• Ensure the extinguisher is visible, unobstructed, and in its designated location. In your home, ensure it’s in a location accessible to you and your family. Never attempt to fight a large fire. The extinguishers are designed to suppress incipient or small fires if it is safe to do so.
• Verify the locking pin is intact and the tamper seal is unbroken.
• Examine the extinguisher for physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or clogged nozzle.
• Confirm the pressure gauge or indicator is in the operable range or position.
• Make sure the operating instructions are legible and facing outward.
• Turn the extinguisher upside down to move the dry chemical around. This stops the extinguishing agent from hardening at the base.
• Initial and date the service tag.
• Ensure the tag is secured to the unit.
• Check the last professional service date on the tag. (A licensed fire extinguisher maintenance contractor must have inspected the extinguisher within the past 12 months.)
Note: A-B-C fire extinguishers can be used to extinguish various types of common fires. If the extinguisher shows any signs of corrosion, dents, damage, or leaks, remove and replace the device.
