For outside there's the garden hose, and if that doesn't help there's still the fire department. Basically a 1 minute drive there, while officially calling, waiting 4 minutes for the others to arrive and half a minute back lol

I have one in my kitchen. This kinda reminded me it's been ages since i looked it over to make sure it's in working condition.

I have one in my pantry. Can't remember how long I've had it so guessing I should probably check it

I have a fire blanket on the kitchen wall, not far from the cooktop, and a large fire extinguisher in the garage, just inside the door from the house (right near the foot of the stairs).

Mine

Am a renter and I have an extinguisher provided for me. There is one in my kitchen that I always keep in reach and one right outside my front door. My last apartment did not provide one so I went out and bought one. I'd rather "waste" $40 than lose my belongings. I'd also like to get a fire blanket at some point, should really stop putting it off.

If it's a real extinguisher, can't you just have it recharged and reuse it?

I have 4 :)

Of course, I need them for work

Yes

Have a small extinguisher under the kitchen sink for fat and a large one in the cupboard

We have three. One in the kitchen, one in the master bedroom and one in the garage. We also have fire escape ladders in the two occupied bedrooms.

I had to use one recently as our trash can caught fire. We had some towels we had used to oil our griddle and they must have still been hot when we threw them away.

Yep, one in the utility room by the furnace, one in the upstairs front door closet beside the kitchen, and one in the garage. Haven't had to use them for myself personally... but the neighbours came slamming on the door a few times needing one.

IMO every residence should have one handy. Never know what could happen or who might need one. I really should get one thats rated for electrical fires however.

We have a large one just off the kitchen in the garage hanging just outside the door, and a small one in the kitchen.

I bought the large one after a house all but burnt down up the street like 7-8 years ago.

Yes. But it is out of date.

Absolutely.

Yes, I have a wood burning fireplace just seemed like a good idea.

One in the car (it’s a hybrid full of ‘splody batteries). One in the office. One larger one in the kitchen along with a pan fire thing. A big extinguisher on the middle landing in the house.

All those ‘fireXO’ ones suitable for any fire type… not that I’ve tested that yet. Thankfully.

I'm a renter so I'd sooner let the house burn down than spend $20 on a fire extinguisher. If the landlord wants to provide one I'd use it but it's not my responsibility to buy one.
