Fire Extinguisher

Fire extinguishers are classified and rated by fire type, A, B and C. These classifications
identify the kinds of fires or burning materials they are designed to fight.
Class A - Solid materials such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber and some plastics.
Class B - Liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene or other flammable
liquids.
Class C - Electrical such as electrical wires or other live electrical equipment.
A dry chemical fire extinguisher has been installed by the entrance door. It is suitable for
extinguishing small fires of the Class B or C type only.
We suggest you become thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions displayed on the
side of the fire extinguisher.
NOTE: For information on how to use your fire extinguisher, refer to
the fire extinguisher user's manual
Inspection and maintenance
Read and follow all instructions on the label and user's manual provided by the fire
extinguisher manufacturer.
Inspect the extinguisher at least once a week (more frequently if it is exposed to weather
or possible tampering). This should also be done before beginning a vacation or during
an extended trip.
Do not check the pressure, test or practice using the fire extinguisher by
squeezing the trigger, even briefly. The fire extinguisher is not rechargeable or
refillable. Once used, it will gradually lose pressure and will not be fully
charged for use in an emergency.
Do not turn the electrical power back on or plug in any appliances after the use
of a fire extinguisher. Please refer to the fire extinguisher's user manual for
further instructions on maintenance and clean up.
Smoke Alarm
The smoke alarm will only work properly if it is operational and maintained. They have a
limited life and will wear out over time. Immediately replace the detector if it is not working
properly, if it displays any type of problem, or within five years of use. Be sure to read,
understand and follow the information provided by the smoke alarm manufacturer,
including information on the limited life of smoke alarms.
