C) Fire Escape Ladders, blankets, and fire extinguishers:

1. Store a Window Fire Escape Ladder accessible, in each bedroom above the 1^st floor. Several Personal Fire Escape Blankets should be provided in each area (especially one per  bedroom) of the home
2. Place a Fire Extinguisher in each of the following areas: common hallway on each level, Kitchen, basement, garage, workshop, etc. It is also recommended to carry a properly rated fire extinguisher in each car, Recreational Vehicle, and boat.

            
           Fire Extinguishers are classified by fire type.
           The A, B, C, rating system defines the kinds of burning materials each fire
           extinguisher is designed to fight. The number in front of the A, B, or C indicate
           the rating size of fire the unit can extinguish.
                 Fire extinguishers with a Class A rating are effective against fires
           involving paper, wood, textiles and plastics. The primary chemical used to
           fight these fires is   monoammonium phosphate, because of its ability to
           smother fires in these types of materials.
            Fire extinguishers with a Class B rating are effective against flammable
           liquid fires. These can be fires where cooking liquids, oil, gasoline, kerosene,
           or paint have become ignited. Two commonly used chemicals are effective in
           fighting these types of fires. Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers
           the fire, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which
           extinguishes the fire.
            Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for fires in "live"
           electrical equipment. Both monoammonium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate
           are commonly used to fight this type of fire because of their non-conductive
           properties.
