New Hampshire Employs Electronically Monitored Fire Extinguishers
All 46 fire extinguishers in the New Hampshire State House complex in Concord, NH are now electronically monitored. The New Hampshire State House is the first State House in the U.S. to install the safety devices, which were donated at a value of more than $20,000.
The technology to electronically monitor fire extinguishers is fully recognized by the 2007 editions of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes NFPA-10 and NFPA-72, and the 2006 International Fire Code as an alternative to the requirement for monthly physical inspections of fire extinguishers. It is also listed with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
