Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Protection Services
Inspection frequency varies by system type and local jurisdiction. Under NFPA 25, water-based fire protection systems — including sprinklers and fire pumps — require quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspections depending on the component. Fire alarm systems are typically inspected annually under NFPA 72, while portable fire extinguishers require a visual check monthly and a formal annual inspection per NFPA 10.
When a system fails inspection, the inspector documents each deficiency in a written report. AFS provides a corrective action plan with estimated timelines and costs. Depending on the severity of the deficiency, your local AHJ may require immediate corrective action or allow a reasonable time period to complete repairs. Our technicians work quickly to restore your system to full compliance and keep you informed throughout the process.
