The solution is simple: Always keep a sledgehammer in the bathroom. It's good for breaking through walls, as well as clearing exceedingly tough clogs.
Every kitchen should have a fire extinguisher, and be prepared to use it. Upon fire, you should never panic, and pick the fire extinguisher and use it properly. Now if you can't reach one or is jammed or empty because you forgot to verify it every 6 month, now you may panic and break your walls.
Keeping a fire extinguisher in the kitchen won't help if you discover a fully-formed fire. At that point no extinguisher is going to help, you need a trained professional.
Fire extinguishers are a bad idea. Too many different types of fires can be possible in a kitchen-chip pan, gas, electrical, burnt food etc Fire blanket is the most I would suggest.
It's always the Oregonians My wife is from Oregon and it's a running joke that if either of us ever reads a wacky story 9 times out of 10 the person involved is from Oregon.
What a tool, trying to run from a fire through a wall. He should have invited the neighbours round, cracked open a few brewski's and hosted an impromptu barbeque.
I think the sledgehammer, axe or (dare I suggest..) crowbar! Would be the best idea to keep in every room.. Covers all eventualities; Fire, Toilet Mishap, Zombies, Undoing Loo Roll without shredding it...
A dry chemical Type ABC extinguisher is a good all-purpose extinguisher for households. They cover everything from paper and wood fires, to liquids and electrical devices. A type BC extinguisher is especially suited to the typical fires that occur in kitchens. I keep an extinguisher under the kitchen sink, but I wonder if it would be a better idea to keep it in a neutral location close by. That way, if a fire is already burning I can still access the extinguisher.
I think you're on to something. This is a state which doesn't trust people with pumping their own gas! What more do you expect?
Fixed for inhumane failure of the English Language. Then again, you're from Shottingham.. at least you didn't say "Nah bled, stopped by dry wall innit.. dats joke!! At mah yard I fell thru one afta runnin n croppin big tyme.... ya gets me" Yep... I know the ways of the breadbin.
my advice would be grow some brain and don't start fires, but I might be old fashioned. Why did he not turn off the stove before going to bathroom? after all it is only a couple of minutes...
