Which extinguishers are inspected under NSPIRE?

• A. Owner fire extinguishers
• B. Tenant fire extinguishers
• C. Both owner and tenant
• D. No extinguishers inspected

Answer: (A)

NSPIRE inspections focus on safety features that the property owner is responsible for maintaining. Fire extinguishers fall under the owner’s duties to equip, service, and ensure accessibility and operability across the property. The inspector verifies that extinguishers provided by the owner are present, properly mounted or located, accessible, and serviced as required. Tenants’ personal extinguishers are not part of the property’s safety assessment, since NSPIRE looks at the facility and its built-in safety provisions rather than personal belongings. Therefore, the extinguishers inspected under NSPIRE are the owner’s extinguishers.
