 Inspections: Fire Extinguishers  
   

An annual comprehensive inspection is facilitated by a qualified vendor working at the direction of Falcon Fire Sprinkler Company.  As part of the inspection, a colored tag is installed by the vendor, signed and dated.  A different color is used for each year.

A monthly "cursory" inspection is also required for all fire extinguishers.  Normally custodial personnel complete this inspection.  In areas not serviced by custodians Falcon Fire Sprinkler Company can help.

For your information, the monthly cursory inspection includes the following items:

bullet
Located in its designated location
