A fire extinguisher holder provides for the removable retention of a fire extinguisher therein, for use in the home, office, or other immovable structure where the immobility of the structure precludes any requirement for positive clamping or attachment of the extinguisher in the holder. The present holder comprises a back panel, a base for supporting a fire extinguisher thereon, and an encircling element for precluding lateral movement of the extinguisher until it is lifted clear of the encircling element. The present extinguisher holder is constructed as a single, unitary structure and is devoid of any movable extinguisher retaining elements which would otherwise have to be manipulated in order to remove the extinguisher from the holder. The present holder allows a fire extinguisher held therein to be removed quickly and easily, without any requirement for releasing retaining straps and the like. The present extinguisher holder may be constructed of various materials, but is preferably constructed of wood, in order to provide an attractive appearance and encourage installation in the home or office, thereby promoting safety. Other elements of the present holder, such as the concave insets and convex curvature of the upper portion of the back panel, provide functional advantages, such as clearance for grasping the extinguisher and removal of sharp corners, as well as providing an attractive appearance for the device.
