Scope of work:

• Perform annual and monthly inspections of fire extinguishers.

To aid with the monthly inspections of the 8,700 extinguishers, the Fire Extinguisher Program employs a staff of college students through the “Student Extinguisher Inspection Program”. The students are able to set their work schedule around their class schedule and other school commitments. The inspections are performed using a small handheld device that allows for easy tracking of extinguishers checked.
