Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are required at all PNWBA competitions, whether or not the local fire code for the event location requires them. At a minimum, fire extinguishers MUST be rated 2A40BC or 3A40BC.

Fire extinguishers MUST be current.
To be current, fire extinguishers must:

  1. Have been purchased within the last year with receipt proof of purchase
  2. Have been Serviced / certified within the last year with proof of service tag
  3. Have the needle in the green on the gauge.

Remember - just because it has been less than a year since the extinguisher was serviced / purchased, it still may be out of a charge.
