WHY ARE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ESSENTIAL?
Fire extinguishers are essential for the following reasons—
-
Instant response: They can be quickly used during a fire emergency, as they can easily control minor fire incidents and are effective immediately. They prevent damages, loss of life, and injuries.
-
Versatile: Fire extinguishers are available in different types depending on the type of fire. This ensures that there are different extinguishers available for each kind of fire.
-
Safety: These extinguishers are used and made to protect you from fire emergencies, which could cause significant damage and affect a person's life. Having a reachable fire extinguisher relieves and helps you deal with potential fire hazards effectively.
-
Emergency: Fire extinguishers are a vital component of emergency preparedness plans. They empower individuals to take immediate action in a fire emergency, potentially saving lives and minimizing disruption.
MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Maintaining fire extinguishers is essential to ensuring they work efficiently during emergencies. Here are some tips for keeping your fire extinguishers well-maintained.
-
Thorough inspection: Thorough inspection of your fire extinguisher in frequent intervals is essential to ensure that it works appropriately in emergencies. Inspection would help acknowledge minor issues that could have become a significant problem if unnoticed.
-
Regular servicing: Getting service from a professional is necessary to enhance the operations of a fire extinguisher. This involves even more comprehensive inspections that test the extinguisher's functionality.
-
Accessible: The extinguisher should be placed in a place that is reachable and accessible. However, this doesn’t mean it should not be obstructed by furniture, equipment, or other objects, as this might affect its utility.
-
Usage: Before using a fire extinguisher, you should be familiar with and know how to use it. Before using it, you are advised to read the instructions carefully.
-
Shake test: Extinguishers include some dry chemicals that must be shaken before use. This prevents the powder from settling and packing, which could affect its ability to discharge correctly.
-
Recharging and Replacement: After any use, even if only partially discharged, recharge the extinguisher immediately. Replace extinguishers that are damaged, expired, or cannot be recharged.
-
Training: It is imperative to train household members and employees on how to use fire extinguishers properly. This ensures better understanding and working with the extinguishers in emergencies.

Regularly clean vents and chimneys for visible dust and stains. Install and operate appliances as per the manufacturer's instructions.

WHY DO I NEED A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR? HOW MANY DETECTORS SHOULD BE INSTALLED?Every home has fuel-burning appliances like a furnace, heater and fireplace. It should have a carbon monoxide detector because all fuel-burning devices emit carbon monoxide. If there is only one carbon monoxide detector, it should be installed in the bedroom or outside the sleeping area. One detector should be installed on every level of the home and in sleeping areas. Do not place the detector near but at least 15 feet away from fuel-burning appliances. Objects should not obstruct the detector unit.
