A Public Profile Name
Was making pancakes and sausage.
Sausage decided to spontaneously change its flavor from "maple" to "extra smoky" - which is to say flames started shooting out of the toaster oven. I had a fire blanket and threw it on top of the toaster oven.
Now, it would seem that I am not a patient soul when it comes to matters of my home burning down. The flames didn't stop immediately, but they were an order of magnitude smaller. I feel pretty good about the blankets ability to stop the fire had I left it at that.
But I lifted the blanket up to hit the fire with this extinguisher. Flames stopped instantly. I'm really glad to have had both, but I think either would have been able to stop the fire on its own. I bought the extinguisher 22 months ago and I've had a slight fear in the back of my mind that it wouldn't functional after sitting unused for almost 2 years. Nope - it worked perfectly and instantly.
Giving the extinguisher 5 stars because I can't give it 6. I'm annoyed that my breakfast doesn't have sausage instead of being devastated that my home is burning down. It has my stuff in it. And my spouse, too.
