The two Mini-CAF Extinguisher units needs to have components tested and inspected to bring them into compliance with safety standards. Thank you to B-shift for doing the research on these units and building a manual for us to become familiar with them. These are maintenance intensive $1,600 units that were purchased several years ago for the Command Officer to keep in the Command Vehicles. They are a cool little unit that may cause someone to take on a fire somewhat more aggressively than is prudent. When combined with a lack of maintenance that could be bad. One of the units has not been in service since a care fire on January 1. It has languished in the shop ever since. I bear some responsibility for not personally following up on that.
Please take some time to look at the manual and familiarize yourself with the units. Obviously these things don’t fix themselves. You too may be asked to restore a unit to service some day. With the right access to information and proper follow up and follow through we can gitter done. Repair and maintenance is a team sport around here and good communication is required. When these units are properly tested I will add them to the extinguisher database and return them to service. Thank you.
