Title: Fire Extinguishers 101
Post by: Gary Hatt - Publisher BCM on February 06, 2025, 07:13:31 AM



In the June 2015 issue of BCM, I highlighted the importance of reviewing fire extinguisher protection in your bus conversion, emphasizing the need for high-quality, reliable extinguishers.

Since then, a major recall of approximately 40 million fire extinguishers has drawn attention to this crucial safety concern once again. In this article, I revisit the topic, focusing on the essential features of an effective fire extinguisher and why smaller, lightweight models may not provide sufficient protection.

Additionally, I offer practical advice on maintaining your fire extinguisher to ensure it is always ready when you need it the most, especially in remote areas where help may be far away.
