A fire extinguisher can be difficult to use if you've never used one before, so have a couple of these easy-to-use spray cans on hand.

In addition to a fire extinguisher, you should have one (or several) fire blankets on hand in your house. A fire blanket can extinguish fire by suffocating it, including liquid and grease fires. They can also be used to wrap around you and your family as a heat shield to keep you safe.
