Myth: If my extinguisher looks fine, it must be fine.
Fact: Many of the problems that stop an extinguisher from working can’t be seen from the outside.
An extinguisher can sit on the wall looking perfectly good while it slowly loses pressure, a hose or seal perishes, or the contents settle and compact over time. When it’s been in the same spot for years, wear and damage are easy to overlook too.
That’s why commercial extinguishers need regular inspection and maintenance. A quick visual check between services is a good habit, but it isn’t a substitute.
Fireco services and supplies fire extinguishers for businesses across Northland and Auckland, so you know yours are ready when it matters.
