    Hi there! Yes, that is correct. There are options such as Fire Prevention and Education that do not have the same eyesight requirements - we recommend looking into those if interested. Best of luck!

    While this is not something that Pickering Fire Services can help with, fire extinguishers can be serviced by private fire protection companies. We recommend looking online to find a company nearby.

    Brianna asked about 1 year ago

    Pickering Fire has a large variety of tools and equipment, depending on the type of situation. For suppression activities, our main tools include our fire truck, which allows us to get water, the house, and nozzle, to spray the water onto the fire. We use a variety of tools from hydraulics to small hand tools. We also have equipment for water, ice, high angle, and vehicle rescues.

    How do I determine if my fire extinguishers are still good? There are no tags or dates on the units.

    diane ferns asked 12 months ago

    Fire extinguishers for home use are good for approximately 10 years. The date can be found in a few locations - some are stamped on the bottom of the cylinder, and others have the date written on the label!
