How often do you check your fire extinguisher? Have you ever checked your fire extinguisher? It is on my check list; I check mine before every trip. Last trip (October 2) the fire extinguisher on my 2015 179 was fine. Leaving tomorrow for another trip. Checked the fire extinguisher this morning & it had no pressure. So I'll go to Wally World tonight. I sure would hate to find myself in a situation where I needed a fire extinguisher & it failed!! ------------- Rob & Becky 2014 Ford Explorer 3.5 SOHC V6 2015 R-179 Pod aka Piddle Pod "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain!!" |

We do check ours before every trip, it is on our checklist. Still shows ok pressure and it was purchased in March 2011.

Our original is still passing the push test, but I replaced it a couple years ago with one about twice as big.

Like furpod, go big or go home for extinguishers. I have multiple large extinguishers around the house, and one in 2 of our vehicles. Don't forget a smoke alarm in each bedroom and in the hallway of each level of your house. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
