Reply #12: There's one around the corner by my carport.

I take it that's not the correct answer?

Then again, with an eight year old boy in the house, the disaster potential for keeping one in the sink is approximately 95%, so we're probably better off having to run a few feet away to grab one and eliminating the high likelihood of one being set off in the house when there's no fire.

Keep a lot of baking soda in the kitchen for grease fires, so you can smother them before they get out of hand. You can also cover up fires that start in a skillet or similar pan up with the pan's lid and smother them that way, in many cases. The trick is not to panic and to stop the problem before it gets larger.
