Fire extinguisher yes, in my fire brigade we recharge extinguishers using our
truck's compressor, which IIRC runs at around 900kPa.  Depends for the SCUBA
tanks - being a lot higher pressure, well, it helps to know someone with the
right kind of compressor, or go to a dive shop, if you want to totally
recharge it.  If you're happy with the 120-odd psi of a standard hardware
compressor, go for it.
