Thank You Dr. Dean
Your reminder about “Checking our Fire Extinguishers” is a very timely one for me.
I will be out tapping on all three of my fire extinguishers today!
One of the compelling reasons I stay connected to this web site (I Forge Iron) is for the timely insight that is shared by knowledgeable blacksmiths such as your self (Dr. Dean) Daryl, Glenn, and Dale who all makes very good points and that care enough about everybody’s safety to support this post. That is good enough for me.
I would encourage everybody to follow your suggestion about checking their fire extinguishers
For those who do not have a fire extinguisher, please consider what your needs may be to save your life, limb, and all you have invested in your shop, just in case of a fire.
Then, please act on your findings!
As Glenn asked: When was the last time you checked the smoke detector and/or replaced the battery?
I say this with over 36 years of experience as an investigator who has seen more tragedy than I could bear at times. That is what compels me to take the time and effort to encourage you (my associates) to be safe.
In fact, now I am going to go out and dig my water hose out of the snow and store it in an area where it will be dry and accessible should I need it.
Be safe!
Old Rusty Ted
