Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers are generally the first line of defense when a fire breaks out at your workplace.
Anytime you detect a fire, or just the first signs of fire, you should alert your local fire department immediately.
But until help arrives, a full, properly maintained fire extinguisher can help minimize damage to your business and injury to your employees or customers.
