Why Every Home Office Needs a Fire Extinguisher — And Why It Is a Smart, Tax-Deductible Investment
Posted by the FSS Team on Oct 17th 2025
Protect Your Home Office and Your Bottom Line
Running a business from home comes with all the same responsibilities as operating from a commercial space — including fire safety. Whether you are self-employed, working remotely, or managing a small team from a home office, having a fire extinguisher within reach is a simple yet vital step in protecting your property, equipment, and livelihood. At Fire Safety Supply, we believe that safety is good business. A small investment in the proper fire extinguisher today can prevent devastating losses tomorrow.
Home Offices Face Real Fire Risks
Computers, printers, chargers, space heaters, and kitchen appliances — these are everyday items that can quickly become fire hazards. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, electrical malfunctions and overloaded circuits are among the leading causes of residential fires. A single, properly rated ABC fire extinguisher can help you stop small electrical or paper fires before they spread. For larger or multi-room offices, having multiple extinguishers — one near your workstation and one near the kitchen or garage — provides layered protection and peace of mind.
A Tax-Deductible Way to Stay Safe
Fire extinguishers are not just a safety essential — they are also a fully tax-deductible business expense under IRS Section 162. The IRS allows businesses, regardless of size or location, to deduct any “ordinary and necessary” expense related to business operations. That means your fire extinguishers, refills, and annual inspections all qualify as deductible purchases when used for your home-based business. Investing now helps you stay compliant, protected, and financially savvy before year-end tax deadlines.
Stock Up Before the Year Ends
The end of the fiscal year is the perfect time to review your office safety equipment. If your extinguishers are expired or missing, now is the time to replace or add more — and write off the cost for 2025 taxes. Fire Safety Supply offers a full range of UL-rated extinguishers for electrical, grease, chemical, and paper fires, all serviced and tagged for compliance. Our experts can recommend the best extinguisher type for your specific home office setup.
Be Prepared, Stay Protected, and Save
Safety is not optional — and with tax savings available, it is a smart decision all around. Equip your home office with the right fire extinguishers today and enter the new year confident, protected, and compliant. Shop online or call Fire Safety Supply today to order your fire extinguishers and take advantage of year-end tax deductions before December 31.
