Show All Answers
1.
Should I have a fire extinguisher in my home?
Fire extinguishers are not required in a residence, but are a good idea. If you have an extinguisher, it should be placed where it is easily accessible, on the wall. There is no mandate for servicing fire extinguishers in a single family home.
2.
What type of fire extinguisher should I purchase for my home and how will I know how to use it properly?
To find out what type of extinguisher to purchase, and how to use it properly, gather instructions on choice-making, fire classes, extinguisher sizes, installation, maintenance, and more on
our informative page.
3.
How can I get my business' fire extinguisher serviced?
Check the yellow pages or an internet search engine (area specific) for a fire extinguisher maintenance company to make the necessary arrangements and establish a schedule.
4.
Where are fire extinguishers placed in a commercial building?
The general rule for commercial buildings, with no special hazard classification, is an extinguisher with a 2A:10BC rating placed within 75 feet travel distance to another area. Fire extinguishers should be placed between the hazard and the exit. For smaller businesses, the best placement is adjacent to the exit door.
