Fire Alarm Inspections
According to current law and National Fire Protection Association standards, fire alarms should be inspected by a qualified professional quarterly, semiannually, or annually depending on the type of equipment installed. At Foothill Fire Protection, we offer comprehensive fire alarm inspections that evaluate the condition of every part of the system, including the fire alarm, control panel, pull stations, annunciators, smoke detectors, duct detectors, heat detectors, and more.
Fire Sprinkler Inspections
Fire sprinklers offer around-the-clock fire safety for your commercial or residential building. To make sure they will work properly when you need them, they should be inspected monthly and quarterly, with full professional testing performed annually. At Foothill Fire Protection, we offer monthly and quarterly fire sprinkler inspections, as well as all your annual, five-year, and 10-year inspections. We service both commercial and residential fire sprinklers.
Fire Extinguisher Inspections
An empty or damaged fire extinguisher is no help in an emergency. Over time, fire extinguishers can leak, lose pressure, or even corrode, so it is important to have qualified personnel check them monthly and have a professional inspection performed at least once a year. Our team at Foothill Fire Protection offers fire extinguisher inspections throughout the Bay Area, and we can also assess the locations and types of fire extinguishers installed to ensure you have the best protection possible.

Safety Inspection FAQs
Professional safety inspections should be performed quarterly and annually for most fire protection systems, with more thorough testing performed every five or 10 years, depending on the system. Weekly and monthly inspections can be performed in-house by specially trained personnel for equipment like fire sprinklers or fire extinguishers.
A fire safety professional will inspect all your fire protection equipment, like fire alarms, fire sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and fire suppression systems, looking for any defects or damage that could inhibit its ability to perform during an emergency. Critical components like fire pumps and fire alarms will also be tested for proper operation.
If a fire is discovered early enough, a working fire extinguisher can put it out quickly before it has a chance to spread and cause more extensive damage. But if a fire extinguisher isn’t fully charged or it doesn’t work properly, it can increase the chance of property damage and injuries. Regular inspections help you to spot faulty fire extinguishers and have them recharged, repaired, or replaced.
In addition to faulty fire protection equipment, fire safety inspections can help you spot hazards like materials stacked too close to sprinkler heads, blocked emergency exits, faulty emergency lighting, incorrectly stored flammable materials, or insufficient clearance near electrical panels. All of these items can increase your risk of fires, injuries, and property damage.
