The fire extinguisher in my garage is almost 20 years old now and the pressure gauge is right at the edge of the red zone. That means it’s time to order a new one!

Decided to get two because it seems like a good idea to have one out by the grill (and they’re a better deal that way) 👍

Very excited because this means I get to play teach the kids how to properly use a fire extinguisher with the old one! Been a while since we used the fire pit out back…

    I did consider the CO and smoke alarm too, but at least here in California, they’re supposed to check that those are present when transacting a house sale. Whether they have to be functional, idk. But maybe I’ll also bring a pair of 9v batteries for good measure.

      From what I understand, smoke alarms now require a 10 year battery, no longer needing replacement.

      CO detectors still seem to use replaceable though.

      Get some of the ones with long internal batteries. Or if you still get the 9v ones truly replace the batts every clock change and the unit every 5 years or so.
