How many fire extinguishers do you have in your house or apartment?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43706points) March 30th, 2021

I have 5. Three 8 pound units and two 5 pound units. Two are in my living room on either side of my wood burning stove and I have one each in the basement, kitchen, and garage. I think I need more.
I recently used an old 20 pounder and an 8 pounder to put out a fire that got away from my neighbor while he was burning trash. The fire burned about 1000 sq ft (100 sq meters) of my woods before we got it out. I had those extinguishers for decades and never used them. They sure came in handy.
How many do you have? Do you know where they are? Is the pressure in the green “OK” zone on each one?
Are you going to get more?
