Of course the right equipment, for the right circumstance, is key to circumventing a crisis at a moments notice. You schedule regular maintenance on your fire extinguishers to keep your equipment up to code. BUT equally important is having trained staff who are confident in using the equipment in the proper way. 3 Alarm Fire & Safety offers staff training by certified technicians, thorughout the Inland Empire. We are committed to both educating employees on fire safety & offering hands-on training of fire extinguishers used within your building.
