Fire Alarm & Extinguisher Inspection / Tagging
A fire extinguisher or alarm that has not been checked is only a hope. Inspections confirm that devices are charged, accessible and working, and the tags show your insurer, landlord or inspector that the work was done. NorTech connects you with vetted independent providers who test and tag the equipment and set their own price.

What an extinguisher inspection checks
An inspector confirms that each unit is the right type for its location, mounted where people can reach it and fully charged according to the gauge. They check the pin and tamper seal, the hose and nozzle, the label and any signs of corrosion or damage. Units that are due for maintenance, recharge or hydrostatic testing are flagged. Each extinguisher gets a dated tag, and a report notes which ones passed and which need follow-up. Mounting height, clear access and a visible sign are part of the check, so make sure nothing is stacked in front of the units.
Alarm panels, detectors and emergency lighting
Smoke and heat detectors, alarm panels, pull stations and emergency lights all need regular testing to confirm that signals reach the panel and sirens work. Batteries and sensors wear out, and dust or humidity can cause nuisance alarms. A tech tests each device, records the results and corrects simple faults on the spot. Larger systems may require a licensed fire protection contractor, and the inspector will tell you when that applies. If you manage a rental, give tenants notice, because testing sets off horns and may require access to each unit.
Records for insurers, landlords and inspectors
Many insurers, landlords and local fire authorities expect annual inspections and a clear record. Keep the inspection report, the tags and the service dates together, because you may need them after a loss or a visit from the fire marshal. If a device fails, fix it promptly and schedule a retest. Ask the provider how long the tag is valid and when the next inspection is due. A simple binder or folder with the reports and tags keeps everything in one place and saves time at your next renewal or audit.
