Is kitchen an ideal spot to place the fire extinguisher (alat pemadam api) ?
Kitchen might not be the right place or the only place.
Imagine there's a fire broke out from the kitchen and you can’t grab the fire extinguisher from the kitchen itself if it's placed there. Therefore, it tells the fact that a house should have more than 1 fire extinguisher.
One of them can be placed at a convenient spot to cover both the kitchen and living room. At the same time, another unit kept in the master bedroom.
Type of property and number of fire extinguishers needed for a house, as a suggestion :
A) If you stay in a flat, apartment or condominium
- You should have at least 2 fire extinguishers
- One placed inside the kitchen, one placed inside the master bedroom
- At least a smoke detector installed in the kitchen, with connectivity to a smart phone.
B) If you stay in a single storey landed property
- You should have at least 2 extinguishers
- One placed inside the kitchen, one placed inside the master bedroom
- Get a third unit to be stationed in the living room if possible, as a backup
- At least 2 smoke detectors needed, one at the kitchen, one at the living room, with connectivity to a smart phone.
C) If you stay in a double storey landed property
- You should have at least 3 extinguishers
- Ground floor : One placed inside the kitchen, one placed at the living room
- First floor : Third unit placed inside the master bedroom
- At least 3 smoke detectors needed, one at the kitchen, one at the living room, one at the walk way on the first floor
