Smarter Fire Extinguisher Management with Inspect Point: Automate Service Tracking and Stay Ahead of Compliance

by | May 1, 2025

Staying compliant with extinguisher maintenance requirements can be time-consuming and error-prone—especially when teams are juggling hundreds or thousands of extinguishers. With Inspect Point,  fire protection contractors can now automatically calculate and manage service dates, track service history in real-time, and use data to plan proactively.

Whether you’re a technician in the field or a manager in the back office, these new features help you streamline service, boost accuracy, and drive efficiency across your operation.

Overview: How It Works

Inspect Point’s mobile app makes fire extinguisher inspections more intelligent and efficient than ever. Here’s how:

  1. Technicians select the extinguisher type and service performed during an inspection.
  2. The app automatically calculates the next due date based on NFPA service intervals.
  3. A new service plan & history table tracks past and future service dates for each unit.
  4. Teams can override or adjust dates as needed, and everything is stored in one place.
  5. All data flows into the comprehensive extinguisher reports, helping office staff manage maintenance schedules and inventory at scale.

In the Field: Fast, Accurate, and Mobile

Technicians no longer need to guess when the next hydro test or 6-year maintenance is due.

Once a service is performed, Inspect Point:

  • Sets today’s date as the last performed date
  • Projects the next due date based on the extinguisher type and service interval
  • Automatically updates the service history table for that unit

The result? Faster inspections, fewer errors, and more time saved per job.

In the Office: Plan Ahead with the Extinguisher Projection Report

Inspect Point doesn’t just help in the field—it also gives back-office teams a powerful tool to manage inventory and upcoming service needs with the Extinguisher Projection Report.

This report provides:

  • A centralized view of all extinguishers with upcoming service dates
  • Filters by customer, office, technician, or service type
  • A snapshot of units coming due in the next 30, 60, 90, or 365 days
  • The ability to identify missing or outdated records, so nothing slips through the cracks

Whether you’re scheduling your team, preparing proposals, or communicating with customers, this report turns service data into actionable insights.

The Benefits

  • No more manual calculations – The app handles the math, so your team doesn’t have to
  • Accurate service tracking – Know exactly when each extinguisher is due for maintenance
  • Streamlined scheduling – Office staff can prioritize upcoming service visits with ease
  • Stronger compliance – Stay ahead of regulations with real-time, reliable data
