It is essential to have the proper tools to protect yourself, home, and business from fire.
While fire sprinklers cut the risk of house fire deaths by about 80%, and fire alarms cut the risk by 50%, there are other devices you should also have in place to save your life in the event of a fire.
A necessary means of defense is the fire extinguisher. In the event of a fire, your priority should always be to locate an exit, quickly vacate, and call the fire department. However, a fire extinguisher may be needed to assist you when exiting the premise.
Your safety is most important to us. Call USA Fire protection for all your fire extinguisher maintenance needs.
