🔥 Older Building? Modern Fire Protection Is Still Possible!

Retrofitting fire sprinkler systems into existing buildings is an important investment in life safety and long-term property protection. While retrofits can present unique challenges—including existing layouts, structural considerations, and coordinating installation around daily operations—the benefits are worth it.�

Why consider a fire sprinkler retrofit?

✅ Improved Life Safety: Help protect occupants by controlling fires before they spread.
✅ Reduced Property Damage: Automatic sprinklers can significantly limit fire damage and the water damage associated with firefighting efforts.
✅ Potential Insurance Savings: Installing a fire sprinkler system may help lower insurance premiums.
✅ Long-Term Protection: Upgrade your building's fire safety capabilities while helping meet applicable codes and requirements.

At Total Fire Protection, we specialize in designing and installing fire sprinkler systems tailored to your building's unique needs, whether it's new construction or an existing facility.

🔥 Your building may be older, but your fire protection doesn't have to be.

Contact TFP to learn more about retrofitting your property with a reliable fire sprinkler system.

⚡ Fire Prevention Week: Plug In. Power Up. Stay Safe.

✈️ On a flight? Keep it in sight.

If you’re charging a device on a plane, keep it where you can see it. Don’t tuck it into a bag or cover it with a blanket—you want to notice any warning signs quickly.

Never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on the plane. Follow the airline’s charging rules, and tell a flight attendant immediately if your device becomes unusually hot, swells, smells strange, or starts smoking.

Safe charging habits travel with you. Keep your device visible and speak up if something seems wrong!

⚡ Fire Prevention Week: Plug In. Power Up. Stay Safe.

🔋 Feels hot? Stop using it.

A device that feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds is warning you. Stop using it immediately—these signs can indicate a failing battery and a potential fire hazard.

Don’t plug it back in or try to finish charging. Contact the manufacturer for guidance on safe replacement and disposal.

If the device is smoking or burning, move away, get everyone out, and call 911. Don’t pick it up or try to move it.

⚡ Fire Prevention Week: Plug In. Power Up. Stay Safe.

🔋 For tools and rides, charge outside.

E-bikes, scooters, and power tools help you get things done—but where you charge them matters. Charge these larger battery-powered items outside when possible, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and keep them protected from rain and extreme temperatures.

Never block an exit when charging. Keep devices, batteries, and cords out of doorways and escape routes so everyone has a clear way out in an emergency.

Power up with safety in mind—where you plug in matters!

⚡ Fire Prevention Week: Plug In. Power Up. Stay Safe.

🔌 Soft surface? Hard pass.

Beds, couches, and pillows may be comfortable, but they’re not a safe place to charge your devices. Soft surfaces can trap heat around a charging device, increasing the risk of overheating and fire.

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or bare floor, away from anything that can burn. Keep your device uncovered so heat can escape.

Give your device space to charge safely.

10/05/2026

⚡ Fire Prevention Week: Plug In. Power Up. Stay Safe.

🔌 Cheap charger? Don’t chance it.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or a replacement approved by the manufacturer.

An incompatible or poorly made charger can supply the wrong power or lack safeguards that help prevent overheating and overcharging. That heat can damage a lithium-ion battery and potentially start a fire.

Just because it fits doesn’t mean it’s safe. Choose charging equipment based on compatibility and manufacturer approval—not just price.

🧯 Monthly Fire Extinguisher Checks: Don't Skip Them!

A fire extinguisher is only effective if it's accessible and ready to use. According to NFPA 10, portable fire extinguishers require monthly visual inspections to help identify potential issues before an emergency.

Your monthly checklist should include:
✅ Extinguisher is in its designated location.
✅ Access is clear and unobstructed.
✅ Pressure gauge is in the operable range (if equipped).
✅ Safety pin and tamper seal are intact.
✅ No visible damage, corrosion, or leaks.
✅ Hose and nozzle are clear.
✅ Operating instructions are visible and legible.
✅ Inspection is properly documented.

If you find an issue, have a qualified professional address it promptly.

At Total Fire Protection, we provide professional extinguisher inspections, maintenance, and service to help keep your facility protected and compliant.

🔥 A quick monthly check can make a critical difference when seconds count.
