Any time you use your fire extinguisher, it will need to be refilled or recharged before you can use it again. Fire extinguishers must also be recharged occasionally as part of their regular maintenance routine. Having your extinguisher refilled and serviced by a trained fire safety professional is best. If you choose to refill your fire extinguisher, follow the guidelines in your owner’s manual very carefully to ensure your extinguisher functions safely.

When you should refill your fire extinguisher:
There are two occasions when you will need to refill your fire extinguisher:

1. After every use: You must recharge your extinguisher after each use, even if the inside extinguishing powder of the cylinder was not completely discharged. Your extinguisher will still need proper refilling and maintenance after the use.

2. Time-to-time: Fire extinguishers will need to refill from time-to-time throughout their life because the inside powder of the fire extinguisher expires after a particular period. So, you will need to refill the fire extinguisher.
