What You Should Know About Fire Extinguishers
- Use the proper size of fire extinguisher.
- Install extinguishers according to the height requirements stated in Local Bylaw’s Fire Code.

- Make sure that the operating instructions always face outward.
Maintain extinguishers in a fully charged and operable condition. - Keep extinguishers in the designated areas.
- Visually inspect portable fire extinguishers monthly.
- Use a tag on each extinguisher that shows the dates of inspection, recharging or servicing, the name of the servicing agency, and the name of the person who did the service.
