Survivalist Tip: A fire extinguisher is a good thing to have in your household under any circumstances. But, they can be especially important during the immediate aftermath of the apocalypse, when power and telephone services likely will collapse. Therefore, if a fire breaks out in your house, you can’t just call the fire department. You shouldn’t rely upon the fire department for something like that anyway. Just as with the police, the fire department can’t be everywhere, so you have to take care of crises yourself. Fire extinguishers come in various sizes, but they’re very affordable and easy to operate. And, don’t just buy 1 one of them; stockpile them like you should stockpile chocolate and bottled water! You definitely don’t want to use your cache of bottled water to put out a fire anyway. The chemicals in a fire extinguisher are more adept at snuffing out a fire. Besides, not only could a fire injure you and your loved ones, it’ll melt your chocolate!
