As a business owner it’s required you perform monthly inspections for your extinguisher(s).

🧯Step 1) Check Accessibility - Is it easily visible? It should not be blocked by any equipment or other objects.

🧯Step 2) Examine the physical state - Is the label readable? Is the cylinder damaged or dented? Is the hose secured to the cylinder and free of cracks? Is the locking pin present?

🧯Step 3) Check the pressure gauge - The needle should be in the green zone.

🧯Step 4) Look for the inspection tag - NFPA standards require your🧯be inspected and tagged by a certified technician every 12 months.

🧯Step 5) Generate report and recommend action plan - After inspecting the 🧯 keep track of it. Most inspection tags have an area on the back to log the date and your initials/name. Add this to the calendar of monthly duties at your business to keep yourself accountable.

If you don’t own a restaurant or other food business that gets semi-annual fire suppression system inspections your 🧯 might be getting overlooked. The NFPA mandates fire extinguishers in just about every type of building/establishment and for them to be regularly inspected by the business owner and once every 12 months by a certified technician. Even a single malfunctioning 🧯 can put countless lives at risk. Don’t wait, contact us today for any of your fire extinguisher needs. We provide yearly inspections for them and carry both ABC and Wet K.

This chart is from the city of Phoenix website but is a useful resource in understanding the regulations of your commercial fire suppression system. These codes and regulations are also enforced by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and most cities/states/jurisdictions abide by them as well.

A fire suppression system is designed to extinguish or control a fire at your place of business. When finding a company to provide your semi-annual inspection, not only should they be licensed, bonded and insured but also thoroughly checking all components are intact and functioning. If we find any issues during an inspection, we always communicate them directly to the owner/person in charge to come up with a resolution to keep your business protected. Contact us today if you have questions about this or would like to set up an appointment!

**If you haven't had your semi-annual inspection yet in 2022 now is the time to schedule one so you don't fall behind!

Preventative maintenance is important for several components of a commercial kitchen, especially for the fire suppression system. It might not be something you think about every day but it's something you don't want to ignore or forget about.

Having semi-annual inspections for your FS system ensures it would work properly in the instance of a grease fire. This helps prevent injuries to employees and customers as well as severe damage to your kitchen equipment/establishment.

If you are in Arizona and have questions or would like to schedule a semi-annual inspection you can reach us at 602-888-6134 or 602-427-8007. We look forward to hearing from you!

There are only a couple of ways to activate a fire suppression system if there is a grease fire, one of those being if the fusible links separate. As you can see, the link on the left is heavily corroded with grease which would most likely not allow it to work for its intended purpose if there is a fire. Evaluating and replacing fusible links by a licensed and certified professional is one of many components to the semi-annual inspections we provide. It's also one of the many important reasons an inspection for your fire suppression system should be happening every 6 months. If you have questions about inspections or would like to set up an appointment for one, give us a call or send us a message. We look forward to providing you fire protection services you can trust!

Inspecting and cleaning the nozzles is just one of many things on our list during a semi-annual inspection. The nozzle in the before picture is completely clogged and in the event of a grease fire, would not have allowed the fire suppressant chemical to flow through to the fire. It's important you have a licensed and certified technician conducting your fire suppression system semi-annual inspections. Contact us today to set up an appointment!
