KELOWNA: Annual Fire Extinguisher Inspections

Hi everyone, here is some helpful info on completing required annual fire extinguisher inspections.

Hello,

For those of you who use Canada Safety Equipment Ltd. on St. Paul Street in Kelowna for your annual extinguisher inspection, I wanted to let you know that they will be moving in May or June to 105-171 Commercial Drive in Kelowna.

A reminder that fire extinguishers that are new and up to 6 years can be checked annually for a cost of $10 at this establishment.

Thanks, Margaret Milsom
