Fire Extinguishers

A fire extinguisher is a portable device designed to extinguish or control small fires. Its primary purpose is to provide individuals with a means to quickly respond to a fire emergency, helping to prevent a small fire from escalating into a larger, uncontrollable blaze. Fire extinguishers can be filled with various substances, such as water, foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide, which are effective against specific types of fires.

UniFire will sell, inspect, and repair most fire extinguishers. The purpose of fire extinguisher inspection is to ensure that fire extinguishers are in proper working order and ready for use in the event of a fire emergency. Regular inspections help identify any issues or defects that could impair the effectiveness of the extinguisher. Here are the key purposes of fire extinguisher inspections:


1. Safety Assurance: Ensures that the fire extinguisher is functional and can be relied upon during an emergency, helping to protect lives and property.

2. Compliance: Meeting legal requirements and fire safety regulations. Many jurisdictions have laws mandating regular inspections and maintenance.

3. Detection of Issues: Identifying and addressing potential problems, such as low pressure, outdated equipment, or physical damage, which could render the extinguisher ineffective.

4. Recharging and Maintenance: Assuring that extinguishers are properly charged and maintained, including refilling when necessary and replacing them as needed.

5. Record Keeping: Keeping accurate records of inspections and maintenance activities for accountability and future reference.



Regular inspections are essential to ensure that fire extinguishers remain effective tools for fire safety and can perform as expected during emergencies.
