Grim Fandango Hints
Where can I get a fire extinguisher?
1 of 12: You actually can't take one for yourself.
2 of 12: But you might be able to convince someone else to use one.
3 of 12: Take a look in the kitchen below where Glottis is resting.
4 of 12: The toaster seems to have had some problems recently.
5 of 12: Things that don't belong in a toaster have been catching on fire.
6 of 12: You'll need to make something else catch on fire.
7 of 12: Look for something that's obviously flammable around here.
8 of 12: There's some oil in a jar just outside the kitchen.
9 of 12: And look for a way to transport the oil.
10 of 12: Get a rag out of the drawer of the kitchen.
11 of 12: Then, dip it in oil.
12 of 12: You can now toast the oily rag. This will summon one of the gremlins to come with a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.s
