    logo_sedonafiredistrictSedona AZ (February 24, 2014) – The Sedona Fire Marshal’s Office, in partnership with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is advising the public and all commercial businesses of a voluntary portable fire extinguisher recall.

    This recall involves those fire extinguishers manufactured in Mexico by Kidde, and includes the Kidde XL Fire Extinguishers with model numbers FX340SC, FX340H, FX340GW, XL5MR, FX210R, FX340SC-2, FX210W, XL2.5TCZ-4, E- 340-3, with manufacture dates between October 2007 and April 2008. Approximately 167,000 units were available through department and home stores nationwide. 20140224_sfdThese fire extinguishers are believed to potentially be present throughout our area, and have been identified as loosing critical pressure in the cylinder and failing to operate when needed. The model number can be found on the label mounted on the front face of the fire extinguisher, and the manufacture year is marked on the bottom of the cylinder. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

    Consumers should immediately inspect the pressure gauge located near the top of the fire extinguisher, and if it indicates not having sufficient pressure, or is in the “red zone,” the fire extinguisher should be replaced –as shown in the photo. Consumers can contact Kidde for a possible replacement between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday at phone number 1-800-880-6788, or at www.Kidde.com.

    District Fire Inspector Kevin Sullivan states, “Portable fire extinguishers are most effective when people know how to correctly use them, when they are readily available, and when they are fully operational.” The adopted Fire Code requires portable fire extinguishers serving commercial occupancies to be inspected and serviced annually by a reputable fire extinguisher servicing company –this should include a tag which indicates such service. Fire extinguishers should be mounted no lower than 4 inches off the floor and no higher than 5 feet, and should be easily identifiable and free from any visual obstructions. Residents and businesses with additional questions or with interest in knowing more about fire extinguisher training should contact the Sedona Fire District at phone number (928) 282-6800.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
