Request a consultation
Keep the exit clear
Stop and leave if smoke limits visibility, the fire spreads beyond its original area or the exit is threatened. Tell the responding fire crew what happened.
After use
Arrange inspection and recharging or replacement of a discharged extinguisher according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Include accessibility and pressure checks in routine inspections.
