Are annual fire extinguisher inspections required for businesses in Colorado?

Per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) regulations, annual fire extinguisher inspections are required. Simply having fire extinguishers present in a business is not sufficient enough when protecting against fire.  Alike other safety systems, fire extinguishers also require inspection and maintenance. In order to remain functional, professional testing or replacement is required. Not only do we maintain extinguishers, we also provide expertise on the placement and types of extinguishers required for specific areas and situations. Complications such as blocked, damaged, misplaced, or missing extinguishers, are all preventable by periodic fire inspections. Overall, having fire extinguishers maintained professionally is imperative for keeping people and property safe.
