🔥 Built In-House. Built to Keep Projects Moving.

A fire protection system requires thousands of components—and waiting on multiple suppliers can mean costly delays.

At Total Fire Protection, our in-house fabrication shop allows us to fabricate, package, and deliver the components our teams need from one facility. That means better control, greater efficiency, and fewer delays from fabrication to installation.

💪 One facility. One team. One complete solution.

MIC Can Damage Your Fire Sprinkler System From the Inside Out

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) can develop inside fire sprinkler piping, causing corrosion, buildup, pinhole leaks, and even restricted water flow—all problems you may not see until significant damage has occurred.

Regular inspections are critical for identifying signs of internal corrosion before they compromise system performance or lead to costly repairs.

At Total Fire Protection, we help identify potential issues and keep your fire suppression system reliable, compliant, and ready when it matters most.

🔥 Don’t overlook what’s happening inside your pipes.

Heavy machinery, chemicals, dust, and high-energy equipment create unique fire risks in manufacturing facilities. Staying protected means keeping your sprinklers, alarms, suppression systems, and extinguishers inspected, maintained, and compliant.

At Total Fire Protection, we provide fire protection solutions tailored to your facility, equipment, and operations.

Protect your people. Protect your process. Stay compliant.

🚒 Weekly Fire Pump Runs Matter.

NFPA 25 requires weekly testing for many fire pumps to make sure they start properly and are ready when needed.

Regular pump runs help identify pressure issues, leaks, mechanical problems, and other concerns before an emergency happens. At Total Fire Protection, we help keep your fire pumps tested, maintained, and ready to perform.

Why Are Weekly Fire Pump Runs Important?

Your fire pump is the powerhouse behind your fire sprinkler system. If it’s needed during an emergency, it has to start immediately—and that’s exactly why weekly fire pump runs are so important.

According to NFPA 25, many fire pumps—especially diesel-powered pumps and certain electric pumps—require a weekly no-flow (churn) test to verify they’re operating properly.

During a weekly pump run, technicians check:
✅ Proper pump start-up
✅ System pressure and performance
✅ Gauges, controllers, and alarms
✅ Signs of leaks or mechanical issues

These routine tests help identify small problems before they become costly failures and ensure your fire protection system is ready when every second counts.

At Total Fire Protection, we help keep your fire pumps tested, maintained, and compliant—so you can have confidence your system will perform when it matters most.

Run it. Test it. Protect it.

Fire extinguisher deficiencies are one of the most common issues found during safety inspections—and they can make the difference between stopping a small fire or facing a major emergency. Fire extinguishers are your first line of defense, but only if they’re properly maintained.

Here are a few issues we see most often during inspections:

▶️Pressure Problems – If the gauge isn’t in the green, the unit may not work when needed
▶️Signs of Structural Damage – Rust, dents, or cracks can compromise performance
▶️Improper Type or Location – Not all extinguishers work for all fires, and spacing matters
▶️Outdated & Unreliable – Units have service and replacement timelines that can’t be ignored
▶️Missing or damaged safety pins – Small detail, big risk

Regular inspections help identify these deficiencies early—keeping your building compliant, your occupants protected, and your equipment ready to perform.

At Total Fire Protection, we inspect, service, and maintain fire extinguishers so you’re never caught unprepared. Don’t assume it’s ready. Know it is.

Last week, our Grand Rapids team traded tools for teamwork during the Total Fire Summer Olympics!

We wrapped up the week with a Friday cookout and potluck to celebrate everyone's efforts and the incredible team that makes Total Fire Protection what it is.

Strong teams don't just build great fire protection systems—they build each other up.
