If you haven’t called your Orlando fire extinguisher service this year, it’s time to get to it! Here are three FAQs to get your mind right.
While the fire extinguishers in your building might not always be top of mind, it’s important to have an Orlando fire extinguisher service you can rely on to ensure you and your occupants are in good hands. Here are three frequently asked questions about this particular service:
How Often Should I Get My Fire Extinguisher Inspected?
For peace of mind and best safety practices, your fire extinguisher should be visually checked monthly by someone in your office. That way, if you find any physical damage or condition that would prevent its operation, you can contact us right away. Otherwise, your fire extinguisher should be inspected and certified annually by a DynaFire Technician.
We also offer 6-year maintenance for stored-pressure fire extinguishers, and 5 and 12-year hydrostatic testing for extinguishers that require a hydrostatic test. In both situations, the fire extinguishers are emptied and subjected to the applicable internal and external examination procedures as detailed in the manufacturer’s service manual and NFPA-10. Needless to say, you can leave the inspecting up to us.
What Happens If I Drop My Fire Extinguisher?
Because fire extinguishers are pressurized vessels, dropping it can damage the integrity of the extinguisher and potentially cause the pickup tube to break, which would deem the equipment unusable. In this instance, it’s best to keep the fire extinguisher in an isolated area and contact your local Orlando fire extinguisher service to inspect the situation.
How Can I Be Sure My Fire Extinguisher Will Work Properly?
There are a couple of small details you can keep in the back of your mind to ensure your fire extinguisher is in good shape. One is checking the pressure gauge to make sure the green zone is in between the red zones. If the indicator appears to be over any red space, you should call for immediate assistance. An alternative method is checking to ensure the safety pin is in place. If you find that it is removed or lost, your fire extinguisher needs to be serviced.
