Kitchen fires can happen, and they can be incredibly dangerous. Be prepared by having this kitchen fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency. It's durable, compact enough to fit in a cabinet, or can be mounted to a wall with the included bracket. It's designed to fight flammable liquid and electrical fires, and has a waterproof label with instructions.
A fire extinguisher can be difficult to use if you've never used one before, so have a couple of these easy-to-use spray cans on hand. They discharge four times longer than a traditional fire extinguisher, giving you 32 seconds of firefighting time. The cans can extinguish paper, fabric, wood, grease, and electrical fires.
In addition to a fire extinguisher, you should have one (or several) fire blankets on hand in your house. A fire blanket can extinguish fire by suffocating it, including liquid and grease fires. They can also be used to wrap around you and your family as a heat shield to keep you safe.
