It takes only about two minutes for a small spark to reach an out of control inferno. Whether it is in your work place or your home (especially your home) you should have all the appropriate small water fire extinguishers. There are different kinds for different fires, for example electric fires. These water fire extinguishers should be checked regularly to ensure they are in proper working order. Correct use of water fire extinguishers save lives, and even the children in your family should become familiar with how to use one. At your place of work you should always attend fire lectures.
