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!
