How awful would it be if the door was locked and they couldn't get to you? A good friend of mine says she always counts the number of doors in the hallway to the left and right of her hotel room door and writes it down so that if there was a fire she'd know how far to the stairs. I'd never even thought of that before! She said if you know how many doors, you can count them as you're crawling down the hallway. Plus you know which way is closer to the stairs. Ty, you're welcome. Thankfully the damage here was minimal (other than the very expensive skidsteer that was destroyed). The next week there wasn't even a smell of smoke in the house. Amazing! Air Jordans, buying more fire extinguishers is suddenly more important around here as well. We got one the other day and will continue to add to the supply as we can manage. How many do you have in your home? Junaidy, your parents had good advice. How awful would it be if the door was locked and they couldn’t get to you?

This is very crucial to talk about. Thanks for reminding me to replace my 5 year old kitchen fire extinguisher.:) Sometimes these important topics get shoved to the back of our priorities list.
