REQUESTS DUE ON JUNE 1, 2026
Late submissions = crying and explaining it to Waffle.
Because “hope it doesn’t catch fire” is not an operational plan.
Fire happens.
We'd prefer it happens in art pieces and controlled burns — not your kitchen, generator setup, or questionable wiring experiment.
This page is your one-stop shop for:
🔥 Requesting extinguishers
🔥 Checking deadlines
🔥 Seeing what’s already been ordered
🔥 Not being that person scrambling in August
Confirm your team actually needs extinguishers (hint: if you have power, fuel, heat, or humans… you probably do).
Fill out the request form completely.
Submit one request per department/project.
Do not wait until Build Week. We see you.

âť“ FAQ âť“
How many extinguishers do I need?
If you have fuel, electricity, kitchens, generators, vehicles, or fire risk… more than zero.
Can I reuse an extinguisher that's been in my storage?
Only if it's been inspected, charged, and not used as a doorstop.
What type should I request?
Default is ABC, unless you have specialized needs.
Who pays for these?
Depends on the department. Verify before assuming!
What happens if I don’t request any?
You will still need them. Just with more stress.
