Commercial Fire Protection for Caldwell County Businesses
Industrial Fire provides commercial fire protection across Caldwell County, from restaurants and BBQ kitchens in Lockhart to shops, warehouses and light industrial sites in Luling and Martindale. One licensed provider handles your extinguishers, alarms and suppression systems, plus the records that go with them. Inspection dates stop slipping between vendors.
We schedule each visit by address and scope. You can browse our Caldwell County-area service locations, or call and we will confirm timing for your property.
Every visit ends with written records. We track inspections in BuildingReports.com and use a 20-point PM checklist, so the work stays consistent from one visit to the next.
What Caldwell County Businesses Must Inspect, and How Often
Portable fire extinguishers follow a four-tier schedule drawn from NFPA 10:
| Schedule | NFPA 10 Requirement |
|---|---|
| Every 30 days | A staff member checks that each extinguisher is visible, reachable, mounted, charged and undamaged. |
| Every year | A licensed professional completes the annual inspection and records it on the service tag. |
| Every six years | Rechargeable dry chemical units receive internal maintenance. |
| Every five or 12 years | Hydrostatic testing pressure tests the cylinder, at the interval its type requires. |
Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference in 28 TAC 34.507, so this schedule is enforceable state rule, not just a best practice. A sticker alone does not prove a professional inspection happened. The tag should show the company, the date and the technician.
Who Can Perform the Annual Fire Extinguisher Inspection in Texas?
Annual extinguisher work must come from a company and technician licensed by the Texas State Fire Marshal. Industrial Fire holds license numbers ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800, and any provider you hire should be able to give you theirs.
Other systems carry separate schedules. Alarms, suppression, emergency lighting and kitchen hood systems each have their own inspection and testing requirements.

Fire Protection for Restaurants, BBQ Kitchens and Light Industrial Along the SH-130 Corridor
Lockhart is the officially designated Barbecue Capital of Texas, so many kitchens run grease-producing appliances beside wood or charcoal smokers. That mix needs more than a generic extinguisher visit. Hood suppression systems need service at least every six months, hood and duct cleaning needs records, and equipment shutoff needs testing.
Solid-fuel cooking takes extra care. Wood and charcoal pits need fire protection that suits that equipment and is approved by the authority having jurisdiction, so review plans with that authority before you install or change a pit. We support restaurant fire suppression Lockhart projects from inspection through repair.
Along the SH-130 corridor, light industrial, warehouse, manufacturing and oilfield-service sites need alarms, extinguishers, suppression and emergency lighting matched to what happens inside. Request a facility review and we will list the systems and records that need attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Inspects Fire Extinguishers in Caldwell County, Texas?
Annual inspections must come from a company and technician licensed by the Texas State Fire Marshal. Industrial Fire does this work under ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800. The tag should name the company, the date and the technician. Your staff still handle the 30-day visual check, but it does not replace the annual professional inspection or required maintenance.
How Often Does a Commercial Fire Extinguisher Need Servicing in Texas?
Commercial extinguishers need a monthly owner check and an annual professional inspection. Dry chemical units add internal maintenance every six years, and hydrostatic testing comes at five or 12 years, depending on the cylinder type. Do not apply one date to every unit. A technician should review each cylinder’s type, condition and service history to set the right work.
Does Caldwell County Require a Fire Code Permit for a Change of Occupancy?
It depends on the address and the scope of the change. A property inside Lockhart may follow a different plan review and inspection route than one in unincorporated Caldwell County. Confirm the current process with the authority having jurisdiction before construction, equipment installation or the change itself. That early check tells you whether plans, fire protection changes or inspections must be finished before you can open.

Yes. We serve commercial properties in Lockhart, Luling, Martindale and nearby communities, and we schedule by address, scope and technician availability. Call (713) 223-9181 and we will confirm the timing for your property.
