Nothing pisses me off more than those who do not do their jobs especially when it comes to life safety equipment inspections.
I was recently at an Oil Customers Warehouse in Warren County Pa. when I witnessed a Fire Extinguisher Tech who owns the company and is a volunteer fire chief do whats known as a Rag and Tag
Where he just changes the tag on an extinguisher and never checks it.
This is 2nd time I have caught a fire official who owns their own company doing this First time was Fire Marshal who covered 3 different towns doing it at my customers in Allegheny County.
Both of these facility's it is critical to check extinguisher for leaks ,rust and blocked hoses because of spiders webs getting in them.
and once again rules where not followed . The tech never even bothered to wipe them off and one was in need of recharge
Well needless to say this latest company will be doing no further work for my customer.
and since this is rural Pa. there is no one to complain to who can or will do anything about it.
Pa. needs a real Fire Marshal with real teeth not a fire Official with no powers.
