Most fire extinguishers have a lifespan of 10–12 years. However, annual inspections and proper maintenance are critical to ensuring their effectiveness. If an extinguisher is damaged or fails inspection, it should be replaced immediately.
Fire extinguishers should be visually inspected monthly and professionally serviced annually to ensure they’re in proper working condition and meet safety regulations.
Fire extinguishers are categorized by the types of fires they can handle:
- Class A: For ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth.
- Class B: For flammable liquids such as oil, gasoline, and paint.
- Class C: For electrical fires.
- Class D: For combustible metals.
- Class K: For cooking fires involving grease or oils.
If your extinguishers fail inspection, we’ll recommend the necessary repairs or replacements and ensure your equipment is brought up to standard quickly and efficiently.
Our experts can assess your specific needs and recommend the appropriate types and sizes of fire extinguishers for your business, ensuring complete protection.
Yes, certain types of extinguishers, like water-based ones, can freeze in cold temperatures. For outdoor or unheated spaces, choose extinguishers rated for freezing conditions.
