Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Some Common Questions We've Been Asked Before
How often does a fire extinguisher need to be certified?
Fire extinguishers must be certified annually by a state qualified technician. It is not only required by Code, and by the National Fire Protection Association, but it is also a requirement for most insurance companies.
What is the life of a fire extinguisher?
A fire extinguisher does not expire, as long as it is properly maintained and certified annually. There are two important dates in the life of an extinguisher. The first is the six year anniversary of its manufacture date, when it must be rebuilt as per code. The second is the twelve year anniversary of its manufacture date, when the extinguisher must complete a hydrostatic test (tested under pressure) and be rebuilt.
What size fire extinguisher do I need?
While the majority of cities in Florida require 5 pound extinguishers, the city of Boca Raton requires 10 pound extinguishers.
