Gasoline? Don’t let it inside in the house. Ever.

Who is bringing gas inside? I’m struggling to come up with even one legitimate reason to bring gasoline inside.

Eh, I keep it in my garage. If it catches on fire, the fire will spread to the rest of the house pretty quickly.

gasoline powered heaters?

You don’t often hear about laptops burning. And many of those spend their while lives plugged in

Yes. These are extremely rare. Some models, like iirc a galaxy note and MacBook Pro have been singled out.
There was actually a house fire a while ago not too far from where I live that forensics said was started by a device in a charger at night.

My favorite thing about my current phone is that I can set an alarm a couple of hours after I should wake, and the phone (trying not to fully charge until the alarm time) never charges overnight above 80%

An extinguisher that can actually handle Lithium fires though. A regular CO2 extinguisher wont do anything against burning Lithium

Honestly, don’t bother with an extinguisher. The best solution is to put it in a bucket of sand on a concrete floor or something. It’s probably safer to just let it burn out than to try to fight the fire.
