That's good you realized that she couldn't reach the extinguisher. I'm not sure if my wife could reach our extinguisher where it was in the coat closet. Putting it on the ground would mean it would eventually be covered in stuff and pushed to the back. My kids are old enough now to run and grab an extinguisher if we needed them to, but I wouldn't trust them yet to use it. My top priority for them is to know how to safely get out of the house and call 911. We're less than a mile from the fire station so help would be here fast. Unfortunately, there was a fatal house fire in my parent's neighborhood a week ago that has made all of this top of mind for me. -
This is why i like the top of my fridge. These conversations made me realize i needed to make sure my wife could reach out. Found out she couldn't so i moved in from being pushed all the way back to the front edge. All our lower cabinets have child locks so that's a no go. Also thought about mounting it on the side of a cabinet on a hook but figured the fridge was good enough. I'll have to mount one lower once the kids are older. Hopefully I'll have the kitchen redone by then and maybe I'll create a custom extinguisher cabinet specifically for it that's within easy reach. -

Thanks Coop. Hopefully I'll never need to use it. Once it arrives and there's a place for it everyone will get briefed. Finally got the kids to memorize our address and my phone number. Funny story. Neither of my children (9 and 6) realized that cell phones used to only be for calling people. I discovered that last night. Need to find a phone history museum to really blow their minds.
