PEOPLE PLEASE BUY TWO EXTINGUISHERS FOR YOUR HOME! PLEACE IN KITCHEN AND BEDROOM. YOU CAN BUY THEM AT ANY HARDWARE STORE OR ON AMAZON. WATCH 2-3 YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON HOW TO USE (super easy but you should know in case you need to use). Prayers for all living beings to be protected and safe in this building. 🙏
