Have a charged water hose and several fire extinguishers handy at
all times when working in the shop.
Having the walls and ceiling of the garage shop drywalled is a very
good thing. Same with keeping the floor clean of flammable debris.
Don't stop welding or grinding and immediately run inside the house
- you wait a few minutes to make sure nothing starts smoldering.
If you jump on a fire while it's small you can put it out yourself.
If it gets as well established as in the pictures before you do
anything about it you are screwed - get everyone out of the house,
call 911, get out the lawn chairs and marshmallows, and let the FD
handle it.
