Frequently Asked Questions

It's a common question, and it's easy to lose track of when our fire protection services are due each year! Simply check the certification tag hanging from the portable fire extinguisher. This tag contains important information, including the date of the last service, the servicing company's details, their contact information, licensing numbers, and more! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to give us a call today!

A fire suppression system should undergo servicing every six months! While this may seem repetitive and costly for business owners, it can potentially save everything in the building, including employees, customers, and inventory. Servicing these systems semi-annually ensures they are fully functional and operational for use. Remember to schedule semi-annual hood inspections when cooking with large amounts of grease and oil!

Automatic sprinkler systems require quarterly, annual, and 5-year inspections and servicing. These services ensure that all components are clear and ready for use in case of an emergency. Without proper inspection and servicing, how would you know if a twenty-year-old building's sprinkler system will work correctly in the event of a fire?

Portable fire extinguishers are essential for any company or business for numerous reasons! They are the quickest and easiest way to extinguish a small fire without causing further damage or incurring additional costs. For example, a fire in a small wastebasket would be the perfect opportunity to use a portable fire extinguisher!

Each fire extinguisher is designed for use on a specific class of fire. There are 5 Classes of Fires, including Type A (Free Burning Combustibles), Type B (Burning Liquids or Gas), Type C (Electrical Fires), Type D (Metallic Fires), and Type K (Cooking or Grease Fires). Fire extinguisher types correspond to each class of fire. For example, there are ABC Powder, Water Mist, CO2, Clean Agent, and Wet Chemical Extinguishers available to address various fire hazards.
