| Issue Name | Fire Extinguisher Requirements for Annual Inspections |
| Summary of Issue | Annual inspection of portable fire extinguishers as per NFPA10 for the required emergency equipment for DOT vehicles and inspection tag. |
| Justification or Need | NFPA10 |
| Request for Action | DOT annual vehicle inspection to include the NFPA inspection of the portable fire extinguisher and inspection tag on the it to prove it. The CFR49 AND REQUIRED EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND DRIVER PRE-TRIP INSPECTION DOCUMENTATION MUST BE REVISED TO STATE THESE REQUIREMENTS. Thank you, |
| Action Taken by Committee | The committee briefly discussed the fact that fire extinguishers are not currently part of Appendix A for annual inspections, and there is no requirement in the regulation for NFPA10 fire extinguishers. CVSA does not create regulation, so if the issuer wants something added to the regulation, it is suggested that they petition the agency for the added requirement. There was no motion put forward and the issue was closed. |
