You don't try to put out a raging fire with a collection of fire extinguishers.
Finally, I don't smoke, so my bed will not be the first place to catch fire.

And you'll be able to open the door, head down the hall, and get the kids? A fire extinguisher can be used for more than putting the fire out. Controlling it, or allowing you to maneuver/buying yourself extra time to make your escape, allowing your children/family to do the same.

I'm not going to argue about the utility of a fire extinguisher in a gun safe thread. It was merely meant to be a thinking point, keep your fire extinguisher next to your pistol, etc.

I'd ask you to try thinking about it.
