Fire Safety

The fire marshal doesn't ask if you checked. They ask for the log.

NFPA 10 requires a monthly visual check on every portable extinguisher — and when the fire marshal or your insurer asks for proof, they want the log, not your word. Cover charge, seal, and condition on every unit in under two minutes, and the timestamped record is already done.
