Project Overview

International Fire Inc. completed an annual fire extinguisher inspection and certification for an office and retail property in Pacific Heights , San Francisco . The property included three businesses that required their portable fire extinguishers to be inspected, certified, and properly positioned as part of the building's annual fire protection service.

The Problem

The office and retail property was due for its annual fire extinguisher inspection .

During the service, each extinguisher was checked for proper placement, accessibility, and mounting, including applicable travel-distance considerations of up to 75 feet.
