Fire Extinguisher Service

Fire extinguishers are a critical line of defense against fires which can move quickly and may not immediately be detected by the other protection systems in place. In Columbia, the second most populous city in South Carolina, it’s incredibly important that workplaces and colleagues are prepared for action at all times—emergencies can break out in seconds. Before a fire sprinkler or suppression system is activated and emergency personnel can arrive, it’s important to educate your team on knowing where extinguishers are located and being ready to operate them in times of emergency. Pye-Barker’s fire extinguisher experts provide inspection, testing, maintenance and recharge to help you maintain code compliance and protect your people, even providing hands-on extinguisher and safety training in person. Preparation is key when it comes to guarding your business from the very real threat of fire.

The Pye-Barker team knows that every building is different, and so we offer custom designs that work to protect your specific needs.

Fire Alarms & Detection

Keep in mind that your fire protection must keep facilities covered and stay up-to-date in case of emergency. When a fire occurs, noxious fumes can be released rapidly and leave occupants disoriented and in danger. Knowing the next steps is critical: your business’s fire detection and alarm systems must be prepared to alert those inside the facilities to evacuate and notify the fire department as soon as possible. Our team in Columbia is ready to test, inspect, maintain, install, and design systems that help keep you safe and prepared for risk. We provide the following services so you can be prepared for the worst and continue putting the best foot forward.

Fire Sprinklers

Fire Sprinklers are proven to greatly reduce risk in fire emergencies. Columbia’s new and old buildings have varying requirements for properly functioning fire sprinkler or suppression systems, which can mitigate devastating threats to people and property. Pye-Barker technicians perform regular testing, inspections, repairs, and upgrades to save lives and protect property, also keeping systems up to federal code. Corrosion and debris can block the water supply and leave your system inoperable when needed most. Federal guidelines mandate that fire sprinkler systems are properly serviced and maintained, as they are critical to reducing risk.

Life Safety Equipment

The best life safety equipment is out of the way of your normal day but conveniently located so that you and your team can use it in case of emergency. We can help supply your business with the necessary tools, including pull stations and covers for fire alarms, emergency exit signs and lighting, defibrillators for sudden cardiac events, and carbon monoxide detection which alerts the proper support systems and notifies anyone in the facilities to escape potential danger. Contact us and we’ll help you assess ways to prepare you and your business for the chance that a life-threatening event occurs.

When a threat occurs, it is critical that you are prepared to communicate the necessary details as soon as possible to each person on the site.
