Asked Questions
Fire Sprinklers
Regular inspections are crucial! Generally, fire sprinkler systems are required to be inspected annually by a qualified professional to ensure proper functioning and compliance with safety standards.

Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers must be inspected by a certified/licensed Fire Extinguisher company annually. Additionally, trained personnel, most likely someone on your staff, are required to conduct monthly inspections.
There are several types of fire extinguishers, each designed to handle specific types of fires. Common types include ABC (for ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical fires), CO2 (for electrical fires and flammable liquids), and water-based extinguishers (for ordinary combustibles).
Fire extinguishers work by releasing an agent that either cools the burning material, removes oxygen, or interrupts the chemical reaction that sustains the fire.
Emergency Exit Lights
Regular testing is essential to ensure the reliability of emergency lighting. At minimum, annual testing & documentation is required, but the frequency may vary based on your jurisdiction. Many fire marshals also require monthly 30 second tests.
Yes, emergency lights are required to have backup power. This can be done by either provided batteries in each unit or by a central emergency generator that provides power to ALL emergency exit & light units in the event of a power failure.
