Fire Extinguisher Inspection in Charlevoix
Across Charlevoix, your portable fire extinguishers sit in restaurant kitchens, inn lobbies and hotel guest floors in Baie-Saint-Paul, La Malbaie, Clermont and Saint-Siméon. We inspect and service them to NFPA-10 and the CNPI: 31-day visual checks, annual maintenance, internal examination at 6 years, hydrostatic test at 5 or 12 years depending on the type, and recharge when needed. We know the hospitality buildings this region runs on, from large sites like Le Massif and Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu down to the small village restaurant. Every extinguisher gets its tag, and all the tracking (deadlines, attestations, compliance by building) lives in Canuck360. One call to 418-905-3396 and it is handled.

Frequently asked questions
How often do my hotel or restaurant extinguishers need to be inspected?
NFPA-10 calls for a visual check "at intervals not exceeding 31 days" (§ 7.2.1.2), which your own staff can do, plus an annual maintenance by a technician (§ 7.3.2). On top of that, the internal examination happens at 6 years (§ 7.3.6) and the hydrostatic test at 5 or 12 years depending on the unit (§ 8.3.1). For a kitchen in La Malbaie or an inn in Baie-Saint-Paul, we schedule the annual and remind you of upcoming deadlines by building through Canuck360.
Do you also handle commercial kitchens and cooking lines?
Yes. Charlevoix restaurant kitchens need Class K extinguishers near the cooking appliances, alongside the suppression system over the grills and fryers. We confirm your Class K units are in place, charged and tagged to NFPA-10 and the CNPI. Call 418-905-3396 and we will come look at your kitchen.
