McAtamney said Singh typically targeted small businesses in the Auckland and Waikato regions.<\/p>\n
She said he would usually enter uninvited and inform staff that he was there to check their fire extinguishers. After inspection, staff were typically advised the fire extinguishers needed to be serviced or replaced.<\/p>\n
However, the commission\u2019s investigations identified issues with the equipment and services provided by Singh, including that the service or test may not comply with the relevant standard, a replacement extinguisher may not be \u201cnew\u201d or compliant, or the wrong extinguisher type for the intended use is installed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"However, in 2023 and 2024 investigators found evidence of Singh\u2019s non-compliance.
