Fire Extinguishers
Fire Extinguishers are a must have if you own any business!
Did you know we inspect extinguishers at all types of businesses not strictly restaurants? Yep! You bet we do!
Understanding the Different Types of Fire Extinguishers
Selecting the right type of fire extinguisher for your business environment is critical. Here’s a brief overview of the main types we work with:
- Water Extinguishers:
Ideal for Class A fires (wood, paper, cloth) – perfect for offices and areas with ordinary combustibles. - Foam Extinguishers:
Effective on Class A and B fires (flammable liquids) – great for areas with solvents, paints, or other flammable liquids. - Dry Chemical Extinguishers:
Versatile for Class A, B, and C fires (electrical equipment) – a reliable choice for a variety of business settings. - Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Extinguishers:
Best suited for electrical fires and flammable liquids, leaving no residue – ideal for computer rooms or laboratories. - Wet Chemical Extinguishers:
Specifically designed for kitchen fires involving oils and fats (Class K) – essential for restaurants and food processing areas.

Why Regular Inspections Matter
Regular maintenance and inspections are not just regulatory requirements – they’re a crucial step in ensuring your safety. Our inspection services cover:
- Pressure and Seal Checks:
We verify that each extinguisher is fully charged and that seals and gauges are in proper working order. - Component Integrity:
Hoses, nozzles, and handles are thoroughly inspected to ensure there are no signs of wear or damage. - Compliance Documentation:
Each unit receives a current tag with inspection details, ensuring your business stays compliant with local fire safety regulations.
How to Choose the Right Fire Extinguisher for Your Business
Every business is unique, and so are its fire safety needs. When choosing an extinguisher, consider these factors:
- Type of Fire Risk:
Evaluate the most common fire hazards in your business area (e.g., electrical, chemical, or cooking-related fires). - Business Environment:
Different settings (kitchens, offices, warehouses) require tailored fire safety solutions. - Local Fire Codes:
Compliance is key—our certified technicians ensure your extinguishers meet all local regulatory requirements.
