Have a fire extinguisher in your home?

Here are some things to check regularly to ensure it will be working properly if and when you need it.

-Check the pressure gauge monthly. (The pressure gauge needle needs to be in the green area)
-Check if your extinguisher has corrosion or rust.
-Check the hose and nozzle for cracks and rips.
-Check to see if the locking pin on the handle is missing or unsealed.
-Check the inspection sticker.

Replace or service your extinguisher if it has been used.
