Portable Fire Extinguishers
The proper use of portable fire extinguishers can extinguish many fires while still small. However, you should be aware that New York City Fire Department (F.D.N.Y) should be notified without delay as soon as any fire is discovered.
The F.D.N.Y regulates the number, type, and placement of fire extinguisher tags required for any building. It’s important to keep in mind that the successful use of portable fire extinguishers depends on the following:
- Portable fire extinguishers are properly located and in working order.
- Fire extinguishers are of the correct type
- When a fire is discovered while still small enough for the use of the portable fire extinguishers to be effective
- Fire is discovered by persons who are ready, willing, and able to use the fire extinguisher
