Out of curiosity, isn’t there a Law where-by every household should have a fire extinguisher? If not, then maybe there needs to be.
Not sure if there is a law, but even if there was who would enforce it.
Possibly the owners / tenants of rental units can be a start. This along with “records” of the registered apts. houses that do or don’t have extinguisher relating to the assessment number/s.
(Food for though)
I believe water can be used to extinguish some fires, and that most households already have a supply.
SO THANKFUL NO-ONE WAS HURT.
