Just a suggestion for your garage/ shop!!  2017 I had a fire here & had 2 small ext. on the wall but they weren't enough & lost the shop + 2 cars & car trailer + all contents !!! Devastating to say the least, + 2 broken ribs when I slipped on ice running back for hose. 51 Torpedo back & Cutlass rag top totaled but well covered by insurance. New shop built and have " 2 " LARGE extinguishers !!!~!~ Losing the Pontiac broke my heart, 6 years of blood sweat in that car, ran strong [ 400 hp+] 5 speed Tremic all on shortened 86 Monty chassis. Cutlass hurt too but Pontiac more so!!

Sad to hear (read) and see there! Definitely good advice that we can all learn from here. I have a garage extinguisher but it's not a large one. Definitely going to buy one after seeing this. 

I remember that day. I was in shock and disbeleif when Pete sent me these photos.  It broke my heart when I learned the Pontiac and Olds were total losses. I wrote about it at the time.

What size extingushers do you have today Pete?

I know tehnically you can use the Molson in the fridge as a fire retardent too. 

Of course that would be alcohol abuse.

I've got a 10lb ABC [compared to the 2 lb ones] + a 10 or 15 gallon chrome refillable one out of a High school [ don't ask] for wood fire etc. fill it ,hit it with air hose to pressurize  it. Will shoot a good 20 ft. for at least 4 minutes or so!!!  That would have put out the work bench flames no problem as power had popped fuses when fridge or stereo shorted out after fire started!!!
