How to do it

Step by step

  1. Check the gauge on each extinguisher. Needle in the green.
  2. Mount one in the kitchen and one in the garage.
  3. Pack water, food, meds, copies of documents, chargers and cash.
  4. Sign up for SD Emergency alerts at AlertSanDiego.
When to call a pro: Extinguishers over 12 years old or with a low gauge: replace them.
