We work with commercial property managers, industrial operators, restaurants, ranch and agricultural businesses, schools, churches, and retail sites.

Commercial fire protection in Cuero comes with the same documentation and the same 30-minute callback commitment as our Houston work.

What DeWitt County Businesses Are Required to Inspect, and How Often
Fire extinguisher inspection in DeWitt County follows a four-tier NFPA 10 schedule:
| Schedule | NFPA 10 Requirement |
|---|---|
| Every 30 days | Your staff makes a visual check for pressure, damage, and clear access. |
| Every year | A licensed provider performs a professional inspection and tags the unit. |
| Every six years | Stored-pressure dry chemical units receive internal maintenance. |
| Every five to 12 years | Hydrostatic testing, every five years for water, wet chemical, and CO2 units and every 12 years for most dry chemical units. |
Texas adopts NFPA 10 by reference at 28 TAC 34.507 (Adopted Standards), the standard licensed extinguisher companies in Texas work to. Your staff covers the monthly check, and a licensed provider covers everything after it. Inspectors may ask for the tag and the service record on any unit, so keep both current.
Other systems run on their own intervals. Fire alarms, emergency lighting, suppression systems, and kitchen hood systems each follow the standard written for that equipment, and your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) can add requirements. Kitchen hood suppression, for example, needs inspection every six months. A current extinguisher tag does not show that your alarm or suppression system is current.
Who Is Licensed to Perform the Annual Inspection in Texas
Annual extinguisher inspection and tagging must be done by a provider licensed through the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office. Industrial Fire holds Texas State Fire Marshal licenses ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800.
Look for the provider’s license number, the technician, and the service date on every tag and service record. Your staff can handle the 30-day visual check, but the annual service is not a do-it-yourself job. A tag you cannot trace to a licensed provider may not satisfy an inspector. Even well-trained in-house staff cannot sign off on the annual service.
Before you sign a service agreement, ask any vendor for its Texas State Fire Marshal license numbers and the technician’s license, then compare them with the State Fire Marshal’s public records. Industrial Fire lists its numbers on this page so you can run the same check on us.
Fire Inspection Requirements in Cuero and DeWitt County
In Cuero, the City of Cuero Fire Marshal works from the City of Cuero Fire Department at 219 E Main Street, Cuero, Texas 77954. You schedule a fire inspection at (361) 275-6114, extension 621, and the office asks for at least 24 hours’ notice. Cuero is the DeWitt County seat.
The office enforces fire and life safety requirements inside city limits. A business must pass a fire department inspection and receive a certificate of occupancy before it opens to the public. New construction, additions, and renovations can also go through fire code plan review, and the city publishes a 2021 International Fire Code checklist for inspections. Keep the certificate of occupancy with your fire inspection records.
The Cuero Volunteer Fire Department is the responding department for fires. Emergency response and inspection authority are separate roles, so call the fire marshal’s office to schedule an inspection.
Outside city limits, the requirements depend on the parcel and how the building is used. DeWitt County’s Emergency Management office coordinates emergency response and is not a fire marshal’s office, so confirm who has jurisdiction for your property before you plan work. We can review your equipment and records in the meantime, so they are ready for whichever inspector applies.

Fire Protection for Eagle Ford Energy Services, Ranching Operations and Rural Commercial Kitchens
DeWitt County sits in the Eagle Ford Shale region, and its commercial buildings reflect that mix: energy-service yards and shops, ranch and agricultural operations, and small-town restaurants. Each carries different hazards, so one extinguisher plan does not fit all three.
Energy-service companies often run fuel storage, welding and equipment bays, and field offices. For these sites, oilfield services fire protection means matching extinguisher types to the hazard, adding fixed or specialty suppression where a process needs it, and keeping inspection records organized for audits.
Ranch and agricultural properties need a review of shops, barns, equipment storage, and offices. Fuel, dust, and machinery raise the risk, and distance from a station makes working extinguishers and clear records more important.
Restaurants and school kitchens need maintained hood suppression and Class K extinguishers wherever cooking oils are used. We service kitchen hood suppression in Cuero and across the county, including ANSUL and Pyro-Chem systems, and we confirm each system matches the equipment under the hood.
How Fast Can You Get a Technician to DeWitt County?
Report an impaired or discharged system at once, not at the next scheduled inspection. We provide 24/7 live phone answering for emergencies and return urgent calls within 30 minutes. Tell us whether a system is discharged, impaired, or only past due, so we can plan the response around the risk.
Arrival depends on the system involved, parts, site access, and where your facility sits in the county. Our technicians travel from our Houston headquarters, so we confirm timing for your site on the callback instead of guessing. Urgent problems at rural facilities may need different planning than a call in Cuero or Yorktown.
Call (713) 223-9181 any hour, or schedule fire protection service with your location, system type, and any deficiency report.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Inspects Fire Extinguishers in DeWitt County, Texas?
A fire extinguisher company licensed through the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office must perform the annual inspection and tagging. Industrial Fire holds licenses ECR-2061363 and ACR-2368800. Check each tag for the provider’s license number, the technician, and the service date, then keep the service records with your facility documentation for any inspector who asks. A tag that names no provider or service date tells you nothing about who did the work.
How Often Does a Commercial Fire Extinguisher Need Servicing in Texas?
Your staff checks each unit visually every 30 days, and a licensed provider services 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 these intervals apply statewide. Check each unit’s label and past records before you schedule.
Does DeWitt County Require a Fire Code Permit for a Change of Occupancy?
Inside Cuero city limits, a business must pass a fire department inspection and receive a certificate of occupancy before it opens to the public. A new business or change of use should call the City of Cuero Fire Marshal at (361) 275-6114, extension 621, before work begins. Outside city limits, confirm which authority has jurisdiction for your parcel and building use, and whether any county requirement applies.
