Guilty as charged. I spent too many tours in the USAF pulling Safety
Officer as an addt'l duty, so it's ingrained in me now. BUT! I don't
keep the FE where a flareup would keep me from getting to it. AND
rotate those things every couple of years if they're the dry powder
type. Also, keep a big box of bicarb nearby, for putting out grease
fires. Cheap insurance.
