The standard multi-purpose choice for commercial, residential, and industrial environments. We provide NFPA 10 certified inspections, tags, recharges, and hydrostatic testing for ABC extinguishers in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.

Because they handle almost all common office, retail, and apartment fire risks, local Albuquerque fire codes mandate ABC fire extinguishers along corridors and within spaces based on exact travel distance rules (usually 75 feet maximum). FSI New Mexico helps ensure your building meets these requirements through certified annual inspections and reliable placement advice.
