It bears repeating to never put water on a metal or glass woodstove fire to put it out unless you are ready to deal with a potentially bigger mess. The stove or the glass could crack and lead to a bigger problem with a fire not being contained.
It is time for a good reminder to folks as we get into fire season check your smoke detectors now before you start any fires. Test them and get new batteries in them. Also, make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector in the house perferably near your furnace if you have one, or near your woodstove if you have one.
Finally, get good fire extinguishers, big ones, not the whimpy girly ones that are sold for cheap. Get a big extinguisher and put them throughout your house in places that are easy to remember where they are so you do not have to think when the time to get them is at hand. For me it is under every sink and in every closet in the house on the left side, just inside the door. IN case of emergency I know I have at least 15 pound fire extinguishers at the ready and I know where they are so there will be no thinking required. I am too good at the non-thinking part.
