Fire Extinguisher Inspections, Service & Certification
Annual Inspection and certification of your vessel’s onboard Fire Extinguishers is required by law and your insurance company. Fire Water Marine Services employs highly skilled Fire and Life Safety Experts to Install, Inspect, Certify and Maintain all your vessel’s Fire Extinguishers including cabinets, mounts and brackets. We make sure your extinguishers are up to code, positioned in the correct areas and are in working condition when needed the most.
What We Inspect on Your Extinguishers
During your Fire Extinguishers Annual Inspection our highly trained technicians will visually inspect all of your vessel’s extinguishers for any corrosion, cracks, leaks, missing parts or use while onboard. This includes the pull pin, tamper seal, valve assembly, hose, the canister itself and more. If any extinguishers are deemed not fit for emergency use, our technicians will refurbish, recharge or replace your fire extinguishers returning them to your vessel in pristine working condition.
We know the importance of having your fire equipment work the first time, every time and we make sure of it!
