Most residential fires happen at night and over half happen in homes without a fire alarm installed properly.

Since fire extinguishers sit unused the majority of the time, it can be hard to know if they are going to be dependable in your time of need. While you may be able to perform small checks yourself, it’s always important to have them inspected once a year by a professional. Every six years, your fire extinguishers will actually need to be subject to a complete internal inspection.
