FAQ'S ABOUT FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

HOW OFTEN DO MY FIRE EXTINGUISHERS NEED TO BE SERVICED?

Fire extinguishers should be checked on a monthly basis to be certain they are in working order.  Fire extinguisher service is required to be performed annually.

WHAT TYPE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS DO I NEED?

There are several sizes and types of fire extinguishers available today, all of which are designed for different fire conditions.  Our trained professionals can assess potential hazards and assist you in making the best choice in fire extinguisher size, selection, and placement.

HOW LONG ARE MY FIRE EXTINGUISHERS GOOD FOR?

By undergoing maintenance procedures, fire extinguishers can generally be kept in operation for many years.  For example, a dry chemical ABC type fire extinguisher requires a recharge every 6 years and a hydro test every 12 years, after the date of manufacture.

SHOULD I BUY MY FIRE EXTINGUISHER FROM THE STORE?

Fire extinguishers purchased from the big-box stores tend to be made of lesser quality and seldom offer the reliability of a unit purchased from a fire extinguisher company.  In addition, by purchasing from a fire extinguisher company you'll receive; a reminder of when the next service is due, a trained technician able to install and determine placement of the fire extinguisher, and in case of use we'll have the necessary parts to return the fire extinguisher to working condition.
