Maine Fire Protection Systems

“How long does the typical business inspection take?”

That depends on the size of the building and the complexity of the system. In many cases, a small facility with a simple fire alarm system can be fully inspected in about an hour. Larger buildings or properties with multiple systems and locations may take significantly longer, sometimes up to a couple of days to complete a thorough test.

Our goal is always to work efficiently while minimizing disruptions to your operations.

What happens if a fire extinguisher isn’t inspected regularly?

Short answer: you may not know it won’t work—until it’s too late.

Fire extinguishers require routine inspections and maintenance to ensure they’re fully charged, accessible, and ready for use. Even small issues like pressure loss or blockage can make them ineffective.

Here’s what’s required:
-Monthly visual inspections
-Annual maintenance checks
-Internal inspections every 5–6 years (depending on type)
-Hydrostatic testing on a set schedule

Why does it matter?

Because extinguishers are often your first line of defense in a fire.

If they fail, the situation escalates fast.

Ever wonder why your fire alarm system needs to be inspected every year?

It’s not just a recommendation.
It’s a requirement.

Fire alarm systems are governed by NFPA 72, which sets the standard for inspection, testing, and maintenance. The State of Maine has adopted this code, making annual inspections mandatory for most commercial buildings.

Here’s what that includes:
-Testing alarm signals and communication
-Checking smoke and heat detectors
-Verifying pull stations and notification devices
-Ensuring the system communicates with monitoring services

Why annually?

An annual inspection helps make sure your system works when it matters most.
