Sales & Installation

We start by identifying your needs. Our team offers a free site audit and survey that will help us evaluate the proper selection of the hand-operated fire extinguisher that makes sense for your application. We’ll also determine how many extinguishers you need, and where they should be placed. Then, we’ll install them for you according to code requirements.

Inspections & Servicing

Vanguard offers monthly inspections and routine, annual maintenance on the fire extinguishers we install, and the ones we don’t. Our inspections will help you confirm NFPA 10 compliance, and allow you to rest easy knowing your facility is well-protected in the event of a fire.

Operational Training

A fire extinguisher doesn’t do much good if your employees don’t know how to use it. With property training, the success rate of extinguishing a fire with a hand-operated extinguisher increases to 98%. We’ll help educate and train your team to use your specific hand-operated fire extinguishers properly in the event of a fire.

SENTRY CARBON DIOXIDE

ANSUL SENTRY Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers offer the best in fast response and minimal cleanup. Unlike other fire extinguishing agents, CO2 does not leave a residue, and is non-corrosive and non-conductive. These fire extinguishers may be used indoors, and are used to respond quickly to Class B and C fires. All models of the SENTRY carbon dioxide fire extinguisher are UL listed. All aluminum models are also ULC listed.

Applications: Battery rooms, electrical switchgear rooms, furnace rooms, laboratories, municipal fire departments, printing presses, pump rooms, etc.

Available in 5-30lb options, this is the premier line of fire extinguishers for high-risk industries like chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, mining, aviation, and power generation. Their cartridge operation offers increased reliability, field recharge, and ease-of-use for on-the-spot fire suppression.

Applications: Aircraft hangars, dip and quench tanks, fuel loading racks, fuel storage areas, heavy construction sites, loading docks, metal tube manufacturing, mining equipment, oil pumping stations, truck, buses, warehouses, and more.

CLEANGUARD CLEAN AGENT

Applications: magnetic imaging rooms, semiconductor fabrication facilities, food processing facilities, and more.

K-GUARD

The K-GUARD liquid agent fire extinguisher was designed specifically for use on kitchen-style fires that involve combustible cooking fats, both animal and vegetable, in commercial cooking equipment. Newer cooking appliances require a fire extinguishing agent that produces a cooling effect, in addition to smothering a fire. This extinguisher, when combined with an automatic fire suppression system, can achieve just that. K-GUARD meets or exceeds UL Standard 8 and Standard 711, UCL Standard S554, and NFPA 10.

Applications: Restaurants, cafeterias, convenience stores, food courts, hospitals, hotels, schools, and more.
