No Longer A Firestarter

This afternoon at work, I did fire training. Not on how to start fires (that’s next week), it was some less fun subject of “putting them out”.

As well as being shown the fire exits and alarms in my office block, we were allowed to test some fire extinguishers. Unfortunately we were not allowed to try them out on a real fire, but instead used an old chair as a target. Who would have thought spraying an everyday object with water and CO2 could be so much fun?

This newfound knowledge may come in useful for home. My letting agency has still not fixed the alarm, so if there's a fire, I'm screwed. Good thing I know how to use a fire extinguisher, now I can go round to their offices and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
