Fire Extinguishers

It is essential to have the proper tools to protect yourself, home, and business from fire.

While fire sprinklers cut the risk of house fire deaths by about 80%, and fire alarms cut the risk by 50%, there are other devices you should also have in place to save your life in the event of a fire.

A necessary means of defense is the fire extinguisher. In the event of a fire, your priority should always be to locate an exit, quickly vacate, and call the fire department. However, a fire extinguisher may be needed to assist you when exiting the premise.

Your safety is most important to us. Call USA Fire protection for all your fire extinguisher maintenance needs.
