Protect Your Property, Maintain Compliance, and Clear Violations in 48 Hours or Less.
Fire extinguishers are your first line of defense in an emergency. In New York, strict adherence to NFPA 10 standards and FDNY regulations is not optional. Failure to maintain properly charged and inspected extinguishers can lead to costly violations and, more importantly, put your occupants at risk.

|---|---|---|---|
| ABC Dry Chemical | Class A, B, C | Offices, retail, general use | Every 75 feet for Class A; 50 feet for Class B |
| CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) | Class B, C | Electrical rooms, server rooms | Near electrical panels and equipment |
| Class K Wet Chemical | Class K | Commercial kitchens | Within 30 feet of cooking appliances |
| Dry Powder | Class D | Metal fabrication, industrial shops | Near combustible metal processing |
Total Fire Protection keeps your property safe and compliant. We also prevent violations while providing expert fire extinguisher service.
We're not the cheapest option. We're the reliable option. Properties with high occupancy loads, critical operations, or strict insurance requirements require a service provider that arrives on time and completes work correctly the first time.
With over 20+ years of fire protection experience across NYC's five boroughs, Long Island, and New Jersey, we understand local fire codes, FDNY requirements, and building-specific challenges.
We educate facilities teams on fire safety best practices and FDNY violations, not just sell services. Our educational approach helps you understand compliance requirements and maintain documentation that meets insurance carriers' requirements.
Older dry chemical systems installed before 1994 do not meet UL 300 standards. We upgrade legacy systems to UL 300-compliant wet chemical protection.
We resolve critical compliance issues before they escalate into fines or closures:

Incorrect placement triggers violations during FDNY inspections. We place ABC extinguishers at 75-foot intervals for Class A hazards and at 50-foot intervals for Class B hazards. Class K extinguishers must be kept within 30 feet of cooking equipment.
Technicians disassemble units, inspect internal components, refill or recharge agents, and replace damaged parts. This level of maintenance prevents failures during emergencies.
Insurance carriers require proof of compliance. Our digital records provide the documentation needed during policy renewals or after incidents.
NFPA 10 requires monthly visual inspections and annual professional maintenance. Stored-pressure extinguishers require an internal inspection every six years. Hydrostatic testing occurs every 12 years for dry chemical units.
The FDNY issues VC51 violations for failure to inspect or tag extinguishers. You have 30 days to correct the violation before fines escalate.
Total Fire Protection provides a 48-hour response for urgent violations. We inspect all extinguishers, replace defective units, update tags, and submit compliance documentation to the FDNY.
Yes. NFPA 10 specifies extinguisher types based on fire hazards. Offices need ABC dry chemical units. Commercial kitchens require Class K extinguishers. Server rooms require CO2 or clean-agent extinguishers.
Documented compliance lowers risk ratings and often qualifies for premium reductions. Properties with violation histories face coverage drops or rate increases.
Fire extinguisher violations shut down businesses, increase insurance costs, and create liability risks. Total Fire Protection delivers proactive inspections, rapid violation removal, and documented compliance to keep your property protected.
