1 nest on the central area of each floor, heat in the kitchen, gas over supply in and boiler.
fire blanket next to hob
a blue (powder) fire extinguisher on each floor
yes I have done fire marshal training
We have a like quarter sized fire extinguisher in the cuboard in the downstairs as well. People look very perplexed when they see it or I tell them. Seemed like a good idea when I bought them but must admit I've never checked the date or anything on them and they've been there years. Suppose I should.

I had my house rewired when I moved in, so all the smoke alarms are interlinked and powered from the mains (with a battery backup). I'm using Kidde Fyrnetics:
Ionisation alarms (1SFWR) in each of the downstairs rooms
Optical alarms (2SFWR) in each of the upstairs rooms, plus the hallway and landing (i.e. 1 on each floor)
Heat detector (3SFWR) in the kitchen
I also have an FD30 fire door for the kitchen, on the basis that a fire is most likely to start there.
