Vehicle Fire Suppression System
Inspection, Service and Repair

Vehicle fire systems are required to be inspected and maintained in accordance with NFPA 121, NFPA 72 and the manufacturers’ installation manual. Our highly trained technicians can inspect and service all types of vehicle fire suppression systems.

Our software system will keep a record of when inspections are due so you never have to worry about being delinquent on required inspections. We can also provide training in the proper use and maintenance of your system so in a fire situation everyone will be prepared to respond appropriately.

Inspections are performed using Fire Systems, Inc. technicians, without sub-contracting. We do not depend on another company for our expertise, we use our own technicians to inspect and repair your vehicle fire suppression system; this gives us better control over the quality of service we are able to provide. When you call Fire Systems, Inc. we put you in contact with an individual specifically trained to address your fire protection needs.

Fire Systems, Inc. provides twenty-four hour service for recharge and repair of your vehicle fire suppression system to help you to minimize downtime and keep your machines running. We can make any necessary repairs on site. At Fire Systems, Inc. we understand the importance of service after the sale. We also provide training on the operation and maintenance of your vehicle fire suppression system and a comprehensive inspection and preventative maintenance program.

Most vehicles have portable fire extinguishers in addition to the fire suppression system. Fire Systems, Inc. has the ability to inspect the fire extinguishers while we are inspecting your vehicle fire suppression system. We can save you time and money by eliminating the coordination problems that arise when dealing with multiple companies to provide service on your fire protection equipment.
