CSLB #976500 · State Fire Marshal #E2390 · Title 19 Certified
24/7 Emergency: (877) 256-0161Annual service for 23 extinguishers across a commercial property: 15 inspected and re-tagged, 4 given their 6-year internal maintenance, and 4 new units added where coverage was missing.
Client: A multi-building commercial property
The challenge
Portable extinguishers need an annual inspection and tag under NFPA 10 and California Title 19, and every six years each stored-pressure dry chemical unit has to be emptied and maintained internally. This property had units on walls and in break-glass cabinets across several buildings, four of them due for 6-year maintenance, and areas with no extinguisher in reach.
What we did
Each unit was checked for dents and corrosion, its gauge read in the green, its hose and nozzle cleared, its pull pin re-secured with a new tamper seal, and its bracket or cabinet checked. Each received a 2026 State Fire Marshal service tag under license C16-976500.
The four units at their 6-year interval were emptied, depressurized and taken apart for internal inspection. Valve O-rings were replaced, the dry chemical agent recharged, the units repressurized with dry nitrogen and fitted with verification-of-service collars.
Four new UL-listed 5 lb ABC extinguishers (Buckeye and Amerex) were mounted on heavy-duty brackets where the walkthrough found gaps in coverage.
Property management received an inventory of every unit with its location, service performed and next service date.
Results
Every extinguisher on the property carries a 2026 State Fire Marshal tag.
Four new units where people previously had no extinguisher in reach.

More of our work
A facility-wide walkthrough, a mix of 5 lb and 10 lb ABC extinguishers sized to each hazard, location signage, and the itemized report the client's insurer asked for.
Cabinets with 5 lb ABC extinguishers in every hallway, stairwell, lobby and garage entry, placed within NFPA 10 travel distances, with a floor-by-floor register for the owners.
Wok-line grease had seized the detection line. We replaced the cable, pulleys, brackets and fusible links, then completed the semi-annual service and filed the report.
