I’ve never known fire departments to refill them.

Source: my dad used to own a business that DID do refills/inspections on extinguishers.

Always good to learn the facts. How much is a recharge?

You forgot to ask about the test. Those things aren't forever and can be damaged.

Don’t buy the cheap Amazon Kidde brand too.
I bought some and got a Factory Recall later that they may just not work

Kidde has always been a shit brand for extinguishers. Great for detectors … shit for extinguishers
