Similarly, you can set up a permanent 50' or 100' expanding garden hose and nozzle in a kitchen or bathroom, someplace centrally located in the house to get used as a water/fire hose and long enough to reach that problematic Vermont wood stove. Should-a got a New Hampshire wood stove ....  ! |
FLL please do not do this on a petroleum based fire! You may think using water on one is a great idea, it's not rather just causes it to spread both rapidly and out of control. This very thing was demonstrated to us in US Navy fire fighting school and it's pretty remarkable to see. It's also not terribly smart on an electrical fire unless you want to risk getting yourself zapped pretty good.
