Question

## Portable Fire Extinguishers Must Be Placed Within 20 Metres of Potential Fire Locations

Accepted Answer

Portable fire extinguishers are mandated to be located no more than 20 metres from any potential fire source and must be maintained in a state of immediate readiness for use. This requirement is stipulated within the Malaysian Standard MS 1539-3:2003, which provides guidelines for the placement and maintenance of these essential fire safety devices. Furthermore, By-law 227 explicitly mandates the provision of portable fire extinguishers in all building categories, aligning with the standards set out in MS 1539.
