fire extinguisher check

Pressure gauge reading

A fire extinguisher check is a routine inspection to verify that a fire extinguisher is accessible, properly charged, and ready for use.

Building codes typically require monthly visual checks and annual professional inspections.

The check confirms the pressure gauge is in the green zone, the pin and seal are intact, and no physical damage is present: We do fire extinguisher checks on the first of every month.
