Fire Extinguisher Exchange 2020

CTC Fire Extinguisher Exchange 2020, Feb 19-20
All households must bring their fire extinguisher to the CTC garages on Feb. 19 or 20 to receive a new one.

CTC has the responsibility to keep all of our residents safe, which includes keeping fire extinguishers up to date and fully functioning. As a not-for-profit organization, CTC does not operate with much disposable funding; thus, we need your help to exchange the fire extinguishers in our community in order to keep rent dues as low as possible and redirect as many resources back into the community.

We hire an outside company to make the switch, in which every day of the exchange costs us a significant amount of money for the service. Therefore, to use our resources most efficiently, we need one resident of each household to bring their Fire Extinguisher to trade for a new one on either February 19th or 20th. Meet us at the Community Center garages behind the CTC Office (facing Commonwealth Ave) between 7:30 am - 5:00 pm to receive a new fire extinguisher.


What if I Can't Make the Exchange?

Ask a friend, neighbor, or Ward Rep if they can make the switch for you if no one in your household is able to. The fire extinguisher just needs to be exchanged, it doesn’t matter by who! Ensure you plan ahead if you ask someone else, as you may need to either leave a key to your apartment or give your fire extinguisher to the individual completing the exchange. If it isn't possible for a neighbor or friend to bring your fire extinguisher over, our maintenance staff can take care of it for a small fee.

Where Do I Exchange My Fire Extinguisher?
