Fire is a very real threat for Australians. We know that they can happen anywhere and at any time, and we know the utter devastation and chaos that fire can bring and how quickly it can rage out of control.
Fire drills, fire alarms, fire engines, fire blankets and fire extinguishers have been part of our collective childhood and adulthood, not to mention fire emergencies plastered on the NEWS every few years.
These days, you won’t enter too many homes or businesses without spotting multiple fire alarms and fire extinguishers, but are you aware that all fire extinguishers have an expiration date? The contents of fire extinguishers can become weak and ineffective over time, meaning that they are unusable in an emergency. So that sense of safety and “it won’t happen to me” could very well be unrealistic and potentially dangerous.
Don’t be caught out by complacency or ignorance, call the professionals and safeguard your home and business. The team at Surge Test and Tag are fully equipped to take care of your fire extinguishers with regular maintenance and inspections. Call Surge Test and Tag on 1300 178 743 to book in your bi-annual extinguisher testing and your 5-yearly extinguisher pressure testing. Both of these tests are pivotal for the health and longevity of your fire extinguishers, and for your own well-being and peace of mind.
Surge Test and Tag will inspect your extinguisher’s signage, accessibility, pressure gauges, safety pin, labels and security tie and will then punch the extinguisher’s service tag for proof of inspection.
Properly maintained fire equipment can help save lives, homes and business. On the flip side though, improperly cared for fire equipment can and has led to loss of property and life. Take the threat of fire seriously and act now. Call Surge Test and Tag today.
