A primary defence when a fire breaks out are portable fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers are manufactured, pressurised and primed in compliance with AS1852-2012 section 10. A type of fire extinguisher is placed for emergencies depending on the kind of environment.
Portable Fire extinguishers are serviced to check for corrosions, defects in pressure gauge and cylinder lining, displacements of the chemical in the cylinder and nature of the location.
