Fire extinguishers locations and refills

  • Corridors of academic and office buildings and inside very large rooms
  • In or immediately outside of all laboratories where chemicals are stored or used.
  • In or immediately outside mechanical spaces where equipment is present that might cause a fire.
  • In storage buildings and mounted inside certain University vehicles
Used an extinguisher 

Place a work order with Physical Plant Work Management  We want full extinguishers at all campus locations. Most extinguishers will not hold a charge after partial use. While the gauge may hold steady in the green immediately after a slight use, check it the next day and you’ll find the gauge on EMPTY! This is because upon use the dry powder gets inside the seals and allows the nitrogen carrier to escape over a period of time. After ANY use, a fire extinguisher must be serviced and recharged. YOU MUST HAVE THE EXTINGUISHER REFILLED AFTER ANY USE.

Pests or animal trouble

Place a work order on the Environmental & Occupational Safety website or call us at (229) 293-6171.
