Do you take any steps to fireproof your home?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on September 20, 2012
“ Oh yeah, we have a plan in place if a fire comes; get the babies out and get the doggies out.”
“ I don’t even know. I have a smoke detector in my place.”
“ I have smoke detectors and a CO detector and a fire extinguisher in the garage.”
“ No, I’m pretty sure I would be screwed. Instead of putting up blinds on my windows I have a bunch of stuff on there so I would have a hard time getting out.”

First, I quit smoking many years ago; that ends the possibility of fires from "discarded smoking materials."

Probably the 1st thing to do to prevent fire is to not live in a structure where other people do things that will start a fire. Then you can practice safe habits that will help prevent a fire.

Each lemur has a super soaker. Once a week we hold fire drills. You can hear the hooting and screaming for miles.

I know what you mean. That's why I started buying the purple stuff for $450/oz. Kinda rough on the wallet, but not one damn seed ever. But then Chad got busted and I don't know where else to get it. Oh, Chad.........
