By agreeing to periodic fire extinguisher inspection Los Angeles building owners like you make sure your safety equipment is always ready to use at the first sign of fire. Fire extinguishers that are allowed to sit and gather dust often are not useful after so many months of languishing in a cupboard. The foam in them settles to the bottom and no longer sprays with enough force to put out a blaze before it gets out of control.
When you have yours inspected, you ensure they are always ready to use and that the foam in them is actually viable. If the contents of the extinguisher are found to be useless, the inspector can either refill the foam or recommend you get a new extinguisher. He or she will not give you the useless one back to include in your safety equipment.

You may prefer the inspector come to your building for this purpose. In that case, you can sign up with a private inspection company to have your extinguishers and other safety equipment checked regularly.
