Barry,

 BM> Actually good tips for the home, with or without a ham shack.  Have at
 BM> least one all-purpose fire extinguisher in a cental location but
 BM> located on the side of the exit: one does not want to be fighting a
 BM> fire from the dead end side and be trapped!

  And, make sure the extinguisher is charged and ready to use. Plus, have
one that handles all classes of fires:

A - wood, textiles, paper, rubbish
B - flammables, solvents
C - electrical

 BM> Defib is probably overkill (did I mean to say that?!) but a First Aid
 BM> Kit is another must.

  Is Defib when you're telling the truth?? :P  

 BM> As for the shut-off switch, know where the shut-off valves for water
 BM> and natural gas are.

  You can stop a gas leak with one finger. :P

 BM> And if something happens call 911 first, then fight the fire, etc.:
 BM> those seconds might be needed!

Neighbor to Blonde: "My house is on fire!! Call 911".
Blonde to Neighbor: "What's the number??".

  A blonde's house is on fire, but she doesn't know her address. When
asked how the fire department would get to her house, she replied "DUH!!
Big Red Truck!!" <G>
