RECHARGE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY USE
Fire extinguishers are under stored pressure over time valve assemblies, gaskets, seals, o-rings, collars, ring pins, chains, lock wire seals or the extinguisher cylinder will wear out, crack, leak out stored pressure contents, have failure, freeze or become damaged over time. One of the reasons why there are monthly & annual inspections for fire extinguisher service or the recharge and refill of portable, fixed or wheeled unit fire extinguishers in West Sacramento, California.
Once the fire extinguisher has been used it should be refilled and recharged.
