Installation FAQ
Atomic’s licensed techs consider the most reasonable places to place fire extinguishers in commercial buildings. We focus on spacing between extinguishers and ways to evacuate the building. If there is a fire, we don’t want extinguishers stuck in the middle, away from the exits.
NFPA 10 designates extinguisher requirements anywhere from 4” – 60”, depending on the extinguisher size. For example, during an emergency it can be hard to pull down a 20# fire extinguisher at 5 foot tall. We mount extinguishers at the height that is most accessible for staff, but still within the code.
Atomic Fire Protection follows NFPA standards on installation and inspections. Additionally, Oklahoma requires green tags for good extinguishers, yellow tags for extinguishers with a deficiency and red tags for extinguishers that are inoperable or should be replaced.
Typical extinguisher installation takes a few minutes. If we are mounting it on a vehicle such as a forklift or dozer, it may take 10-15 minutes.
The number of extinguishers depends on the size of the building and the likely hazards, as there are specific extinguishers for different hazards. Contact us for a consultation and quote!

Inspections FAQ
We examine the customer’s location, ensuring practical placement of extinguishers, that the hose is in good condition, that the pressure gauge is in the optimal zone, and that the extinguisher is in overall good physical condition. Then we replace the seal and recertify the extinguisher.
Fire extinguishers should be checked monthly by the customer and recertified annually by a licensed technician.
In Oklahoma, a licensed technician is the only person who can recertify extinguishers.
Beginning 2025, all licensed technicians are required to have ICC NAFED certification. Additionally, technicians must renew their licenses annually through the State Fire Marshal’s office and be employed by a licensed company.
A typical inspection is $25 for a fire extinguisher. The more extinguishers the customer has, the lower the cost per extinguisher. For example, if a customer has 10 extinguishers, we charge $12 per extinguisher inspection.
Atomic offers annual fire extinguisher inspections, but customers should check the fire extinguishers monthly.
Hydrostatic testing involves relieving the pressure of the extinguisher and conducting an internal inspection – a light is put inside the extinguisher and the tech examines the inside for any corrosion. The extinguisher is then filled with water and pressurized to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure for hydro testing, while in a closed cage. If there is any pressure drop, the extinguisher must be condemned from service and replaced.
Yes, the extinguisher itself contains the record of internal inspections and hydrotesting. At installation, we place a neck collar and inspection sticker on the extinguisher. The neck collar is of a smaller size that can only be put on with the extinguisher head off.
