Prep For Emergencies With Fire Extinguisher Services In Kent, Wa

A fire extinguisher could make the difference between a small fire and a larger, more destructive one. When they are strategically placed around your business, they give anyone the ability to quickly put out a fire at a moment’s notice, perhaps preventing a catastrophe.

Because of their handheld capability, fire extinguishers provide a mobile way to fight a fire. If the sprinkler system has not turned on yet or is not properly reducing the growth of the fire, then fire extinguishers are another powerful line of defense in an emergency situation.

We will plan out the placement of your fire extinguishers to ensure that fires can be put out in the most efficient manner. We strategically place the extinguishers based on accessibility and likeliness of the fire’s path.

Regular Fire Extinguisher Testing & Maintenance Is Key

The National Fire Protection Agency states that fire extinguishers need to have maintenance once per year and need to be inspected every month as well. Maintenance and inspection must be performed by a qualified professional.

We can provide these services and more to make sure that your fire extinguishers are in perfecting working order and comply with all applicable regulations.

If your extinguishers are at lower than normal pressure, or they have been used recently to fight a fire, we can recharge them so they are ready to protect your occupants and property at a moment’s notice.

We'll make sure your extinguishers are:

  • Properly distributed in your space
  • Completely functional
  • Correctly inspected and tagged
  • Adequately charged

Fire Extinguisher FAQs

Which fire extinguishers can be refilled?

Generally, most fire extinguishers can be refilled. Portable fire extinguishers, such as those with ABC, BC, or CO2 ratings, are designed to be refilled after use or when their contents are depleted. However, it's essential to have a licensed fire equipment service provider or a certified fire extinguisher technician refill the extinguisher to ensure it is done correctly and meets safety standards. Additionally, some disposable fire extinguishers are designed for one-time use and cannot be refilled, so it's crucial to check the manufacturer's guidelines for each specific type.

Are fire extinguishers required for businesses in Washington?

Yes, businesses in Washington state are generally required to have fire extinguishers. The specific regulations may vary based on the type and size of the business, occupancy classification, and other factors. Compliance with all fire safety codes is essential. Businesses should familiarize themselves with the state and local fire codes and ensure that they have the appropriate fire safety measures, including fire extinguishers, in place to protect occupants and property in case of emergencies.

How often should fire extinguishers be inspected and maintained in Washington?

According to the Washington State Fire Code, fire extinguishers should be inspected at least annually by a licensed fire protection company. Additionally, monthly visual inspections are recommended to check for obvious signs of damage, tampering, or other issues. Adhering to these inspection schedules helps ensure the reliability and effectiveness of fire extinguishers in the event of a fire emergency.

What are the different types of fire extinguishers?

Fire extinguishers are categorized based on the types of fires they are designed to combat:

  1. Class A: For ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth.

  3. Class C: For electrical fires involving wiring, outlets, and appliances.
