Fire Extinguisher in Fourplex

[Steve Weinstein]

So I am having some work done in my 4 Plex in South Florida.  My GC is telling me that I should get a fire extinguisher for each duplex since I have an inspection with the city coming up.  Anybody here have experience with this?  Or has anybody not passed an inspection because they did not have a fire extinguisher on the property?

I put a fire extinguisher inside each unit, usually mounted in or near the kitchen sink base cabinet.  They're about $20 each.

I think it's really cheap insurance against property damage or, God forbid, loss of life.  The city does not require me to do this, but I feel it's another way to protect my investment  and/or my business from loss or liability.
