Buying advice

When choosing a fire extinguisher, consider the fire class (A for combustibles, B for flammable liquids, C for electrical), the weight and placement accessibility, and whether you prefer rechargeable or disposable. For kitchens, an aerosol spray can be handy for small grease fires, but a larger ABC unit is better for general home use. Ensure the extinguisher is UL-listed and check the pressure gauge monthly.
