Regular testing and maintenance keeps your fire extinguishers fully operational. And that’s a good thing. Here’s why you can’t skip a Ft. Myers fire extinguisher inspection.

Fire extinguishers are an important part of a fire response plan, and they are also required in industrial, commercial, and most residential buildings. Because of this, your Ft. Myers fire extinguisher inspection is absolutely critical – your fire extinguisher isn’t worth much if it’s not working. Here’s how a fire extinguisher inspection helps protect people and property. 

We’ll Make Sure Your Fire Extinguisher Is Accessible 

Fire extinguishers have been shown to be highly effective at extinguishing small fires 95% of the time. But a fire extinguisher is designed for small fires. If it’s not easily accessible and you can’t use it fast enough, a small fire can grow until it can’t be contained by your extinguisher.

As part of your Ft. Myers fire extinguisher inspection, our highly-trained fire inspectors will ensure that the extinguishers on your premises are all visible and easy to reach. And if the extinguisher isn’t visible, we’ll check that there is signage to indicate where it is located. 

We’ll Check That You Have The Right Extinguisher

Did you know that there are five fire classifications? 

• Class A: Ordinary combustibles, like wood and paper
• Class B: Flammable liquids, like oil and paint
• Class C: Live electrical equipment, like electrical panels
• Class D: Combustible metal, such as aluminum or magnesium
• Class K: Commercial cooking, such as animal fats or grease

ABC dry chemical fire extinguishers are very common and meet requirements for multiple fire types. Our skilled inspectors will check that you have the right extinguisher for the needs of your property during your Ft. Myers fire extinguisher inspection.

We’ll Provide Mandatory Testing

Your fire extinguisher needs to be inspected annually to check for any signs of damage or mechanical problems that may affect its usefulness in case of a fire. Lucky for you, our technicians are NICET-certified and will conduct the most thorough Ft. Myers fire extinguisher inspection you’ve ever had. 

In addition to your annual maintenance, NFPA standard mandates that stored-pressure fire extinguishers that require a 12-year hydrostatic test be emptied completely and internally examined every 6 years. If this doesn’t sound like something you can do yourself, that’s what we’re here for.

Our technicians can also provide you with 5 and 12-year hydrostatic testing for your fire extinguishers. This testing checks your extinguisher’s strength and will also test for any leaks, ensuring that your equipment is as prepared as possible.
