Do you frequently get stopped during your day by admiring people? For example, somebody compliments and praises your work. Has anyone ever asked for your autograph? Do you appreciate these gestures?

Asked by Syd almost 9 years ago

Quite frequently while out in public. Yes it does make you feel appreciated. No on the autographg.

Are fire extinguishers still or have they ever been kept in glass boxes with little hammers? That seems dangerous with all the broken glass.

Asked by Beth about 9 years ago

They used to be at one point and may still be in some older buildings. The basic concept was it allowed you to see that there was indeed a fire extinguisher in the locker. No they are usually kept in a metal box mounted on the wall with a metal door.

Asked by Jessy Wolsleben over 9 years ago

The best person to ask that would be the consumer safety commission, they tend to monitor these matters. As for installation a large majority of police and fire depts have employees trained just for that. Our police dept handles thos for us.
