Fire Protection Services in Bastrop, Texas
Industrial Fire provides commercial fire protection in Bastrop, Texas, the Bastrop County seat about 30 miles southeast of Austin. We inspect, service and repair the life safety equipment that restaurants, food trucks, day cares, nursing facilities and retail sites depend on. Recurring inspections, repairs and code corrections stay with one registered provider, so your records stay in one place.
Hood suppression is where Bastrop differs from most towns. The city publishes detailed hood plan rules and a separate rule for mobile food vendors, and we build our service around both. Our Texas State Fire Marshal registrations are listed on this page so you can verify them. See all of our Central Texas service locations to learn where else we work.
We work with restaurant owners, food vendors, property managers and operators of care facilities. Before a fire marshal visit, we review your equipment and records and flag the deficiencies that need attention first.
What Bastrop Businesses Must Inspect, and How Often
Fire extinguishers in Bastrop follow a four-tier NFPA 10 schedule:
| Schedule | NFPA 10 Requirement |
|---|---|
| Every 30 days | A visual check by your staff. Confirm the unit is in place, accessible, sealed and showing normal pressure. |
| Every year | A professional inspection by a registered technician, with an updated service tag. |
| Every 6 years | Internal maintenance on stored-pressure dry chemical extinguishers. |
| Every 5 or 12 years | Hydrostatic testing, depending on the extinguisher type. |
Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference at 28 TAC 34.507, a section titled “Adopted Standards.” It names the standard Texas follows. It is not the annual inspection requirement itself, so the extinguisher type, condition, service history and last test date decide what is due.
Other systems run on their own schedules. Alarms, emergency lighting and kitchen hood suppression each follow the standard written for that equipment, and Bastrop’s fire prevention office can add its own requirements. Kitchen hood suppression, for example, is typically inspected every six months. A current extinguisher tag does not show that your alarm or hood system is current.
Who Is Licensed to Perform the Annual Inspection in Texas
Annual extinguisher service in Texas must be done by a firm registered with the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office. Extinguisher work falls under an Extinguisher Certificate of Registration (ECR), and alarm work falls under an Alarm Certificate of Registration (ACR). Industrial Fire holds ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800, both issued to the firm.
Check every tag for the provider’s registration number, the service date and the technician. Your staff can handle the monthly visual check, but the annual service is not a do-it-yourself job. A tag you cannot trace to a registered firm may not satisfy an inspector.
Bastrop Fire Prevention Division Hood System and Inspection Requirements
The City of Bastrop Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Division inspects commercial vent hood and ANSUL systems inside city limits. The office works from the fire station at 802 Chestnut Street, Bastrop, TX 78602. Call (512) 332-8670 or email [email protected].
For hood plans, the city asks for the kitchen layout and a diagram showing the location and type of nozzles, links, cylinder, gas valve and manual pull stations. Gas and electricity must shut off when the system activates. If the building has a fire alarm, the hood system must tie into it, and the city requires a test cylinder for the acceptance test. The system must also set off that alarm during the test.
Mobile food vendors add a vehicle layout and LP gas details, and their hoods do not need an alarm tie-in. The same division conducts annual fire safety inspections of day cares, foster homes and nursing facilities.
The city’s page cites more than one fire code edition, so confirm which one applies with the division before you submit plans. Industrial Fire supports the equipment and paperwork side of commercial kitchen hood suppression in Bastrop, so call us before you submit or correct anything.
Fire Protection Services Industrial Fire Provides in Bastrop
We are an authorized ANSUL, Amerex and Pyro-Chem partner, and we cover five service lines in Bastrop:
- Extinguishers: inspection, recharge, replacement and tagging for ABC, Type K, CO2 and Halotron units. See fire extinguisher service in Bastrop.
- Kitchen hood suppression: ANSUL and Pyro-Chem systems for restaurants and food trucks, inspected and serviced. See fire suppression systems in Bastrop.
- Clean agent: systems for equipment rooms where water would do damage, plus repairs that restore any suppression system after an inspection finds a problem. See fire suppression system repair in Bastrop.
- Fire alarms: inspection and monitoring coordination for commercial buildings. See fire alarm systems in Bastrop.
- Alarm servicing and emergency lighting: panel and device service, repairs and lighting checks. See fire alarm servicing in Bastrop.
One provider means one schedule and one set of records. A coordinated visit shows deficiencies across all five systems, so corrections can be organized before an inspection deadline.
BuildingReports.com documentation keeps completed work, open deficiencies and due dates in one place, so your records are ready when an inspector asks. Our 20-point preventive maintenance checklist keeps recurring work on the same steps every visit.
Fire Protection for Bastrop Restaurants, Food Trucks, Day Cares and Nursing Facilities
Restaurants and BBQ kitchens run grease-heavy cooking under hoods, so the suppression system, links, nozzles and shutoffs need regular attention. We confirm the system matches the appliances under the hood, because a menu or equipment change can leave a system out of date. Class K extinguishers belong wherever cooking oils are used. Call us before an opening or renewal so any correction surfaces early.
Mobile food vendors face a separate set of rules. Bastrop asks for a vehicle layout and LP gas details, and a food truck hood does not need an alarm tie-in. We handle food truck fire suppression with the same ANSUL and Pyro-Chem equipment and the same service records as a fixed kitchen.
Day cares, foster homes and nursing facilities get annual fire inspections from the city, so extinguisher tags, alarm records and emergency lighting should be current before the inspector arrives. Retail sites need extinguishers in the right places, current tags, and working exit and emergency lighting.
How Fast Can Industrial Fire Reach Bastrop?
Report an impaired or discharged system right away. We answer calls live 24/7, and under the Rest Easy Guarantee we return your call within 30 minutes, subject to its terms. Tell us whether a system is discharged, impaired or only past due, so we can plan the response around the risk.
We offer same-day service where scheduling allows. Arrival depends on the system involved, parts, site access and the work already on our schedule. Bastrop is outside our Houston base, so we confirm timing for your site on the callback instead of guessing. Businesses with sites in Austin or Elgin can also see our Austin fire protection and Elgin fire protection services pages.
Call (713) 223-9181 any hour, or schedule fire protection service with your address, system type and any deficiency report.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Protection in Bastrop, Texas
Who Inspects Commercial Fire Extinguishers in Bastrop, Texas?
A firm registered with the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office must perform the annual inspection and tagging. Industrial Fire holds registrations ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800. Your own staff handles the 30-day visual check, and a registered provider handles the annual service. Check each tag for the provider’s registration number, the technician and the service date, and keep the records for any inspector who asks. A tag you cannot trace to a registered firm tells you nothing about who did the work.
How Often Does a Commercial Fire Extinguisher Need Servicing in Texas?
Your staff checks each unit every 30 days, and a registered provider inspects it every year. Stored-pressure dry chemical units also need internal maintenance every six years, and hydrostatic testing comes every five or 12 years depending on the extinguisher type. Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference, so this is the schedule Texas follows. A unit that has discharged, lost pressure or shows damage needs attention sooner, so check the label and past records before you schedule.
What Must a Bastrop Hood Suppression Plan Show Before Installation?
The City of Bastrop asks for the kitchen layout and a diagram of the system showing the location and type of nozzles, links, cylinder, gas valve and manual pull stations. Gas and electric must shut off when the system activates. If the building has a fire alarm, the hood system must tie into it, and the city requires a test cylinder for the acceptance test. Confirm current submittal details with the Fire Prevention Division at (512) 332-8670.
Do Food Trucks in Bastrop Need a Hood Suppression Inspection?
Mobile food vendors fall under a separate hood rule in Bastrop, and the Fire Prevention Division lists them among the operations it inspects each year. A vendor provides a vehicle layout and LP gas details along with the standard hood plan items, and the hood does not need a fire alarm tie-in. Call the division at (512) 332-8670 to confirm what your unit needs, then call Industrial Fire at (713) 223-9181 to schedule suppression service.
