Fire Protection Company
Broward County

The required services depend on your occupancy type, square footage, and the specific municipality within Broward County where your property is located. At minimum, virtually every commercial property in Broward requires annual fire extinguisher inspection to NFPA 10. Properties with fire alarm systems require annual testing to NFPA 72. Commercial kitchens require semi-annual hood suppression inspections under NFPA 96. Properties with sprinkler systems require annual flow testing and certification. We assess your property and tell you exactly what is required and at what schedule, based on your specific location and occupancy type.

Yes. Florida law requires fire protection companies to hold a current state license issued by the State Fire Marshal's office. Depending on the service category, individual technicians must also hold specific certifications. Firemax Fire Protection has held continuous state licensure since 1998 and our technicians are individually certified for the service categories we perform. Hiring an unlicensed contractor for fire protection work in Broward County puts you at risk of having the work rejected by your AHJ and your compliance documentation voided, which can create serious liability exposure.

Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we encounter in Broward County. Older commercial buildings along Federal Highway, US-1, and parts of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood were built under earlier code editions and may not meet current NFPA standards. Changes in occupancy type, tenant improvements, or a change in building use can all trigger mandatory upgrades. We walk the property, document what is present, identify what is out of compliance, and give you a clear picture of what needs to be addressed and in what order. We have been doing this in Broward since 1998 and can help you prioritize.

Yes. Multi-location programs are a core part of what we do. We work with restaurant groups, retail chains, property management companies, and commercial real estate operators with properties across Broward County to consolidate all fire protection services under a single agreement. We track inspection due dates across all locations, coordinate service visits around your business schedule, and produce unified reporting so you always know the compliance status of every property in your portfolio.

Non-compliant fire protection equipment can result in written violations, fines, and in some cases a requirement to correct deficiencies before your certificate of occupancy can be renewed or your business can continue operating. Insurance carriers may also deny claims if a fire occurs and equipment is found to have been out of compliance at the time. The best protection against both outcomes is a current service agreement with a licensed fire protection company and complete, up-to-date documentation on file. We help Broward County businesses stay ahead of inspection cycles so violations do not become operational disruptions.
