March Fire Safety Specials: Protect Your Home & Business for Less

Fire safety is something most people don’t think about until it’s too late. Having the right fire protection equipment in place—whether at home or in your business—can mean the difference between a minor incident and a total disaster. This month, we’re offering special deals to make sure you’re covered where it matters most.


🔥 2.5lb ABC Fire Extinguishers – Just $20 Each! Perfect for homes, offices, and vehicles, these compact yet powerful extinguishers provide quick action against small fires. Each unit includes an annual certification tag to ensure code compliance.



💡 Emergency & Exit Light Special – Up to 20% OFF for New Customers Proper emergency lighting is essential for guiding people to safety during power outages, fires, or other emergencies. We’re offering new customers up to 20% off all emergency and exit lighting sales and services this month!


Why a 2.5lb Fire Extinguisher Is a Must-Have

Most businesses are required to have larger 5lb or 10lb extinguishers for compliance, but what about personal safety at home or in your vehicle? A 2.5lb ABC fire extinguisher is small enough to be stored in a kitchen cabinet, car trunk, or garage while still providing the same fire-fighting capabilities as its larger counterparts.


Common uses for a 2.5lb fire extinguisher:

✅ Kitchen fires (excluding grease fires – use K-Class for those)

✅ Small electrical fires in offices or homes

✅ Garage or vehicle-related fires

✅ Workshops or hobby spaces where small sparks could lead to flames


Having an extinguisher within arm’s reach can stop a small fire before it turns into a costly, dangerous situation.


The Importance of Emergency & Exit Lighting

When a fire or power outage happens, visibility is critical. Emergency and exit lights ensure that occupants can quickly find exits and evacuate safely. These lights are especially important in businesses, apartment buildings, and commercial properties where safety codes require them to be fully operational at all times.


💡 Common Issues with Emergency Lighting:

  • Dead or weak backup batteries
  • Burned-out bulbs or LED failures
  • Improper placement or non-functioning units

Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to keeping these systems working when they’re needed most. If your emergency lighting hasn't been checked in a while, now is the time to schedule a service!
