Fire Extinguisher Inspection Service

All businesses in NYC have the legal responsibility to ensure that fire extinguisher inspections are being performed timely and recorded accurately. FDNY regulations cover more than just ensuring extinguishers are available and properly inspected.

The FDNY also regulates:

• The number of extinguishers needed in a building
• The type of extinguisher required
• The proper placement and distance between each

Upon completion, inspections must be noted on each fire extinguisher’s tag. The FDNY can request records or proof of inspection at any given time. If they ask for the history inspections and maintenance records, and if they find any discrepancies in paperwork, fines could be imposed in the range from $600 to $1,000!

Portable fire extinguishers need regular inspections, testing and maintenance to ensure that they’re ready to operate. When experienced inspectors from Allstate Sprinkler visit your building, we visually inspect each unit for noticeable issues.

We ensure correct placement of extinguishers around your building. We check the pressure on each fire extinguisher and recharge units as needed. We notate that inspections have been properly completed so your records are up to date in the event of a review by the FDNY.

We can also offer advice and answer any questions you have regarding fire safety and prevention equipment, provide recommendations for new models and service existing extinguishers as needed.
