Why Every Place Needs Fire Safety Inspection?
Often times, it never occurs to us to check the batteries in a smoke detector OR make sure the fire extinguisher works. Fire extinguishers are treated a lot like smoke detectors. We see the shell of the device planted on the wall and think it’s doing its job.
That is where we come in! Fire safety inspection – Berkeley, CA first steps: Make sure fire extinguishers are accessible and working correctly.
Fire Safety Inspection – Berkeley, CA for Business Owners:
Fire safety inspections are common practice and it’s best to know standard practices to ensure your company’s safety. There are different standards for business vs. home inspection.
For instance, with fire extinguishers, you want to complete the following tasks:
- Confirm the extinguisher is visible, unobstructed, and in its designated location.
- Verify the locking pin is intact and the tamper seal is unbroken.
- Examine the extinguisher for obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or clogged nozzle.
- Confirm the pressure gauge or indicator is in the operable range or position, and lift the extinguisher to ensure it is still full.
- Make sure the operating instructions on the nameplate are legible and facing outward.
- Check the last professional service date on the tag. A licensed fire extinguisher maintenance contractor must have inspected the extinguisher within the past 12 months.
- Initial and date the back of the tag.

Fire Safety Inspection – Berkeley, CA for Home Owners:
Your average Berkeley, CA store bought unit (Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc.) is typically not going to be the best quality. However, it will usually hold pressure without too many problems for 6 to 12 years.
To make sure your fire extinguisher works in your home you want to do the following:
- The extinguisher is not blocked by equipment, coats or other objects that could interfere with access in an emergency.
- The pressure is at the recommended level.
- On extinguishers equipped with a gauge the needle should be in the green zone – not too high and not too low.
- The nozzle or other parts are not hindered in any way.
- The pin and tamper seal (if it has one) are intact.
- There are no dents, leaks, rust, chemical deposits and/or other signs of abuse/wear. Wipe off any corrosive chemicals, oil, gunk etc. that may have deposited on the extinguisher.
Most importantly, for both businesses and homes, remember to replace your fire extinguisher. Depending on the make and model this time can vary.

My Architect, Ahmad introduced Vladi, Aura Fire Safety for Fire system at Himalayan Pizza and Momo. We are very happy with their work and they clearly know what they are doing. Vladi often visits job site and see how things are progressing. Our fire inspection passed successfully at first time without any problem. Vladi and his team listen customer well and make sure everything is planned good before they start their job. I would highly recommend them for Fire system protection, especially for commercial business.

These guys were great to work with, professional, friendly, explaining the whole process of a 5 year sprinkler inspection. From the technician Chris who did the work to Carlyn in the office, it’s great when a business still believes in customer service & are just genuinely really Nice people to work with!

I work with Aura Fire in a few different buildings and am grateful for their assistance. Their entire management team is always helpful in a manner I feel is above an beyond. They go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. We had a major sprinkler issue in one building where all the national companies were quoting over $40 thousand for a resolution. Aura helped us for under $19 thousand and had the Fire Department sign off on it.

Aura Fire did what they said they were going to do. They delivered a great solution for us and they didn’t hit us with change orders as they handled the evolving design, paperwork, and permits. With Aura Fire, we were thinking outside the box. No longer did we have to build a firewall that would block the natural light and views for our next door neighbors and we did not require a large emergency-exit staircase that would have take up most of our backyard. Now our children can play in the backyard and I am growing blueberry bushes. I would definitely work with Aura Fire again.

We used Aura recently to install fire sprinklers, per code for our remodel. Everyone we worked with at Aura was knowledgeable and courteous. They were very professional and responded to our many questions promptly. Definitely a great company to work with.
San Mateo, CA
Working with Aura was a dream in the crazy world of managing construction for a small business. They were prompt in answering all of our questions, kept us updated on progress and did everything possible to make sure that work was finished on time. They were accommodating to our additional requests and just overall had exceptional customer service. This was our first time having to do sprinkler work and Jose and Vladi were patient in explaining all of the details so that we could be prepared at every step. Thank you for the wonderful service Aura!

AWESOME company. Recommend to anyone who needs sprinkler or fire alarm service.
Even though I think most of their business might be with larger buildings, they continually make us feel important to their business even in our little 5 unit TIC building
My HOA will be signing up for a 2-year commitment to keep our sprinkler system and fire alarm system up to code and functioning correctly.
The two office ladies Daryl and Maya are extremely helpful and understanding. Love em.
The two worker guys I’ve met, Greg and Chung, made me feel confident that our building is now in the best of hands. Great guys to work with. I love asking lots of questions and all were answered professionally. And I can thank Yelp for helping me find them!!
Sebastopol, CA
Our school needed to install a complete fire suppression system in the kitchen. We had also discovered that the company doing our fire safety inspections was not in compliance with SF and California state fire regulations. We put the work out to bid and the nightmares began. Numerous contractors failed to return calls or made appointments and then didn’t show up. Finally, we got a specialist to come out to the building and he told us we would need to completely move our kitchen to be compliant and that the cost would be in excess of $100k. Fortunately, we found Aura and had a radically different experience. They returned calls and Vladi was prompt and responsible and the bid was very competitive (actually it was the best price we got.) What completely convinced me however was my first conversation with Olga. She assured me that they would take care of this and given all of the difficulties, that was just what I needed to hear. Since we are a school, we had serious scheduling problems and they worked around our schedule, completed the work on time and managed all of the work with minimal impact on our staff. I recommend Aura enthusiastically!
