Fire Extinguishers & Equipment FAQs

How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?

Steel fire extinguishers should have an annual basic service. P50 service-free fire extinguishers require an annual visual check. These inspections include inspecting the gauges, pins, hose, tags, and external condition of the extinguishers and updating the service sticker. In addition, weight checks are completed for steel extinguishers. 

Some types of extinguishers require an extended service every 5 years or an overhaul every 10 years. Read our guide to fire extinguisher servicing frequency for more information.
