Fire Extinguishers

Fire Extinguisher Services

Fire extinguishers serve a key function in any business’s fire safety policy as a reactionary and safety measure. In the hands of an experienced professional, an extinguisher can put out an impending out-of-control fire or provide safe exit if one has already started. It is critical that the extinguishers on your property undergo routine testing, inspections, and repairs as needed in order to maintain their functionality.

Fire Extinguisher Inspection and Testing

Frequent fire extinguisher tests and inspections are a crucial component of overall extinguisher maintenance and are required to keep your business in compliance with local AHJ and NFPA requirements. Visual monthly inspections are required by OSHA, but all regulated annual maintenance tests must be completed by a skilled and qualified fire protection business.

1st FPS is your one-stop shop for all fire safety and life-saving services, including annual fire extinguisher inspections. To organize an inspection, please contact us online or by phone right away!

When to Inspect What to Inspect
Every year Fire Extinguishers corrode and take damage over time and require yearly inspection which is very quick and easy. If inspection is done on site, technicians will also note problems such as blocked access to fire extinguishers.
6-maintenance is required every 6th year or when damage is suspected (Inspection included) 6-Year Maintenance requires discharging the tank and refilling it.
Hydrostatic Testing required every 12th year or when damage is suspected. (Inspection included) 12-Year Hydrostatic Testing requires discharging the tank and submerging it in water to test its integrity.  It will be refilled if it passes the test and scrapped if it does not.  You’ll need to purchase a new fire extinguisher if it is scrapped.
