PC found this 'Fyr-Fyter' in one of the little storage closets in the back of the 1st floor:
And, even though 'Fyr-Fyter' is an oddball name, this water-filled fire extinguisher was still fully charged. Because we didn't really believe it, PC pulled the pin and squeezed the handle and sprayed it all over the floor (sorry, no pictures of that) and then, to empty it, he took it outside and sprayed down the parking lot, too (sorry, no pictures of that, either).
What's really impressive is this:
Can you read it? It's March 6, 1969! And it still works!
And look where it came from:
It's from the Grafton Fire Department.
It's good to know that the Grafton Fire Department is reliable.

Me, too!
I was impressed that it still worked and, theoretically at least, can be refilled and recharged. Maybe I'll walk it down to the Fire Department before I do that, though.
