About Us

Fire Equipment Inspector we inspect and maintain fire equipment. Such Fire Alarms, Fire Sprinklers, Fire Hydrants, Fire Extinguishers, Exit Lights, & Backflows.

Call us a one stop shop for all your fire Inspections. There is a 30% savings in utilizing one contractor compared to using multiple.

All business, residential, industrial complexes require our services annually.

Our ideal client would be apartments, condos, hotels, motels, mfg plants, big box stores, retail / distributor / wholesale chains throughout Western Canada.

Three unique services that we provide is that we can service fire extinguishers remotely.

We have our own Fire Truck for servicing drafting Hydrants attached to reservoirs, pools, and underground tanks.

We provide an electronic barcodes report that we supply within 15 minutes of our inspection this allowing our clients to see their inspection results asap.

I look forward to answering any questions you may have.

How We Got Started

I moved from Millwrighr to Project Management. Prior startup I managed and coordinated 2500 subtrade a across Canada for a major natural gas client supping 185 different services. Logging in over 25,000 subcontracted manhours without a lost time accident.

We received excellent services from a majority of the subtrades we used, Even better services from subtrades who were diversified in their service offering.

We identified a 30% savings in subtrades offering multiple service offerings during day of project due to additional manpower, transportation, and subsistence.

Due to slow internet connections and connectivity mid 1990's data was entered 3-4x - this was reduced as our electronic age slowly implemented newer strategies.

The last issue was inspection reporting. Our subtrades would hold us over a barrel for payment prior to issuing their paper inspection reports.

Time for a change.

Prior it, smaller vehicles that would typically go through brakes and tires every 6 months plus the odd transmission every 5-6 years.

Directories are the worst including YellowPages or the like. Facebook and Google just as bad. I have one client that is increasing the number of trucks every 6 months due to TV media “I should have done that years ago” - I’m now seeking a company to shoot a video(s) for doing the same.  (more) Directories are the worst including YellowPages or the like.

(more) This is our offering exactly. Albeit a different niche. We provide onsite services for fire equipment (fire extinguishers, fire alarms, fire sprinklers, Backflows, etc) - if u ask nicely I can even break out the welder and bring my millwright skillsets to the table.  Reviewing the comments, I have a business license as well as the commercial general liability insurance if something does go a wry. If you really look at it, there is a huge savings of having an onsite service compared to a dealership. Both of us carry the same parts, the savings consist of your time gained. I come to you at a limited expense, compared to you taking your equipment to a dealer, waiting for them to service your equipment, and then arranging To pick up your equipment.  Our rates may be equivalent, in the end a 30% savings is identified. Your time doing what you do best while we work and maintain your equipment - typically completed same day.  In addition to our services, we want you to see what we see - if we come across a problem or something needs repair we identify it in real time, identify cost and solutions, and wham - it’s done today.  For example, we serviced a client that 100 extinguishers on their farm, 1.5 hours away from competitive service company. How much time would it take you to gather all your extinguishers, load them in a truck, drive them to service center, off load. Wait for inspections to be completed. Service what needed service. Receive call from vendor. Drive to vendor. Load truck, pay vendor, drive back to farm. Redistribute extinguishers.  I will let you do the math - but I guarantee that my service is 30% cheaper guaranteed once you calculate all the variables.

On your feet all day, - concrete floor below that thin tradeshow rug. I digress, BOTH!
