Residential · Commercial · Industrial · Marine

Inspection and Certified Tagging

Every visit includes a full physical inspection: gauge pressure, pin and seal condition, hose and nozzle wear, and mounting compliance. We tag the unit and log it, so you have documentation on file the moment a fire marshal asks for it.

Recharge and Hydrostatic Testing

Extinguishers that have been discharged or that have reached their testing interval get recharged or hydrostatically tested on site or at our shop, using the manufacturer specifications for that class of unit.

Fleet and Facility Programs

Facilities with dozens or hundreds of units across multiple buildings get a standing service schedule instead of one-off calls, so every extinguisher on your property comes due on the same cycle.

Arizona A-Rated Fire Extinguisher Company

Armor Fire Protection is a State of Arizona A-rated fire extinguisher company, which means our certifications and tags carry weight with fire marshals across the Phoenix metro, not just in Gilbert.

Recharge and Testing Handled In-House

We recharge, hydrostatically test and refurbish extinguishers ourselves rather than shipping units out to a third party, which keeps turnaround short even during peak inspection season.

One Schedule for Every Building

Multi-site facilities and property managers get one inspection calendar covering every extinguisher across every address, instead of tracking each building on its own timeline.

Wet Chemical Class K, for Commercial Kitchens

Grease and cooking oil fires need a wet chemical Class K extinguisher, not a standard dry chemical unit. Class K agent cools the fire and saponifies the burning oil so it will not reignite, which is exactly why restaurant kitchens with a hood suppression system still need a Class K unit within reach of the cook line.

Dry Chemical ABC, for Offices, Retail and Warehouses

Most non-kitchen commercial space is covered by a multi-purpose dry chemical ABC extinguisher, rated for ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids and electrical equipment. Placement and unit count come down to square footage and travel distance under the fire code your building falls under.

1. Site Survey

We count and classify every extinguisher on site against what your occupancy type and square footage actually require, and flag any gaps.

2. Service, Recharge or Replace

Units that pass get tagged. Units that need recharge, hydrostatic testing or replacement get handled the same visit whenever possible.

3. Certify and Schedule the Next Visit

You get certified tags and documentation on file, and we schedule your next annual inspection so it never becomes an overdue surprise.

Fire Extinguisher Service Phoenix Businesses Ask About

How often does Arizona require fire extinguisher inspections?

Portable fire extinguishers need a monthly visual check and an annual maintenance inspection performed by a licensed servicing company, with hydrostatic testing on a longer interval that depends on the extinguisher type. We track the annual and hydrostatic dates for you so you are not the one keeping a spreadsheet.

What is the difference between an inspection, a recharge and a replacement?

An inspection checks pressure, condition and mounting without opening the unit. A recharge refills an extinguisher after use or after it fails a pressure check. Replacement happens when a unit fails hydrostatic testing or is too old or damaged to service. We tell you which applies before we bill for it.

Do you service extinguishers on active construction sites and job trailers?

Yes. Job sites have their own fire code requirements for extinguisher count and placement, and those requirements change as the site progresses. We service both temporary job site units and the permanent extinguishers that stay with the finished building.

What happens if I skip annual certification?

An uncertified extinguisher is treated by most fire marshals as if it is not there at all, which can hold up an inspection or a certificate of occupancy. Skipping certification can also affect how an insurance claim gets handled if a fire does happen on the property.

Wheeled and Cartridge-Operated Units for Industrial Sites

Warehouses, manufacturing floors and large industrial sites often need wheeled or cartridge-operated extinguishers rated for a larger fire load than a standard handheld unit can cover. We service and recharge these larger units on site, since moving a 150 or 350 pound wheeled unit off site is rarely practical.

Halon 1211 and Halotron for Sensitive Equipment

Server rooms, electrical rooms and marine applications often call for a clean agent extinguisher like Halon 1211 or Halotron, which suppresses fire without leaving a residue on sensitive electronics. We stock, service and recharge both, along with the low pressure hydrostatic testing these units require.

Do you service extinguishers on boats and marine vessels?

Yes. We provide certified marine fire extinguisher service, including the CO2 and dive tank cylinder testing that boat owners and marinas in the Phoenix area need on file.

What It Costs a Business to Skip Extinguisher Certification

An uninspected or uncertified fire extinguisher is treated the same as a missing one by most fire marshals during a walkthrough, which can hold up a certificate of occupancy on a new build or trigger a re-inspection on an existing property. For restaurants, an expired tag on the extinguisher next to the hood suppression system is one of the fastest ways to fail a health department visit alongside the fire inspection. And because insurance carriers expect current fire protection documentation on file, a lapsed certification can complicate how a claim gets handled if a fire does happen, even when the extinguisher itself would have worked. A standing service contract with Armor Fire Protection is built specifically to keep that documentation current across every extinguisher on your property, so certification never becomes the reason a claim or an inspection goes sideways.

Fire Extinguisher Inspection Phoenix Businesses Need Every Year

The fire extinguisher inspection Phoenix Arizona businesses schedule annually covers far more than a glance at the gauge. We check the pull pin and tamper seal, the hose and nozzle, the shell for corrosion, the mounting height and signage, and the service tag date, then hydrotest or recharge whatever the schedule calls for.

Class A Fire Extinguisher

A Class A fire extinguisher handles ordinary combustibles such as paper, wood, cloth and most plastics. Most facilities need a mix of classes rather than one unit everywhere.

Class B, C and K Coverage

Flammable liquids, energized electrical equipment and commercial kitchen cooking media each need their own agent. We map the right unit to each hazard on site.
