FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION

Fire Extinguisher Inspections involve the monthly checking Fire Extinguishers to insure that the fire extinguishers are not discharged and have not leaked down, that the fire extinguisher is secure and not falling due to being hung poorly or a wall bracket being displaced, that the tamper seals are in place, that the pull pin is intact and has not become dislodged, that there is no obvious damage to the fire extinguisher externally, and most importantly that the fire extinguisher is where it belongs. This fire extinguisher inspection is the responsibility of the owner or management of the building or facility.


It is also a good idea to insure that there is a Fire Extinguisher sign placed so it can be seen from a reasonable distance by anybody occupying the building or location in which the fire extinguisher is located. Upon each fire extinguisher inspection the person performing the inspection should check that the fire extinguisher sign is still intact, in place and legible.


The following is a general guideline for maintenance persons, managers, owners, and others who want to know what to look for when inspecting fire extinguishers. In addition to this monthly inspection that is the responsibility of the owner of the fire extinguisher per fire code NFPA 10, the fire extinguisher must also be properly serviced annually by a professional licensed Fire Protection Company.

  5. Make sure that there is a plastic tamper seal intact and holding the fire extinguisher pin in place.

  7. Look at the fire extinguisher exterior to make sure that it does not contain any large or deep rust, or dents.
