Dont waste your time or energy KMitch200......this character has a history of slamming the fire service....has some kinda chip on his shoulder .... not to mention he’s an expert on the subject matter in his own mind.

Hmm, I completely glossed over that. But I'll hold off on commenting to avoid going off topic and getting a useful thread locked.

Might want to mention to your expert buddy that CO2 extinguishers don't have gauges.

I have a couple of those here, that have been totally ignored for 10-15 years. I'm sure they're as settled as they can possibly be.

At what point do we just mark them off as unusable, and what's the right way to dispose of them?



Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

Is the pressure still reading good on the gauge? If so just do what 10X said and you're fine.

If not contact either your FD to see if they'll take them or your DPW or town dump.
