FIRE PROTECTION, DONE RIGHT. FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME.
We close the loop on compliance. Fire-Alert Vancouver inspects your fire and life-safety equipment, reports deficiencies in plain language, fixes what can be fixed on site, and leaves your documentation with you the same day. One visit, handled.
OUR PROCESS
HOW FIRE-ALERT WORKS
One visit that inspects, reports, and resolves. Three steps, every time.
01 — HAVE US COME IN
Book an annual inspection, or start with a free site audit and we will walk your building with you.
02 — WE INSPECT AND REPORT
Every system on the list, checked properly, not just tagged. You get a written report of exactly what we found, in plain language.
03 — WE FIX IT AND CERTIFY
Where a deficiency can be corrected during the visit, we correct it during the visit. Equipment tagged, documentation in your hands for the fire department and your insurer.
Services
ANNUAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Every extinguisher inspected and maintained to NFPA 10, with the inspection tag updated and a written report of anything found. We track your dates, so nothing is discovered expired during a fire department visit.
6-YEAR MAINTENANCE AND RECHARGE
At the six-year mark each unit is emptied, examined internally, recharged, and returned to service, as NFPA 10 requires. We quote it before the date arrives, so it is a line item, not a surprise.
HYDROSTATIC TESTING
The pressure test of the cylinder itself, on its NFPA 10 cycle, for dry chemical units from 2 to 30 lb and high-pressure cylinders. A unit that failed its hydrostatic test cannot be certified and has to come out of service.
COORDINATED THROUGH TRUSTED PARTNERS
Four systems in most buildings are serviced by our third-party partners, specialists in their own fields. Fire-Alert Vancouver coordinates this work as part of your program: scheduling, site access, and one combined report, so you deal with one company and hold one set of records. We do not perform sprinkler work in-house, and we will always tell you plainly who is performing each part of the work.

REVIEWS
SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
What one customer said about working with Hasan and the Vancouver team.
“Called around and got several different prices for extinguishers to be tagged, these guys had the best price and was the most help explaining everything and gave me a quote the same day, arrived the next afternoon and fixed the previous company I had recharge my extinguishers but failed to do it correctly so they leaked, thankfully Hasan and his team cleaned and sealed them correctly, very easy to deal with and professionals you can trust, thank-you.”

INSIGHTS
FIRE SAFETY, EXPLAINED
Practical fire-safety reading from the Fire-Alert team.
EXTINGUISHER PLACEMENT
The right unit for the hazard, in the right place. Every unit left accessible, visible, and properly signed.
READING AN INSPECTION TAG
We update the inspection tag on every visit and track your dates, so nothing is discovered expired during a fire department visit.
DEFICIENCY REPORTS
A written report of every deficiency in plain language, delivered the same day, with corrections made on site wherever possible. Nothing waits for a second visit that was never booked.
-
Your own team should visually check each extinguisher monthly: gauge in the green, pin and seal in place, no damage, and clear access. A qualified professional must then perform annual maintenance on every unit, per NFPA 10 as required by BC Fire Code section 6.2. Every six years each unit is due internal maintenance, and on its longer cycle it is due a hydrostatic test, a pressure test of the cylinder itself. We track all of these dates for you and quote renewals before they come due, so nothing is discovered expired during an inspection by the fire department.
-
Once a year, every emergency light unit is run on its battery for the full test duration of 30 minutes, not a brief button press. Units that fail, dim, or do not last the duration are recorded as deficiencies, and we repair or replace them so the building is not left with exit routes that go dark in an outage. Between annual tests, monthly function checks confirm each unit still lights.
-
A walk of your building covering the fire alarm panel, the sprinkler system, kitchen suppression, fire doors, and your fire safety plan, along with the extinguishers and emergency lighting we see on the way. Afterwards you receive a clear written summary of what we found and what, if anything, needs attention. There is no charge and no obligation. The full detail is on the Free Site Audit page.
-
Anyone responsible for a commercial building's fire and life-safety compliance: property managers, strata managers and strata councils, building owners, and operators of retail, restaurant, warehouse, office, and multi-unit residential buildings. The service is designed for portfolios as much as for single buildings, because the same annual dates repeat across every property you carry.
-
Call 778-951-8926, send the form on this page, or book a free site audit online. We agree a time that works around your building's operations, attend, inspect, and fix on site where possible. You receive your documentation the same day, and we track your next annual dates from there.
