Fire Extinguisher Service You Can Count On

Fire extinguisher service is more than hanging a new tag. Each visit is a hands-on check of the equipment your staff would reach for in an emergency. Our fire extinguisher service covers:

If you have been searching for fire extinguisher service near me, you have found a company that is just down the road, not a national chain routing calls through a call center.

Annual Fire Extinguisher Inspection

A fire extinguisher inspection confirms that each unit is charged, accessible, undamaged, and ready. NFPA 10 calls for a quick monthly visual check by your staff and a full annual inspection and maintenance by a qualified technician.

During an annual fire extinguisher inspection, our technicians follow a simple process:

1

Check the Unit

Confirm the right type and size for the hazard, then check the gauge, seals, pull pin, hose, and nozzle.

2

Check the Location

Look for dents, corrosion, and tampering, and verify mounting height, signage, and clear access.

3

Tag and Document

Update the inspection tag and document the visit so your records are ready for any audit.

Commercial fire extinguisher inspection is often tied to your insurance policy and your local fire code. We keep your records organized so an audit or inspection never becomes a scramble.

Fire Extinguisher Maintenance and Testing

In addition to annual inspections, fire extinguishers require additional service throughout their lifespan to keep them charged, compliant, and ready for use.

Fire Extinguisher Recharge and Refill

Any extinguisher that has been discharged, even for a second, needs to be recharged. The same is true when the gauge drops out of the green. Our fire extinguisher recharge service gets units back in service quickly.

Maintenance and Hydrostatic Testing

Stored-pressure dry chemical units need internal maintenance every six years, and every extinguisher has a hydrostatic test interval that depends on its type. Fire extinguisher maintenance keeps you compliant and prevents surprises during a fire marshal walkthrough.

Commercial Fire Extinguishers for Every Hazard

Choosing the right extinguisher matters as much as maintaining it. We help you match equipment to the space it protects.

For offices, warehouses, and most general areas.

Fire Extinguisher Questions

Fire extinguishers should get a quick visual check every month and a full inspection and maintenance visit from a qualified technician once a year. Some extinguishers also need six-year maintenance and periodic hydrostatic testing.

Most fire extinguishers do not have a printed expiration date, but they do age out. If the gauge is out of the green, the tag is more than a year old, or the unit is damaged, it needs service or replacement.

Southern Fire Protection recharges fire extinguishers for businesses across Southeast Missouri. Any extinguisher that has been used, even briefly, needs to be recharged before it goes back on the wall.

Commercial kitchens with deep fryers and cooking oils need a Class K fire extinguisher near the cooking line, in addition to a kitchen hood fire suppression system.
