Fire extinguishers are a fast and effective first-response solution to fires. Correctly positioned and maintained, these simple devices can often stop a fire before it has a chance to spread. At Fire Systems of Michigan, our fire prevention and protection specialists can help ensure your business is protected and code compliant.
Fire Extinguisher Installation Options
Many NFPA, building, and local codes and regulations stipulate where and how to install fire extinguishers in your building. At Fire Systems of Michigan, we can help you navigate these requirements and ensure your systems are code compliant.
Fire extinguishers can be installed using a wide variety of methods. These include:
- Fire extinguisher brackets: These are mounted to the wall and position the canister in a visible, accessible location.
- Fire extinguisher cabinets: These cabinets house the canister behind breakable glass doors that protect the canister from tampering.
- Portable fire extinguisher stands: Stands make it easy to reposition the canister as the needs of the facility change and evolve.
