Fire Extinguisher Check!

I was in my TM today and decided to check to see if the fire extinguisher is still current.

Mine is located inside by the TM door and is a dry powder extinguisher that is made by Kidd. The instructions say to look for the mfg date on the extinguisher and it should be good for 12 years from that mfg date.

My TM is a 2008 and the mfg date on the extinguisher is 2007 so I guess mine should be good for another 7 years. There is no gauge but as long as the little yellow button refuses to push in and stay, it is supposed to be good.

Elsewhere here, a fellow TM'er reported a small fire that he was able to put out before serious damage. Recently, at a campground, I saw an expensive coach that was a burned out shell. Campground staff said fire started behind refrigerator and that everyone got out alive but with nothing except the toad.

I also travel with an extra ABC extinguisher - just in case. Be safe.
