How often do I need a new fire extinguisher?

Hyrdostatic Testing is required by Cal Fire to be performed on each portable fire extinguisher every 12 years. This test is important to know if your fire extinguisher is reliable after years of being stagnant. To properly analyze the functionality of your unit, all parts and chemicals are removed from the hydrant. We then pressure test the cylinder under water to prevent any unwanted leaks and to ensure the safety of your employees. After the unit has been tested we then offer our fire extinguisher refill service. Read more about all of the California State Laws regarding Portable Fire Extinguisher Regulations.
