Fire Extinguishers

Extinguishers in all shapes, sizes and types

Fire extinguishers must be properly installed and maintained. The Ontario Fire Code requires that all fire extinguishers be inspected monthly. The extinguisher tag must show a record of the monthly inspections unless an approved recording keeping system is in use.

Pressurized-water extinguishers must be hydrostatically test once every five years. Dry-chemical extinguishers must be hydrostatically tested every twelve years and have a six-year maintenance service done in between that.
