How does fire extinguisher service work?

For you, as a homeowner or business owner, there’s not much more than making a phone call to All Florida Fire Equipment Co. Our technicians will come out to your place and take care of everything. There’s very little input needed from your or your family or staff.

Once the tech arrives, they’ll look for all of the fire extinguishers. Each extinguisher is inspected visually for damage, vandalism, etc. They’re looking to make sure the pin is in place and that the pressure gauge indicates that the extinguisher is still full.

There should be an extinguisher within 75 feet of every point in the building, within 30 feet of cooking equipment.

The view to the extinguisher can’t be blocked and there must be easy unobstructed access.

They will check to make sure that you have the right type of extinguisher for your location: water, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide (CO2), ABC powder, water mist, or wet chemical.

Once the extinguisher has been fully inspected, it will get a hang tag showing that it’s met standards, you get a full report, and a report is filled in our offices for your insurance or legal purposes.

Stored Pressure Extinguishers

“Stored pressure extinguishers” have become common in Florida. These are excellent extinguishers that work well, but they need consistent maintenance. Every 6 years, they need to have the internal parts maintained and sometimes replaced. These extinguishers need a hydrostatic test from a qualified technician, such as the team at All Florida Fire Equipment Co..

Fire Extinguishers and the Law (NFPA 10)

Nearly every city, country, and municipality requires fire extinguishers in Florida.

  • Inspection - Everything needs to be inspected annually. There are significant fines for not having the inspections done. Those fines and citations can lead to a business being shut down and the owner being liable for a great deal of money.
  • Lawsuits - Though rare, an uninspected fire extinguisher can lead to civil legal issues. If an occupant reaches for a fire extinguisher and it doesn’t work because it wasn’t inspected, the owner could potentially be on the hook for millions in damages, both real and punitive.
  • Insurance - Every business insurance plan and many homeowners’ plans require that there be extinguishers throughout the building and that they are inspected on a regular basis. A fire extinguisher that doesn’t work in the event of a fire that then subsequently got out of hand could lead to a reason for non-payment by the insurance company. That’s why All Florida Fire Equipment Co. keeps records of all of our inspections. God forbid your records are destroyed by fire, we have them.
  • Safety - The number one reason to have fire extinguishers in your office, factory, shop, or home is safety. Next to a smoke detector, a fire extinguisher is the single most important tool for safety you can own. Properly installed and maintained fire extinguishers are vital to keeping everyone you care about safe.

Fire Extinguisher Service Near Me

This question to Google, “fire extinguisher service near me,” will often get you answers that aren’t really “near you.” A national chain that has an office in Florida is not really local. A company that has been in the area for a few months is not trustworthy.
