Question 1

How do I know if I have enough fire safety equipment on my premises?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to fire extinguishers, the industry standard is that there should be no more than 75 feet in-between extinguishers where Class “A” hazards are present, and no more than 50 feet in-between extinguishers for Class “B” hazards. Class A hazards are those defined by fires where paper, trash, wood, and other combustible materials are the primary source of fuel. Class B hazards are fires fueled by flammable or combustible liquids.

Question 2

How do I know if my fire protection systems meet government and insurance standards and expectations?

Accepted Answer

Installing fire safety systems to protect your restaurant, computer room, industrial spray booth, and any other area varies on a case-to-case basis. At Fire Extinguisher Sales and Service, we offer customized solutions by inspecting the area and designing a specific fire safety solution to fit your needs. Because we work with insurance companies, adhere to government guidelines, and work with you first hand, you can rest assured that any system we install will meet and exceed these standards.

Question 3

How often should I check my fire extinguishers and systems?

Accepted Answer

Just like any other piece of equipment, fire safety items should be checked routinely to confirm that they will work as designed in the midst of an emergency. We recommend performing a monthly check to make certain that fire extinguishers are in their designated places without any obstructions on your property. Furthermore, we suggest an annual check to examine the elements of your fire extinguisher or system to check that everything is in working order. At Fire Extinguisher Sales and Service, our professionals are trained to keep equipment fully functional.
