It would also be appropriate to purchase a sticker similar to what you often see on commercial vehicles to affix to
the door serving the storage area. The signage also serves to assist SVFD to locate the fire extinguisher during their
annual business inspection routine so that they can confirm it's been serviced. Thanks so much! JRN
