Fire extinguisher requirement?
Good evening everyone !
Today during a walk through, the question was asked if a fire extinguisher is required with this 400 gal slide in Vaccum unit utilized to vaccuum porta John's.
I've never seen or heard of fire extinguishers required for such units , if the answer is yes; why?
Maritime environment (1915)
Appreciate the help !

If there’s a potential fire risk, you should have one according to Osha
The NFPA will tell you that 75 foot for any potential flammable source should have a fire extinguisher for the source
With the unit like this, you also might have a fire potential from electrical faults
If you don’t believe in any of these, you can always check with your insurance provider however, I work with global and I can guarantee they would require one within the area
But I’ve been wrong before let’s see what Drew has to say lol
