Fire Extinguisher Inspections
Routine inspection and maintenance will ensure that your extinguisher is ready to use in case of an emergency.
How Often Do Fire Extinguishers Need to Be Inspected?
Residential fire extinguishers require inspections and/or maintenance to ensure proper operation. Check the extinguisher's label or user manual to see how often an inspection or maintenance is recommended. Commercial fire extinguishers typically have monthly, annual, and 6-year inspection and maintenance intervals.
Fire extinguishers should be visually inspected once a month to ensure they are ready for use in the event of a fire. Look for leaks, dents, or corrosion, and check that the pressure gauge indicator is in the green zone.
If you're unsure of where to service or recharge your fire extinguishers, contact your local fire department for assistance.
