To keep your home or workspace prepared to respond to a fire emergency, you must recharge your fire extinguishers. You need to do this once a year and right after using it regardless if it is empty or not. This is important to keep the equipment from malfunctioning.  During the annual inspection, the company will check for any visible damage and refill it with a fire and air protection agent. Regular recharge is crucial to make sure that everyone in the property or establishment is safe from the risk of fire-related injuries and even death.
