If I have baking soda, do I still need a fire extinguisher?

Fire Extinguisher

You should be sure to have a fire extinguisher located centrally in your kitchen within easy reach should a grease fire occur. It is important that you don't keep the extinguisher right next to the stove, since you could be burned if a fire occurred and you had to lean over to access it. Yet select a spot for it that is in plain sight and won't be hard to get in seconds. Most home safety tips in the kitchen suggest mounting it by the kitchen door. Also, never rely on one fire extinguisher for many rooms. Have several handy in various locations throughout your house so you can respond right away in a firer emergency.
