In case of fire
Sometimes I wonder if I had a previous life in which I died in a fire. My parents tell me that I’ve never been in a fire, but I have recurring dreams where I am traveling home and arrive home to find the house engulfed in flames. When I was a little girl and told my parents about my nightmares about the house burning down they would just “poo poo” my dreams.
I can’t recall ever seeing a fire extinguisher in my parents house anywhere. They carried one in their boat (I think it’s required by law) but I never saw one anywhere in the house. Do you think that’s odd? Come to think of it, when I go to my friend’s houses I never see fire extinguishers there either! I wonder if they are just creative and clever about hiding them. And I wonder if hiding them is a good idea!
I have one right beside my kitchen door, near the stove. I figure that is the most likely place that I would need to have one. No one in the house smokes, so there really isn’t a lot of danger about fires in other areas of the house. Come to think of it, a good housewarming gift for new homeowners would be a good fire extinguisher! I wonder if they would think it is too much of a “pun” between “housewarming” and fire extinguisher?
