Will my fire extinguisher expire?

• <div><p>Yes, fire extinguishers eventually expire. However, the good news is that a properly stored fire extinguisher can last a decade or longer. They don’t have an expiration date on the canister, but you can check the manufacturing date on the “UL” nameplate near the classification information. Maintenance will also give your fire extinguisher longevity. Check the gauge at the top of the extinguisher every month. You'll want to make sure the gauge needle is in the green section, and if a hose or nozzle has been used or damaged, you need to replace it.</p></div>

Q: Are USB/USB-C outlets fire hazards?

• <div><p>Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-prevent-electrical-fires.htm">electrical fire hazard</a>, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to fireproof a door?

• <div><p>You can fireproof an existing door to some extent, but it's better to remove the old door and replace it with a fire-rated model. Anything dealing with extreme heat needs rigorous testing and a door you DIY fireproof will not undergo the same safety measures as a premade one. Consider a door with a rating of at least 30 minutes or more in residential areas. </p></div>

Q: Can I use water to put out a fire in my fireplace?

• <div><p>You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher&mdash;and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.</p></div>

Q: Are smoke detectors hardwired in?

• <div><p>Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home&rsquo;s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.</p></div>
