December 2005 - Fire marshals led the charge to change inspection requirements for electronically monitored fire extinguishers from once-a-year to once-every-three years. The International Code Council - whose fire code is used by many state and local municipalities--approved the change at its annual conference this fall in Detroit.
Over a three-year period, end users will save about $70 per extinguisher, which can add up in venues such as schools that have many fire extinguishers.
