Everyone needs to go on Amazon and buy a twin set of mini fire extinguishers its $40. Yall screaming insurance claims and gentrification but dont get that you gonna lose everything because of a fire and not spending $40 to keep you and your family protected. You can save your family or safely exit with the extinguisher. Guys please get serious this can happen to anyone. Invest in your home and your family's future and just spend the $40.
