The Portable Fire Extinguisher

A fire extinguisher can be your first line of defense in a hazardous situation. While notification of your local fire department as soon as a fire is discovered is highly recommended, many fires are small at the point of origin and can be extinguished by a portable fire extinguisher. The proper use and maintenance of fire extinguishers is an important fire protection practice for commercial, government, and industrial places. Optimum Fire & Security experts are trained and certified in the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 10 standards for portable fire extinguishers and can advise you on the proper use, type, and operation in your office, or industrial workplace.
