At our DOT-licensed facility, certified shop technicians handle all recharging and hydrostatic testing for both high- and low-pressure extinguishers and cylinders—ensuring safety, compliance, and performance.

What's a Hydro Test?

In addition to annual inspections, fire extinguishers require a 6-year internal visual inspection to check for corrosion or damage inside the cylinder. At 12 years, they must undergo a hydrostatic pressure test ("Hydro Test") to confirm the integrity of the cylinder under pressure. Northland Fire performs both services in-house, keeping your equipment compliant, safe, and fully operational.

Types of Fire Extinguishers

abc fire extinguishers

ABC Dry Chemical - most commonly used fire extinguisher for general-purpose protection. It’s effective on Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (electrical) fires. The extinguisher uses a fine, non-conductive powder—typically monoammonium phosphate—that smothers flames and interrupts the chemical reaction of the fire. It's safe, reliable, and ideal for use in homes, offices, vehicles, and commercial spaces.

ansul sentry fire extinguisher

SENTRY - the most common type of fire extinguisher. When economy and performance are equally important, select from the SENTRY line of stored pressure, hand portable fire extinguishers. Agents include dry chemical, carbon dioxide, and water.

ansul red line fire extinguisher

RED LINE - cartridge-operated extinguishers are the premium firefighting units preferred by safety directors in high fire-risk industries. Agents include dry chemicals and powders.

ansul k-guard fire extinguisher

K-GUARD - fire extinguishers contain ANSULEX liquid fire suppressant to quickly knock down the flames, form a vapor-securing blanket, and cool the grease and surrounding surfaces.

clean guard extinguisher

CLEAN GUARD - hand portable fire extinguishers contain DuPoint FE-36 where the agent must clean, electrically non-conductive, environmentally friendly, extremely low toxicity and exceptionally effective.

ansul wheeled extinguisher

RED LINE WHEELED - extinguishers are designed to protect high fire-risk areas where the potential for large fires exists. Agents include dry chemicals, dry powders, carbon dioxide, and alcohol resistant AFFF. These units are typically used at airports, heavy industrial plants, refineries, pipelines, steel mills, paint spray booths, and manufacturing areas.

MULTIPURPOSE EXTINGUISHERS - Most portable extinguishers are rated for use with more than one classification of fire. For example, an extinguisher with a BC rating is suitable for use with fires involving flammable liquids and energized electrical equipment. An extinguisher with an ABC rating can be used for fires involving ordinary combustibles in addition to the B and C rated fires. An extinguisher that is rated for use with multiple hazards should include a symbol for each hazard type.
