A quick releasable clamp bracket for supporting a portable fire extinguisher on a wall mounted panel is provided with the conventional vertical affixation strap and lateral flexible clamping strap, the straps overlapping in a double thick welded area midway of the height of the affixation strap. An electric alarm switch is embedded in the panel under the overlap area with its spring actuated push button extending through registering holes in the overlap to contact the body of the extinguisher. Removal of the extinguisher from the bracket causes the push button to spring out and close the alarm circuit.
