Commercial Fire Protection Services in Detroit
Detroit is home to everything from ground-floor restaurants and nightlife to high-rise offices, warehouses, and converted industrial space. Each of those building types carries its own extinguisher requirements, and we size and place equipment accordingly rather than handing every customer the same 5 lb ABC unit.
Fire Extinguisher Inspection, Tagging and Recharge
Annual documented inspection and certification tagging for every extinguisher in your Detroit building. We check pressure, hoses, pull pins, seals, mounting height and travel distances, then recharge, service or replace any unit that fails. Hydrostatic testing is coordinated when a cylinder reaches its interval.
Fire Extinguisher Sales and Installation
Commercial-grade ABC dry chemical units in 5 and 10 lb sizes, CO₂ extinguishers for electrical and server rooms, Class K units for commercial kitchens, and specialty agents where the hazard calls for it. We mount everything at code-compliant heights per NFPA 10 and your local Detroit fire code, with proper signage.
Emergency Lighting Inspection and Testing
Annual functional testing of every fixture, including the full 90-minute battery load test required under NFPA 101. We replace weak and failed batteries, repair fixtures, and upgrade older units to LED to cut maintenance calls.
Exit Sign Installation, Repair and Replacement
Code-compliant placement and wiring, LED replacements, combination exit and emergency light units, and repairs to bulbs, batteries, and housings throughout your Detroit facility.
Fire Code and OSHA Compliance Programs
OSHA safety signage, monthly inspection walk-through programs, and ongoing preventative maintenance with the documentation to back it up. We keep your records organized so a compliance check is a non-event.

Fire Code Compliance Requirements for Detroit Businesses
Commercial properties in Detroit and the rest of Wayne County are subject to the Michigan Fire Prevention Code along with locally adopted standards. In practice, that means a few recurring obligations:
- Annual extinguisher maintenance. Every portable extinguisher needs a documented yearly inspection by a qualified professional, with a dated tag on the unit.
- Monthly visual checks. Your staff should confirm each month that extinguishers are in place, unobstructed, and showing proper pressure. We provide the log sheets.
- Hydrostatic testing. Cylinders require pressure testing at set intervals based on type, typically every 5 or 12 years.
- 90-minute emergency lighting test. Emergency lights must stay illuminated for a full 90 minutes on battery, verified annually and documented.
- Illuminated, unobstructed exit signage. Exit paths must be marked and lit, including during a power failure.
Failing any of these can mean a re-inspection, a citation, or an insurance problem after a loss. Keeping up with them is inexpensive by comparison.
