Default Fire Extinguishers - when need to replace?

Sounds like good counsell. I have a couple FE in my
home, and at least one in each of the two vehicles.

Interesting you should ask, today. I had an old
pressurized water unit, which had been in storage
for about twenty years (at least since 1986). Today
a friend and I discharged it. Worked fine.

I asked a local Fire Captain ( I know) about this. His answer was if
the gauge still shows green the FE was still good.

Do not tamper with the trigger.

One is not enough in a home.

Sample placements:
