BROOKLYN, NY — Ace Fire Protection, a family-owned fire safety company based in Brooklyn, offers packages that combine fire extinguisher inspections with basic extinguisher-use training for staff and volunteers. The packages are available to schools, daycare centers, and houses of worship in Brooklyn. Each package pairs an equipment check with a short orientation session held at the facility.
The New York City Fire Code requires recurring inspections of fire extinguishers in community buildings. Section 115-02 of Title 3 of the Rules of the City of New York calls for monthly visual checks and annual maintenance of portable fire extinguishers. Buildings that serve children and large groups of visitors often rely on rotating staff or volunteers, and not every person on site may know how to operate an extinguisher or where units are located.
Under these packages, Ace Fire Protection technicians perform on-site fire extinguisher inspections. Monthly-style checks confirm each unit is present, accessible, and correctly mounted, and include pressure gauge readings, pin and tamper seal condition, and visible damage. Annual work includes an internal examination, weight verification, hose and nozzle assessment, and replacing seals as needed. Each extinguisher receives an updated inspection tag, and the company keeps service records that facility managers can use for audit purposes.
The training component is designed as a basic orientation rather than a certification course. Staff and volunteers learn to recognize the main extinguisher types, read a unit’s label and gauge, and use the standard pull, aim, squeeze, and sweep method. The session also covers when to evacuate instead of attempting to fight a fire. Ace Fire Protection is an FDNY-approved company (FDNY refers to the Fire Department of the City of New York) and states that its work follows guidelines from the Fire Department, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Fire Protection Association.
“Many schools and houses of worship keep their extinguishers current on paper, but the people in the building may never have held one,” said Jack Shammah, Owner of Ace Fire Protection. “Pairing the inspection with a short walkthrough for staff and volunteers lets us check the equipment and show people where it is and how it works in the same visit.”
