Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Tagging Annual NFPA 10 inspection, tagging, and documentation for every extinguisher on your property, with a deficiency report if anything needs attention.
We inspect each portable extinguisher on site — accessibility, condition, pressure, weight, and service history — then apply a current annual tag and deliver an AHJ-ready report.

Extinguisher Inspection — frequently asked How often do fire extinguishers need to be inspected? Most commercial fire extinguishers need a documented annual inspection, along with regular visual checks by the facility. Service needs can vary by equipment type, condition, and local requirements.
What happens if an extinguisher does not pass inspection? The issue is documented as a deficiency. Depending on the condition, the next step may be repair, recharge, 6-year maintenance, hydrostatic testing, replacement, or relocating the unit so it is accessible.
Can you replace an extinguisher during service? When inventory and site authorization allow, replacement can be handled during the visit. If not, replacement can be quoted and scheduled as follow-up work.
Do fire extinguisher companies have to be licensed in Texas? Yes. Any company that sells, installs, or services fire extinguishers in Texas must hold a Fire Extinguisher Certificate of Registration (ECR) from the Texas Department of Insurance's State Fire Marshal's Office, and every technician performing the work must hold an individual state extinguisher license.
