(HealthDay News) -- Smoke detectors aren't the only devices that should be kept throughout the home in the event of a fire.
Fire extinguishers are equally important. The National Safety Council offers these suggestions for where to keep them:
Keep an extinguisher that can handle both grease and electrical fires in your kitchen.
Place another extinguisher next to your furnace, and one in your garage.
Keep additional extinguishers at other places where a fire could start.
Make sure everyone in the home who is physically able knows how to work an extinguisher.
