something i learned recently that probably should be more widely known.
There is no such thing as a two-extinguisher fire.
In the time it will take to locate a second fire extinguisher, the fire will likely grow beyond your ability to control. If you can't put the fire out with the first extinguisher, it is time to leave.

@astrid@tiny.tilde.website yep. And if you have to “go looking for” the extinguisher, it’s already probably too late.

@astrid@tiny.tilde.website When I have done fire risky things, I have made sure to have two fire extinguishers near at hand. Been a few years since I have welded at home or used candles on the xmas tree, though
