Fire Extinguisher Inspection in Quebec City
In Quebec City, portable fire extinguishers must be inspected under NFPA-10 and the National Fire Code (art. 6.2.1.1), and that is exactly what we handle. We cover the whole city from our local base: Vieux-Québec, Sainte-Foy, Beauport, Charlesbourg, Limoilou, Sillery, Cap-Rouge, Vanier and Loretteville. Whether you run a downtown office tower, a government or institutional building, an Université Laval or CEGEP pavilion, a restaurant or a condo building, we do the full job: 31-day visual inspection, annual maintenance, internal exam at 6 years, hydrostatic test at 5 or 12 years depending on the type and recharge when needed. Because we are close by, travel is short and we get there fast. Every building is tracked in Canuck360, which keeps your attestations, deadlines and compliance current. Call 418-905-3396.

Frequently asked questions
How often do portable fire extinguishers need to be inspected?
NFPA-10 calls for a visual inspection "at intervals not exceeding 31 days" (§ 7.2.1.2) and full maintenance once a year (§ 7.3.2). On top of that, there is an internal exam at 6 years (§ 7.3.6) and a hydrostatic test at 5 or 12 years depending on the unit type (§ 8.3.1). Recharge is done whenever an extinguisher has been used or has lost pressure.
Do you service buildings downtown and around Université Laval?
Yes. We are based in Quebec City, so we cover Vieux-Québec, Sainte-Foy, Beauport, Charlesbourg, Limoilou and the other boroughs without a long trip. We work regularly in office towers, government and institutional buildings, Université Laval and CEGEP pavilions, restaurants and condos.
How often do my extinguishers need to be checked?
NFPA-10 calls for an inspection of each extinguisher "at intervals not exceeding 31 days" (§ 7.2.1.2) and annual maintenance with an external examination (§ 7.3.2). Depending on the unit type, an internal examination is due at 6 years (§ 7.3.6) and a hydrostatic test at 5 or 12 years (§ 8.3.1). We tell you which deadlines apply to your units.
