[57North] [IMPORTANT] Fire extinguishers

[Calum Chisholm]

Thanks Tony - that sounds ideal.

I wasn't able to find a CO2 extinguisher in Costco, so I'll probably just
order one online (unless anyone else is near a likely supplier?).

Probably this one:

and a sign:

On a related note, is there a first-aid kit in the space?
