Fire Extinguisher Inspections & Replacement
Fire extinguishers are your first line of defense for small fires — but only if they're properly maintained and in the right location. Titan Life Safety provides NFPA 10-compliant annual inspections, recharging, and replacement for businesses and residences across the Atlanta Metro area.
NFPA 10 Compliant
All inspections meet current NFPA 10 standards for portable fire extinguishers
Inspection Tags & Records
Proper tagging and documentation for AHJ inspections
Annual Reminders
We track your inspection schedule and notify you when service is due
Recharge & Replacement
Discharged or failed units recharged or replaced
NFPA 10 requires annual inspection of all portable fire extinguishers by a qualified service technician.
Monthly visual checks by the property owner are also required between annual inspections.
All Extinguisher Classes
Different fire hazards require different extinguisher types. We verify every unit is correctly matched to the hazard it protects.
Class A — Ordinary Combustibles
For wood, paper, cloth, and plastics. Water, foam, or multipurpose dry chemical agents.
Class B — Flammable Liquids
For gasoline, oil, grease, and solvents. CO2, dry chemical, or foam agents.
Class C — Electrical Equipment
For energized electrical fires. CO2 or dry chemical — never water.
Class D — Combustible Metals
For magnesium, titanium, and other reactive metals. Dry powder agents specific to the metal type.
Class K — Cooking Oils & Fats
Required in commercial kitchens. Wet chemical agents that saponify cooking oils to suppress fire.
Multipurpose ABC
The most common type for general commercial and residential use. Covers Class A, B, and C hazards.

Common Fire Extinguisher Issues
Low or No Pressure
A gauge reading in the red zone means the extinguisher will not discharge properly. Immediate recharge or replacement required.
Missing or Broken Tamper Seal
A missing pull pin or broken tamper seal indicates the extinguisher may have been used or tampered with and must be inspected.
Wrong Type for Hazard
Using the wrong extinguisher class on a fire can make it worse. We verify every unit is correctly matched to the hazard it protects.
Expired or Overdue Inspection
Extinguishers without a current annual inspection tag are a code violation. We get you current and keep you on schedule.
Corrosion or Physical Damage
Dents, rust, or damaged hoses can prevent proper operation. We identify and replace compromised units.
Improper Placement or Accessibility
NFPA 10 specifies maximum travel distances and mounting heights. Blocked or improperly located extinguishers are a common violation.
What to Expect
Our technicians inspect every extinguisher on your property, update inspection tags, and provide a complete service record. Discharged or failed units are recharged or replaced the same visit.
Full Property Survey
We locate and inspect every extinguisher on your property, verifying placement meets NFPA 10 travel distance requirements.
Hands-On Inspection
Each unit is physically inspected — pressure, weight, hose, nozzle, tamper seal, and condition of the cylinder.
Tag & Document
Inspection tags are updated and a service record is provided for your files and any AHJ inspection.
Recharge or Replace
Any unit that fails inspection is recharged or replaced. We carry common sizes and types on every service vehicle.
