Question: 1 / 400

When must a dry chemical fire extinguisher be recharged?

After each use

A dry chemical fire extinguisher must be recharged after each use to ensure that it is fully operational for future incidents. When the extinguisher is deployed, the dry chemical agent used to suppress the fire is discharged, and its effectiveness is compromised. Even if the extinguisher appears to be partially full, the contents may have been impaired and can lead to insufficient firefighting capability. For optimal preparedness and safety, it is essential to have the extinguisher recharged by a qualified professional once it has been used, allowing you to rely on it in an emergency situation. The other options related to recharging intervals are not standard practices in fire safety management.
