Portable Fire Extinguishers

Portable Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Service in Winnipeg and Manitoba

Portable fire extinguishers are your first line of defence in a fire emergency. When properly installed and maintained, they allow occupants to control small fires before they escalate — protecting lives, property, and business continuity.

At Pyrene Fire Security Manitoba, we provide professional fire extinguisher inspection, maintenance, hydrostatic testing, supply, and installation services throughout Winnipeg and across Manitoba.

With over 39 years of serving Manitoba businesses, we help ensure your facility remains compliant with the Manitoba Fire Code and NFPA 10 requirements.

Manitoba Fire Code & NFPA 10 Compliance

Under the Manitoba Fire Code and NFPA 10 – Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, commercial buildings must:

  • Install properly rated fire extinguishers

  • Conduct monthly visual inspections

  • Complete annual maintenance by a qualified technician

  • Perform required internal maintenance (6-year where applicable)

  • Conduct hydrostatic testing at prescribed intervals (5-year or 12-year, depending on type)

  • Maintain proper service tags and documentation

Failure to maintain compliant fire extinguishers can result in failed inspections, enforcement action, increased liability, and potential insurance concerns.

Our qualified technicians ensure your equipment is fully compliant, properly documented, and inspection-ready.
