fire extinguishers

Fire Extinguishers are your first line of defense. When a portable fire extinguisher is used to fight a small, contained fire, it extinguishes the fire usually within the first two minutes – significantly minimizing death, injury and property damage. They are often the first item a fire inspector looks at when checking for compliance. Why, then, should they be treated as less by your fire protection service provider? The answer is – they shouldn’t!

City Wide Fire Protection Services' portable fire extinguisher technicians are all NAFED Certified, licensed by the Chicago Fire Department and State of Illinois Fire Marshal. They are also well versed and practiced in the standards set forth by NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, 2010 Edition. 

Our monthly inspection, annual maintenance and on-demand service keeps you well protected, and our Fire Equipment Tracker Handheld Device documents each inspection to assure compliance and assist in budget forecasts for future service.

Because of our service standards, we are able to retain our customers for decades without binding them to a contract. We stand fully behind our work. If you care about honesty, integrity and the thoughtful manner in which your fire prevention services are conducted, you’ll be satisfied with City Wide Fire Protection Services.
