About fire extinguishers.... I worked in a building once that routinely had a fire extinguisher company come through and recertify the fire extinguishers. It was something like, every 6 months. After a while, I finally asked the guy what they did to "recertify" to meet fire marshal codes and such. He said, all we do is take them off their hooks, turn them upside down twice, and hang them back up.
REALLY?
He said, the problem with fire extinguishers is that the chemicals inside settle to the bottom and then harden. All you have to do is shake it up every so often.
REALLY?
All the time I worked there (6 years), not a single fire extinguisher was replaced with a new one.
REALLY?
Yep. So, in all my campers, I've done the same thing with my fire extinguishers.
Really!
