A fire extinguisher near the layout is always a good thing to have. When you get the fire extinguisher, make sure it is a CO2 extinguisher, not the dry chemical ones that most places sell. The dry chem extinguisher will leave white powder all over everything in the room and probably in the next room too. They make a terrible mess, and the powder will get into everything, i.e. the motors and gears of any lococs. The CO2 ones leave no residue at all. They don't damage motors and gears. The CO2 ones cost abit more, but are worth it, especially when there are electrics involved. <br />DON'T use a soda water type, unless you like to live dangerously. They present a shock and short hazard. <br />After using a CO2 extinguisher, be sure to ventilate the room well. They do not present a toxic hazard, but displace oxygen. <br />
