Fire Extinguishers: Your First Line of Defense
Fire extinguishers are the first line of defense against a fire emergency. They can contain a small fire before it grows out of control, protecting your property and lives. At Firecode, we offer a complete range of extinguisher services to ensure you have the right equipment, properly placed, and ready to use:
- Sales & Selection: Our fire safety experts will help you choose the right extinguisher type (water, foam, CO2, etc.) for your specific needs. We consider factors like the type of potential fires in your space, electrical hazards, and ease of use. By selecting the appropriate extinguisher, you can ensure you have the most effective tool to combat an emergency.
- Installation: Our technicians will ensure your extinguishers are properly mounted and easily accessible in high-visibility locations. We’ll also consider traffic flow and potential obstacles to guarantee you can reach an extinguisher quickly in a stressful situation.
- Inspection & Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial for extinguisher functionality. Our certified technicians will perform thorough inspections to identify any damage or pressure issues. We’ll also perform necessary maintenance to keep your extinguishers in top condition, ready to extinguish a fire the moment you need them.
- Training: We offer fire extinguisher training to empower you and your staff to use extinguishers effectively in an emergency. Knowing how to properly operate an extinguisher can make a critical difference in containing a fire and ensuring everyone’s safety. Our training sessions are informative, hands-on, and tailored to your specific fire extinguisher types.
Our fire extinguishers are designed to meet and exceed codes for California fire prevention. Make us your next choice for quality results we hope you’ll never need, but will be there if you do.
Different Classes of Fire Extinguishers
Not all fire extinguishers are created equal. The right extinguisher type depends on the class of fire you’re most likely to encounter:
- Class A: Ordinary combustibles like wood, paper, and textiles. These fires are best extinguished with water or water mist extinguishers.
- Class B: Flammable liquids like gasoline and oil. Foam or CO2 extinguishers are ideal for smothering these fires and preventing reignition.
- Class C: Electrical fires. Only use a CO2 extinguisher for electrical fires, as water can conduct electricity and worsen the situation.
- Class K: Kitchen fires involving grease and fats. Kitchen fires require special wet chemical extinguishers that can saponify (turn into soap) the burning fats to extinguish the fire.
Our experts will guide you in selecting the most suitable fire extinguishers for your property, ensuring you have the right tool to fight any potential fire emergency.
Backflow Prevention: Protecting Our Water Supply
Backflow refers to the contaminated water siphoning back into the clean water supply. This can happen due to pressure changes or cross-connection between contaminated and potable water lines.

Exit Lights: Illuminating the Way to Safety
Exit lights are critical lifesavers in a fire emergency. During a fire, smoke and darkness can quickly disorient building occupants, making escape difficult. Exit lights, with their self-illuminating properties, provide a clear path to safety even in low-visibility conditions. At Firecode, we offer comprehensive exit light services to ensure your Yuba City property is equipped for safe evacuation:
- Installation: Our certified technicians will install exit lights strategically throughout your building, following all local fire codes. We’ll ensure proper spacing and visibility from all areas.
