What's Included in Every Fire Extinguisher Installation
When you call A&J Fire, our certified technicians assess your property, select the correct extinguisher type for your hazard class, and install to NFPA-10 standards and FDNY requirements. Every job includes proper tagging and documentation - you're covered the moment we leave.
Here's what's included in every installation:
- Site assessment and extinguisher placement planning
- Selection of the correct fire suppression agent (ABC dry chemical, CO2, wet chemical, clean agent)
- Secure wall mounting or placement in extinguisher cabinets where required
- FDNY-compliant tagging and service record documentation
- Extinguisher inspection sign-off for your records
- Guidance on annual maintenance schedule going forward
We don't cut corners. Every unit we install is ready for inspection the same day.
Why NYC Properties Need Licensed Installation - Not a DIY Job
It's tempting to grab a unit off a shelf at a hardware store and call it done. That approach will cost you more in the long run. New York City fire code requires that fire extinguishers be installed and inspected by a certified company - not a building super, not a facilities manager doing it solo. The NFPA 10 standard governs placement height, spacing between units, accessibility requirements, and cabinet specifications. Getting any of these wrong puts you at risk of violations, fines, and failed inspections.
Our technicians are licensed, FDNY-compliant, and trained specifically for New York City's unique compliance landscape. Whether you're running a restaurant in Queens, a warehouse in the Bronx, or a multi-unit residential building in Brooklyn, the rules are clear - and we know them cold.
Correct Placement Matters More Than You Think
Fire extinguishers mounted in the wrong location - too high, too hidden, or blocked by equipment - fail inspections and create real safety gaps. NFPA-10 specifies maximum travel distances based on hazard class. Our technicians map out coverage zones before a single bracket goes into the wall, ensuring every unit is accessible, visible, and placed where it's actually needed.
The Right Extinguisher for the Right Hazard
Not all fire extinguishers work on all fires. A CO2 unit in a commercial kitchen isn't compliant - you need a wet chemical suppression system rated for Class K grease fires. A restaurant using the wrong type can face violations even if the unit is mounted perfectly. We match every extinguisher to the hazard class of the space, so your fire protection holds up under inspection.

Annual Inspections and Ongoing Extinguisher Maintenance
Installation is just the start. NYC fire code requires annual extinguisher inspection by a certified company, plus extinguisher maintenance at regular intervals depending on the unit type.

We track your service schedule, send reminders, and keep your extinguishers in full compliance. Need a refill? Our recharge service gets units back in service fast - same visit when possible.
