Fire extinguisher

Amazon.com

Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher per floor. If you have only one, make sure it’s near the kitchen, where most home fires start.

Look for an ABC-rated unit that will extinguish all fire types.

Teach everyone in the home where it is and how to use it. While you’re at it, make sure your family has a plan to escape in the event of fire, and practice it.
