Maybe I'm misremembering, but do most luxury stores have fire extinguishers visible to customers (as opposed to staff)? I don't remember seeing them

  I don't recall Coach bags catching fire[1] though.

    They don't use fire extinguishers for lithium battery fires though (as the article mentioned: submerging it in special sand).
    I wonder if it would actually be a negative if a member of the public grabbed a visible extinguisher during a battery fire?
