Past Event

Fire Extinguisher Refresh 2023

May 2023 the PCERT Core Team held a Fire Extinguisher Refresh event coordinating with a local company allowing residents to: 1) recharge existing 5lb fire extinguishers for a fee of $15 each, and 2) purchase a new 5lb 2A10BC rated fire extinguisher for $69 each paid fully to the local company. 

 

For this event PCERT:

  • collected resident fire extinguishers

  • took orders to recharge and purchase extinguishers

  • transported the fire extinguishers to and from the local company

  • made payment, collected reimbursement and returned extinguishers to residents

  • provided instruction on use and care of fire extinguishers

​

A successful event!
