Funny things, fire extinguishers. A bit like parachutes. Nicely packed, always look good, but will they work if you ever need them, God forbid.
A local firm had an offer on recently. 5 extinguishers checked/refilled if needed for £11.00, so I handed five over, (four from our boat, one from home), all dry powder, all showing 'green' on the gauges. Two, it turns out, had powder that had gone hard. Nothing would have come out if they had been activated.
Easy things to forget, until like I said, you really need them.
