Annual inspections, 6-year maintenance, hydrostatic testing, recharge, and NFPA 10 compliance documentation for strata, commercial, and institutional properties throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Fire extinguishers are a first-response tool in any fire emergency. To remain reliable, they require regular inspection, maintenance, and servicing according to NFPA 10 and BC Fire Code standards — not just a visual check or a new tag.
EWF provides fire extinguisher inspection and service for strata buildings, commercial properties, parkades, and institutional facilities throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland — with clear documentation and compliance-ready records.
All extinguisher services performed in accordance with NFPA 10 and applicable BC Fire Code requirements.
Fire extinguisher compliance involves more than an annual tag. EWF provides the full range of inspection, maintenance, and service required by NFPA 10 and the BC Fire Code.
A tag on a fire extinguisher confirms it was inspected — but inspection quality matters. An extinguisher that is low on pressure, improperly mounted, blocked from access, or past its service life may fail when it's needed most.
NFPA 10 requires annual inspection, 6-year internal maintenance, and hydrostatic pressure testing at intervals that vary by extinguisher type. Non-compliant extinguishers can create liability for building owners and may not be recognized as adequate by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
EWF provides clear documentation of each unit's condition, service history, and required follow-up — giving property managers and strata councils a complete record for AHJ inspections and insurance purposes.
Locate and inventory all extinguishers on the property. Check type, rating, placement, mounting, and service history.
Check pressure, tamper seal, pin, physical condition, and accessibility. Identify any units requiring service, recharge, or replacement.
Perform 6-year maintenance, hydrostatic testing, or recharge as required. Replace units that are damaged, outdated, or past service life.
Apply updated compliance tags and provide inspection records, deficiency notes, and recommendations for AHJ-ready property documentation.
