THE CHINA MAIL, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1950.

Hints on care of fire extinguishers.

Portable fire extinguishers on premises need fre- quent testing and periodic ` re-charging." Unless the extinguishers are looked after carefully, they may be useless when a fire breaks out.

Here are some notes regarding care and mainten- ance of portable fire extinguishers issued by the Fire Offices Committee Fire Protection Association in London:

Portable fire appliances should not be removed from their 'al- lotted positions. The provision of brackets, shelves or base blocks will help to make it evident when any are missing from their pro-} per places.

ro-

USD

Extinguishers should be charged immediately after and one refill for every extingui- sher should be kept always avali- able for this purpose.

13

Inspection and leating by the manufacturers or other qualified persone is recommended, periodical reconditioning and pressure-testing of the outer con- taliters can then be included, The date of inspection should be indelibly recorded on a label securely attached to the ex- tinguisher.

Water (za expelled) extin- guishers require the same gen cral maintenance and periodical discharge as the soda "acld ex- tinguishers. Where the CO2 gru is stored as a liquid under high pressure the cylinder needs in- spection every five years.
