The Fire extinguisher signs are designed to inform guests and 1^st respondents of the location of the fire extinguisher in the building or facility at hand.  A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. Many states and municipalities such as NYC, dob hpd and others require building owners to equip compliant facilities with fire extinguishers and post clear signage regarding the location of the fire extinguishers at hand.

Frequently asked questions:

What are fire extinguishers used for? Fire extinguishers are portable or movable apparatuses used to put out small fires by directing onto them substances that cool the burning material, deprive the flame of oxygen, or interfere with the chemical reactions occurring in the flame.

How do fire extinguishers work? Water extinguishers work by removing heat from the fire. Dry chemical extinguishers are tanks of foam or dry powder with compressed nitrogen as the propellant. They work by smothering the fire: when you put a layer of powder or foam on the fire, you cut the fuel off from the oxygen around it, and the fire goes out.

What is a fire extinguisher made of? Most of the elements of a fire extinguisher are made of metal. The pressure vessel is generally made of an aluminum alloy, while the valve can either be steel or plastic. Other components, such as the actuating handle, safety pins, and mounting bracket, are typically made of steel.

When should you use fire extinguishers? You should only consider using a fire extinguisher if all members of your home have been alerted of the fire at hand. Make sure you are safe from smoke and that the fire is not between you and your only escape route

Do we need fire extinguishers in our room/building/apartment/unit/facility? Regulations state that a minimum of two Class A fire extinguishers on every floor of a building are needed, unless the premises are very small, in which case one may be acceptable.

What is refilling of fire extinguishers? The refilling or recharging process of a fire extinguisher involves refilling it with the fire extinguishing agent it uses. In some cases refilling also means emptying the remaining agent and filling it again.
