Time to check your fire extinguishers
With the holidays rapidly approaching, meaning the greater use of fireplaces, matches, candles, stoves, cook tops, ovens, and heaters, it's time to make sure you have a working fire extinguisher in your home and, if you're in a condominium community, at least one on the exterior wall of each building.
Not only should you have one in your home and/or on the exterior wall, you should actually know where it is and how to work it. Is it in some closet somewhere? Is it behind the bushes where you can't see it or get to it?
Fire extinguishers should also be inspected/tested/recharged each year. If you haven't done that since last year's holiday season, it's time to do that, too!
Look at the picture of the fire extinguisher tab below. That's the inspection tag.
The last time this fire extinguisher was inspected was July 7, 2009. There is a punch next to Annual Maintenance Performed, which means that this thing really does need to be inspected annually.
If you live in a condominium community, remind your HOA to have the fire extinguishers checked. Too many HOAs are negligent when it comes to ensuring that their fire extinguishers are ready to use if required.
