Question:

Should I use my fire extinguisher?

My oven is on fire but I only have one fire extinguisher Should I use it? I want to make sure I have one around in case there's an emergency!

Answer:

way to much of a dramatic change there. get a full cheek D-ring or eggbutt snaffle. i ride my hot headed ottb in an eggbutt and hes fine. Actually with a harsher bit he focused more on trying to dislodge the uncomfortable hunk of metal in his mouth than he did on his rider. Kind bits and good riding and bonding work far better than harsher bits. Good Luck!
Probably not, if you have no gas appliances of any kind in the home you can't have carbon monoxide unless you park your car inside the house or something is wrong with the way your fireplace is venting. Make sure the damper on your fireplace is open when you use it. If you have a newer tighter house and you run alot of exhaust vents there is the possibility of insufficient oxygen for the fire and the production of carbon monoxide. Your smoke detectors would almost certainly be going off before this happens. Don't leave your fire burning overnight unsupervised. Always have a smoke detector in every bedroom and in the hallways that service the bedrooms.
If it's the type of alarm that operates off the AC line rather than batteries, it may be reacting to power line transients. I had one that would beep every time I swithched off a fluorescent light fixture on the same circuit.If it's a battery-operated alarm, try replacing the battery and/or making sure the contacts grip the battery securely to prevent a bad or intermittent connection - many smoke alarms will sound when the battery connection is restored; if there's a bad connection, even very slight vibration can make and break the connection, triggering the alarm to do its new battery installed sound.
you might try replacing the battery in it.
