How sad is this? Just days before school is supposed to start vandals strike the same school twice in two days. This follows vandalism at another school in the district that resulted in $50,000 in damage.
Of course, fire extinguishers were used in each case. The school is now installing cameras. Another good option would be en-Gauge electronically monitored fire extinguishers. When done, security and law enforcement officials could be immediately notified when an extinguisher was removed -- perhaps allowing for the vandals to be caught in the act.
Electronic monitoring of fire extinguishers and annual safety inspections make schools safer.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. And that was the case at a Houston Hospital. Fortunately the fire was put out with an extinguisher before anyone was hurt. It's a good thing the extinguisher was acccessible and ready to use so that there was no significant damage or worse, loss of life.
Vandals are at it again. Breaking into a school and setting off fire extinguishers. A fire alarm also went off causing the fire department to respond, despite the fact there was no fire. Electronically monitored fire extinguishers would have notified authorities when an extinguisher was removed perhaps helping the police catch the vandals in the act.
