get some sat119 grenades if you can!

but failing that NR's got the right idea ^^ fire extinguishers are always useful
just know your fire, memorise that fire triangle and the quicker you tackle the fire, the easier it is to tame, start lots of fires (as all good preppers should
) and get used to how it works, those reasons that make it hard to start a fire, can be used to stop a fire too ^^http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeWs8Aqo2Fk

Plus various types fire extinguishers.
Even do the odd fire drill. But now it is mentioned not done that since the kids moved out.

Got two smoke alarms fitted by the firebrigade. Randomly knocked on the door one day and were fitting them in the area. Probably have cameras/listening devices fitted inside. Feel sorry to who ever listens to my snoring and watches me walk naked.
