[Fot] Fire bottles

[Rocky Entriken]

Look for a business whose purpose is fire and rescue services. Most towns of any size have one, maybe several (my city of 40,000 has two; I’ve used them both). Certifying (and refilling if needed) firebottles is their stock-in-trade. No “send to Florida!”. My local ones do it for <$100. 

And once when I was looking for some plexiglass to use for a windscreen, it was the fire services business that had it!

To all on FOT-  I just had my Fire Bottle re certified without having to send it down to Florida ( a big hassle!).  I found a guy in the Delmarva area whom was granted the ability to do the re certification process by coming out to you.  I helped him ( I didn't do much actually) to be able to provide this service, and I was his first customer.  His name is Bob Nicewander and his company is called Safeline Fire and Life Safety Solutions. A nice guy as well. He will come to your car and make sure the system is intact and check the Fire Bottle for $149.00 if you're within a hour from him here in Maryland (he is in Aberdeen, MD). He would work out a price if you are farther away. I think it's worth the money since I believe it would be at least that much to ship the bottle to Florida and have it done.  He just needs some information (date of manufacture of the bottle/date of expiration, etc) and a picture of the bottle/label as well. If the bottle is over six years old it cannot be re certified, and it needs to be done every two years (according to the Fire Bottle Company in Florida).   It may be something those of you in the area may be interested in.  Just thought I would put it out there.
