    1. One on each floor was required for foster care.

    3 in the house. One in the shed. One in each vehicle

    One on each floor and one in the garage. I've ignored them for so long I should see if they need a recharge.

    Back when I worked in the factory, they had a company come in once a quarter (I think was the interval) to check all the extinguishers throughout the plant. The guy would tip them upside down and whack them w/ a small hammer to dislodge/distribute the stuff that would settle out. Me and my pal Al would always find something to bang on our metal table - tap, tap, tap - to mock the extinguisher-guy when he came to our department. It was great fun. The guy's only mistake was letting us know it bugged him.

    The three units I have, I bought from him, mostly because I trusted his recommendation that only extinguishers that could be recharged were worth owning.

    a friend had an extinguisher in his trouble-prone car, slammed on the brakes to avoid an accident, the extinguisher went flying and filled the car with powder. He managed to pull the car over before having an accident anyway. Just a reminder to keep the things secured.

    I was rooting around in the back of my Explorer at the Strawberry Music Festival near Yosemite (mostly bluegrass) and found the trigger of a fire extinguisher and it went off in my face. I lived.

    I guess now I need to play whack-a-mole with my upside-down extinguishers and hope they don't go off on me.

    I'm terrible and don't own one. The fire department is literally in my backyard though... I need to go buy one...

    Never had one. Should probably get one. Just too lazy.

    Guess I need to replace ours we have had for a few years

  • Amos_UmwhatAmos_Umwhat Posts: 8,807 ✭✭✭✭✭

    One in the house, one in the shop, one in the RV. Probably all need replacing. Or maybe I can just whack them with a little hammer?

    4, one in each apartment, but I don’t know how old they are, and I need to get one for the garage. Good reminder.

  • CharlieHeisCharlieHeis Posts: 8,511 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I've got one in the kitchen and have tested it recently. It passed but I'll probably pick up another one soon as it's pretty old.

    At any given time at least 10-20. Other than the personal use ones, the others are dedicated to job sites.

    A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
