Thank you.

To go back to Jeff OTMG's logic, fire extinguishers are effective as linked with other factors that reduce the likelihood of a fire ever occurring and increase the likelihood that a fire can be contained. However, fire extinguishers would be ineffective if fire safety precautions were not used and people do not know how to use fire extinguishers. The effectiveness of fire extinguishers would be reduced if fire extinguishers increased the likelihood that a fire would occur and that the fire would be fatal. If people brought in fire extinguishers to blow birthday candles on a cake, that would be a FAIL and an unnecessarily escalation. If people grabbed fire extinguishers and said "I don't know what's next," that would be a FAIL. If people grabbed fire extinguishers and aimed it at their eyes, that would be a FAIL. If people confused the propane tank for the fire extinguisher, that would be a FAIL.
