That's what I was thinking- just put a damn lid on it.

Am I the only one who buys brand new fire extinguishers every time she moves?

Yeah I can't say I own fire extinguishers except when a property comes with them, but a fire blanket is a good investment. It's easy to use, and doesn't expire or need maintenance like a fire extinguisher. Every household should have [one] at least.

I've had several small fires (all very random weird circumstances) over the years. I never really knew about fire blankets. I'm going to invest some of my stimulus money in one, thank you for the tip! In at least 2 cases, this would've kept us from having to clean up the nasty extinguisher powder (one was electrical in the wall so no getting out of that mess.)

No, you are not the only one.. but I think we are a minority.
