Services

Responsible business owners maintain their fire protection and life safety equipment because it’s the best way to ensure their business will NOT suffer a significant loss.

A fire or injury can hurt your employees and your business.

• Downtime is costly and may result in lost customers.
• Employees will leave unsafe work environments.
• Insurance will only cover so much and if your fire extinguishers and other safety equipment is NOT properly maintained, your insurance company may deny or limit a claim.
• In the event of an accident, an OSHA investigation may result in significant penalties.
• A major fire will result in additional expense due to loss of equipment, clean up time, and possibly the loss of business records.

Planning for the right protection is invaluable, but that’s only part of the job.

Your fire protection and safety equipment must be maintained properly so the equipment will function properly to prevent a major disaster AND your employees must be trained in the proper use of the equipment. Local, state, and federal fire protection ordinances require that all businesses and other types of public organizations have regular inspections of their fire protection equipment by a licensed fire protection company AND that all employees receive annual training in the use of the equipment in accordance with the company’s Emergency Response Plan.

At Best Fire Equipment we provide a variety of services that can help you maintain your equipment in top working condition and ensure that your employees are properly trained in the correct use of the equipment and other work-related safety issues.

On-Site Fire Extinguisher Service

At our customer’s request, Best Fire Equipment will dispatch a state licensed technician annually, semi-annually, monthly, or even weekly, to inspect and/or service your fire extinguishers. The need for this depends on the equipment usage or the severity of the fire hazards within a facility. Our fully equipped service vehicles enable us to refill and repair most fire extinguishers at your location, thereby greatly reducing fire extinguisher downtime.

On-Site First Aid Equipment Service

Best Fire Equipment will provide regular visits (annually, semi-annually, monthly, or even weekly), to service your First Aid Equipment Cabinets or Kits. The frequency of this service is determined by usage within a facility. Our fully equipped service vehicles enable us to replenish your First Aid supplies at your location, thereby reducing the time your staff has to spend to ensure that you have adequate supplies. We also ensure that your cabinets/kits are stocked in accordance with OSHA/ANSI standards, and with compliant first aid components.

Fire Extinguisher Loaner Service

If a fire extinguisher is due for maintenance that we cannot perform at your business, such as hydrotesting, we will replace it with one of our spare (loaner) extinguishers until yours is ready to be placed back in service.

Fire Extinguisher Rental Service

Are you having a Party? Remodeling or adding on, and need Additional Fire Extinguishers on a temporary basis? Best Fire rents fire extinguishers, any signage, and accessories that may be required by code, to provide temporary or additional fire protection for your special events or facility. See our Rental Rates Here.

Fire Hose Inspection Service

Our trained professionals can perform the required annual inspections on your fire hoses to ensure they are in safe operating condition and ensure that the hose(s) conform to fire codes, and will be fully operational in the event of a fire. We also stock fire hoses when for replacement when that becomes necessary.

Facility Fire Protection Survey And Analysis

Not sure what protection you need. No problem. It’s better to be safe and have a professional help you determine what is needed. Best Fire’s fully trained specialists will determine your facility’s fire extinguisher and safety requirements and provide you with a list of equipment needed to ensure the facility and fire and life safety equipment is in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal codes.

Budgetary Estimates for Future Planning

Once Best Fire Equipment has serviced a business or facility, we can provide our customers with budgetary estimates for service for one, two, or more years into the future. This allows our customers to avoid “surprises” when large quantities of fire extinguishers are due for internal maintenance, hydrotesting, or even replacement.

Training Programs & Services

Federal and state regulations (OSHA 1910.157(g)(1)) require that employers who provide portable fire extinguishers in the workplace also provide training for their use. Used properly, portable fire extinguishers can save lives and property by putting out a small fire in the workplace or containing one until the fire department arrives.

It is essential that all employees be familiar with the proper use of portable extinguishers and know when and when not to use them. In the event of a fire, employees should respond in accordance with their company’s fire-emergency plan.

Best Fire Equipment offers a number of ways for you to ensure that your business and your employees have the proper safety training in a number of areas.

Hands-On Live-Fire Extinguisher Training Classes

Classes are conducted at the customer’s site for up to 30 students per class. Each class runs for approximately 1 hour. See our Training Page for more details.
