Chicago High Rise Fire Extinguisher Inspection Checklist

Commercial properties of all types including high rise buildings in big cities like Chicago require an experienced fire and safety company to ensure code compliant fire protection.  Fire extinguishers provide a critical first line of defense against fires becoming out of control causing devastating losses.  Maintaining functioning portable fire extinguishers in commercial properties is required and outlined in NFPA 10, the guidelines established by the National Fire Protection Association.
