You cannot go overboard with safety when it comes to fire hazards… I lived in an house years ago where we didn’t even have fire extinguishers in each unit.
- Nowadays I could not even fathom being in a building that didn’t have some kind of fire extinguisher inside the room.
It would be a major risk for all of the renters in the building if one single renter didn’t have access to a fire extinguisher, however sometimes you beginning a fire while you are cooking by accident you just need a fire extinguisher to put it out, then this can prevent the whole building from going up in flames. There are other things besides ovens and stovetops that could cause fires in homes. Space boilers are notorious for being fire hazards over time. That’s why a lot of the newer space boilers come with safety features on them to make sure that they are less likely to be a fire hazard. One of the most official safety features you see in most space boilers these mornings is a tip over switch. The tip over switch on a space furnace is always activated as long as the space furnace is laying on its base. The second it gets displaced from its laying position, the tip over switch disengages and the entire unit turns off. The space furnace loses electricity and power as soon as it starts to tip. That way the coils cannot hit the floor and beginning a fire, another safety feature on space boilers is an warm fuse. These determine if the space furnace has been left on too long and is at risk of overheating itself.
