On-site Emergency Exit Light & Fire Extinguisher Inspections

Section 6.2 of the BC Fire Code requires that all portable and wheeled fire extinguishers be maintained and comply with NFPA 10. Our ASTTBC Registered Fire Protection Technician can conduct a fire extinguisher inspection to help ensure you meet these requirements. As part of our on-site fire safety inspection, we also verify your emergency exit lights are up to code, and advise you of any work needed for us to tag your fire protection equipment as compliant. For added peace of mind, consider scheduling a recurring annual fire extinguisher inspection.

Fire Extinguisher Refills & Fire Extinguisher Maintenance

The NFPA requires that fire extinguishers and cylinders undergo periodic internal examinations and/or hydrostatic testing. We offer all manner of fire extinguisher maintenance, including refills, recharging, repairs, and other fire extinguisher services. Wherever possible, (including for exit lights) our technician will recommend repairs or services to save you money, before selling you an entirely new unit. We guarantee high quality fire extinguisher rebuilds or repairs, and in the unlikely event of leaks or other issues (caused by us) they’ll be addressed free-of-charge.

Fire Extinguisher Replacements & Installation

Unfortunately, due to wear or age, not everything can be repaired, nor is up to current safety standards. In these scenarios we can provide you with competitively priced exit light and fire extinguisher replacements or upgrades. To assist in this transition, we also offer on-site installation. Beyond just meeting standards, we can provide you with more ergonomic or accessible fire extinguisher brackets and mounts. Check out our fire extinguisher types guide for more information on the various classes of fire extinguishers you may have, or need.

Did you know that store-bought fire extinguishers still need to be certified for your business?

If you use an extinguisher, bring it to Princeton Fire & Safety Ltd. instead of replacing it! It is usually cheaper to refill or recharge fire extinguishers, instead of buying a new one and then having it certified. If you aren’t sure how exactly to use a fire extinguisher in the first place, check out our guide on how to use a fire extinguisher.

All fire extinguisher inspections and fire extinguisher services are conducted, or overseen, by an ASTTBC Registered Fire Protection Technician and complies with local requirements.
