Mark your calendars for the next Downtown fire extinguisher inspection day on Tuesday, October 7, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. DOPP schedules with a local safety company twice each year to provide fire extinguisher inspections for Downtown businesses and the public, saving you that costly "trip fee."

The event was initiated five years ago by DOPP's safety task force, who were seeking ways to minimize fire risk in Downtown.

Simply take your extinguisher(s) to their testing station under the Farmers' Market pavilion anytime from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a quick inspection. They will accept cash, check or credit card.

Inspection per tank - $3.50

6-year maintenance for 5 lb. tank - $14.50

6-year maintenance for 10 lb. tank - $16.50

Hydro test for tanks 12 years and older - $12.95  

New extinguishers will be available for purchase, as well.
