Fire extinguisher
This is one item that, when you need it, you really need it, so you can’t afford to slip up on inspecting or replacing it. The National Fire Protection Agency reports that most extinguishers should be inspected at least every six years. Keep in mind there are two types of extinguishers: rechargeable and disposable. Rechargeable ones have a gauge that you can check, and when the needle is no longer in the green, it’s time to recharge (typically every six years). Disposable fire extinguishers have a lifespan of about 12 years. This might get you thinking, have you ever checked the gauge on your rechargeable extinguisher? Or if you live in a building with one, has the extinguisher ever been checked or replaced?
