Result from table 2d shows that majority of the respondents never check the functionality of the fire extinguishers 48 (46.15%). This is in contrast to the finding of Ngulube and Magazi (2006) on protecting documents in public libraries in kwazulu Natal, South Africa against disaster and theft using 50 respondents in which majority of the respondents 35(70%) indicated that they usually inspect their fire extinguishers annually. Result from table 2d also shows that majority of the respondents never check the availability of sand in the buckets 66 (63.46%) and never checked the functionality of the control switch 56 (78.84%). Furthermore, the result also shows that half of the respondents never checked the location of the keys to the emergency exits and the functionality of the keys 52 (50%). However, few respondents indicated that they always check the availability of water in the tap/tank 32 (30.76%).The weighted average is 2.02 (40.4%). This implies that averagely the respondents seldom check the functionality of the fire- fighting equipment.
