Fire Extinguishers – We recommend each home be equipped with fire extinguishers. Placement of fire extinguishers in the kitchen area, garage, and basement or utility room are recommended as these are the most common sources of fires in the home. ABC type extinguishers are recommended as they will extinguish most fires that start in the home. Extinguishers should be mounted on a bracket in an easily accessible and visible area, so it is available in a fire emergency. Residents should be trained on the proper use of fire extinguishers
