Fire Extinguishers & Hoses

Fire extinguishers and fire hoses are a fundamental installation in any premises, and are your primary resources when a fire strikes. We can perform the required annual tests on all of your fire safety equipment, and ensure it’s always in good working order. Regular maintenance helps us to identify any problems and catch them before they get any worse.

Here at Compliance Fire Protection Services, our team of highly skilled technicians have all the relevant training to ensure your fire extinguishers and fire hoses are in line with current NFPA standards, and can advise you on any necessary maintenance work.
