Proper placement is as important as having the right extinguisher. Units are installed at the correct height, travel distance, and mounting location per NFPA 10 and Miami-Dade fire code requirements.
Having the right fire extinguisher is only half the requirement. NFPA 10 sets specific requirements for where extinguishers must be mounted, how high off the floor, and how far they can be from the nearest hazard. Improper placement can result in a fire marshal citation even when the units themselves are fully serviced.
Placement requirements vary based on the hazard class present in each area of your property. A warehouse with flammable liquids has different travel distance requirements than an office with ordinary combustibles. Kitchen areas with cooking equipment require Class K units positioned within specific distances of the cooking equipment per NFPA 96.
A site assessment is performed before installation to identify the correct number of units, types, ratings, and placement locations for your property. Units are then mounted at the correct height with proper hardware, positioned for clear visibility and unobstructed access.
Installation is available as a standalone service or combined with extinguisher sales. Available across all Miami-Dade cities including Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Coral Gables, Kendall, Miami Beach, Homestead, and Aventura.
