Why do we need fire extinguishers if there are fire fighters?

I'm sure everyone feels much safer knowing you carry a fire extinguisher around with you all the time.
All public buildings have fire extinguishers so perhaps they should also hang loaded guns in convenient places just in case. Just as fire extinguishers in public buildings are larger and better than the one you have a home or carry around, then it's possible to install bigger better guns. Think how much safer your work place would be if they hung loaded fully automatic military grade weapons in every room.

Statistics say banning fire extinguishers may even have a negative impact on public safety.

I suppose this is a joke, but I'm not getting it. Is this about guns?

Why do we need guns if there are police to protect us?

Ah, because when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. You should hear the audio of a 911 call. A mom and her two year old took a wrong turn, and ended up in an Antifa/BLM riot.
They surrounded her car, and were jumping on the hood and the roof. the 911 operator told her that the police wouldn't be able to respond, but that she was welcome to call city hall and file a complaint.
(This was all about the defund the police crap, and her little girl was screaming in the background.)

My dad taught me when I was a little girl, that you NEVER want to fuck with a mama bear or her cubs.

Fire extinguishers enable people to extinguish small fires before they become big fires. As a result, they help prevent the kind of damage a large fire would cause. But certainly if the fire extinguisher wasn't enough to extinguish the small fire a 911 call would be in order.

Thank you for MHO!

Fire fighters arrive after some minutes, this is enough to let the fire spread everywhere, burn the house down and spread even further.

With a fire extinguisher you can put out a, a small, fire in seconds and prevent further damage.

Because insurance companies want you to put the fire out to limit damage so they don't have to rebuild the whole house and to save special stuff you can't replace.

Fires spread and unless you want your small fire to turn into a full on house fire, I recommend a fire extinguisher lol

Only the government should have fire suppression technology.

Oh yeah if something catches on fire let me just call the fire fighters and wait 15 minutes until the fire is burning up half my house

For small fires that we don’t need to call the fire department for and also it’s quicker than them getting there if you have one on hand before it gets too big

[dustybiker]
