Found this in the back of the shed, can't remember the last time I used it . Probably put it back again.......just in case.

That day arrived a couple of weeks ago......I soaked up a bit of spilt diesel and oil with some sawdust and thought nothing of it till I did some welding. A spark must have gone behind me cos when I'd done I turned round to see a fire in the middle of the shed, luckily it was in the middle on a concrete floor but needed the extinguisher when I set fire to my boot as well trying to stamp it outOne of the best examples of that is a fire extinguisher, it'll sit on its bracket for years, only used as a door stop, then one day...
