For starters I am going to talk just a little about the several types of fire extinguishers, and the color coding system. That directly plays in to whenever you need fire extinguisher servicing, but a good rule of thumb is the fact that you should have a full service accomplished once per year. This is in fact a legal requirement for businesses. Fires are classified in to five groups The very first group is Class A: This class includes organic materials such as, paper, wood, textiles, and clothing material The other group is Class B: This class is for flammable Liquids for example gasoline The third group is Class C: This class is for flammable Gasses, for example acetylene, hydrogen, as well as other gasses The 4th class is class D: This class if for fires involving flammable metals There's a new class F: This class is for fires involving cooking grease, as well as other liquids like it Now that you know just a little about how the classes of fire extinguishers are setup, it should make a bit more sense to you to do your fire extinguisher servicing yearly. As I said above; you are required to do this annually. Fire extinguisher servicing will give you reassurance. In a business you are required to have an extinguisher present on the premises at all times. Regular fire extinguisher servicing will guarantee that your equipment is in proper working order.
