Good news everyone!

The fire extinguisher works!

It's more fun when I don't explain. :)

Sadly they generally only work once. You need to get it recharged now.

I used it only for a short burst, but you're right, it's pointing just over the edge of the empty line. Thankfully the recharging isn't a big deal out here; the fire departments do it for next to nothing (I think).

Good to know. Better to be able to take it on faith without proving that it works.

Alternately, baking soda work fairly well, especially on grease fires.

I take it you're OK, since you're posting rather than gazing at the charred ashes of your former home.

Zoinks.

Woot for working fire extinguishers.
Boo for grease fires.

Maybe you should teach to puppies to use the extinguishers too!

reading comment, yiikes... grease fire. My sister almost had one a few years ago, and I was home, and they were trying to make a stir fry (her and her ex boyfriend at the time) ... she smoked the house up with the fire alarm going off LOL At least I was awake to see the whole thing.
