Fire Extinguisher Tags & Certification

 In Tennessee, every business is required by law to have their fire extinguishers inspected and certified annually by a licensed fire protection company. 

After inspection, each extinguisher must display a current Tennessee fire extinguisher tag showing the date of service and the company that performed the inspection. Without this tag, your business may be out of compliance with the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office and local fire codes—putting your property, staff, and customers at risk.

 A fire extinguisher tag is more than just a tag—

it’s proof that your extinguishers are:

• Inspected and ready to use in an emergency.
• Up to date with NFPA 10 standards and Tennessee fire code requirements.
• Maintained by a licensed and insured fire protection company.

If your extinguishers don’t have a current tag, your business is not in compliance with State Fire Code. 

 Whether your business is located in Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Brentwood, Lebanon, Mt Juliet, or any surrounding Middle Tennessee community, fire extinguisher tag compliance is not optional—it’s the law.

Many business owners are surprised to learn they need an official inspection and tag each year.

If you’ve been relying on your staff to “check” extinguishers without professional certification, you may already be out of compliance.
