I have two extinquishers in the workshop and one in the kitchen along with a fire blanket. Also smoke detectors all over the house and a carbon monoxide detector in the lounge. Am I being paranoid :\ .
Apart from setting one of the smoke alarms off when I do some cooking I've never had to use any of the extinquishers.
Years ago when marshalling at a race meeting I thought it was a good idea to give a large fire extinguisher a little test. Embarrassingly I then couldn't stop it and ended up stuffing the nozzle into a straw bail and watched foam coming out in all directions.
