Fire extinguishers

Fire extinguishers must be serviced by a licensed contractor and those used in commercial locations must be serviced and tagged annually.

Never put fire extinguishers in the trash! They contain dangerous chemicals under pressure, and have potential to explode when compacted. Click HERE for information about the disposal of your fire extinguisher.
