Seriously, everyone NEEDS to get a fire extinguisher for the kitchen. And keep it up to date. We've collectively forgotten just how deadly fires are, if someone in the middle ages found out we had the technology to almost instantly put out a decently sized fire and most people just, like, don't bother to have it in their homes, they'd lose their minds.

    yeah they have best-before dates on them. i think they should be switched every few years or so

    Disposable extinguishers have to be replaced every 10 years or so. Used or not.

    Rechargeable ones need internal service every 5 or 6 years depending on model, but with proper maintenance they can last indefinitely, but doing that costs money.
