Residential fire systems are important for keeping homes safe in case of fire. And part of these systems includes fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers are a low-tech way of adding an extra layer of protection against injury from fire. Fire extinguishers need to be replaced every few years. It is not safe to keep an old one around expecting that it will perform when needed. Further, monthly tests of fire extinguishers are a good idea, to make sure they are in proper working order. The time to discover that a fire extinguisher is not working correction is before a fire, not during one. When planning how many fire extinguishers to purchase, consider how many rooms are in the house. It is good to have one per room, so that if a fire breaks out, residents do not have to run from room to room searching for an extinguisher with which to put out the flames.
