Equipment you hope you never use
Fire equipment can hang on the wall for years without being touched, which makes it easy to forget about. Pressure can drop, seals can be disturbed and blankets can be damaged without anyone noticing.
In Australia, routine servicing of fire protection equipment is covered by AS 1851, which sets regular inspections, commonly every six months for portable extinguishers, hose reels and fire blankets.
