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…

    Oof, car fires are tough to put out.

    Even if you do, odds are there’s still extensive damage.

    Still better than it turning into an inferno, if nothing else for the safety of everyone.

      Yeah, poor thing was totaled because the mechanic left an oily rag on the engine.

      We got another one but it was an automatic and not a true Westfalia.
