Heard the phrase an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? In this case, it is a 2.5 pound dry chem fire extinguisher prevented a house fire.
One of our homeowners illustrated the importance of cleaning your chimney often AND having a working fire extinguisher.
Homeowner says he is buying a bigger extinguisher. Maybe two, just in case.
Thanks to our neighbors at Owego and Campville for the great response to what could have been a long day.
