Helping you stay prepared with Fire Extinguishers as the first line of Fire Defense
Your fire extinguishers perform two primary functions: controlling or putting out a small fire, and protecting evacuation routes that may be blocked by a fire. You need them to work at a moment’s notice, so have them carefully inspected and tested to keep them ready™. Our fire extinguisher service includes maintenance, testing and inspection of your fire extinguishers, detailed documentation and the convenience of 24/7 on-call support. Ask about additional fire protection services, such as our unique even-exchange program and installation of signs, accessories and more.
