Fire Protection Services in Freeport, Texas
Industrial Fire provides commercial fire protection in Freeport, Texas, for the contractors, marine businesses and restaurants that keep the Port Freeport industrial base running. We bring a family-owned approach to every Freeport extinguisher tag, hood system and alarm panel we touch. That includes inspection, repair and documentation, so your equipment is ready when an inspector or an emergency shows up.
We are a Houston team about 60 road miles away, and we do not claim to be your closest option. What we offer is State Fire Marshal registration and written service records. We work on portable extinguishers, kitchen hood suppression, clean agent systems, fire alarms and emergency lighting. We do not install or service fire sprinklers, and we do not take on plant-interior deluge work.
If you want a vendor that treats your yard, shop or kitchen as its own account, that is the work we are built for.
What Freeport, Texas Businesses Must Inspect, and How Often
NFPA 10 sets four service tiers for portable fire extinguishers:
| 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 in 28 TAC 34.507, a section titled “Adopted Standards.” That is how this schedule becomes the standard for Texas businesses.
Each tier catches a different failure. The 30-day check finds the obvious problems, the annual inspection finds what an owner cannot see, and the longer tiers deal with the cylinder and agent inside. Keep the tag and the report for every unit.
Salt air and humidity near the water wear on exterior units. Between visits, look for corrosion, cracked hoses, missing tags, broken seals and blocked access. Any extinguisher that has been discharged needs service before its next scheduled date.
Who Is Licensed to Perform the Annual Inspection in Texas
Texas requires firms that service portable fire extinguishers to be registered with the Texas State Fire Marshal. Industrial Fire holds ECR-2061363, our Extinguisher Certificate of Registration, and ACR-2368800, our Alarm Certificate of Registration. Both are firm registrations issued by the Texas State Fire Marshal. The registration belongs to the company, so it is the number on the paperwork that counts.
Ask any vendor for its registration number before it works on your equipment, and confirm it with the State Fire Marshal’s office. You should see that same number tied to the service tags and inspection reports you keep on file. If a vendor cannot give you a number, keep looking.
Freeport, Texas Fire Marshal Hood Suppression Rules and Annual Inspections
Freeport Fire & EMS, Office of the Fire Marshal, is at 131 E. 4th St., Freeport, Texas 77541. Its non-emergency number is (979) 233-2111. City guidance for commercial hood suppression sets out what a Freeport kitchen needs.
Every system must meet UL 300. A contractor licensed by the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office must install or modify it. The Fire Department must review and approve your plans, and a permit must be issued before installation starts. The pull station must sit in the path of egress, no higher than 5 feet, and 10 to 20 feet from the hood.
The city also aims to inspect every commercial facility once a year and expects owners to maintain their systems at least annually. For a Freeport kitchen, that means the paperwork and the hardware should both be ready before an inspector walks in. Plan on three things before any install: a licensed contractor, approved plans and a permit. Our restaurant hood suppression Freeport work covers service, repair and records for kitchen suppression systems. Place the pull station on paper before the hood is hung, because moving it afterward costs more than drawing it correctly the first time.

Who Inspects Commercial Fire Extinguishers in Freeport, Texas?
A Texas fire protection firm registered with the State Fire Marshal inspects commercial extinguishers in Freeport. Industrial Fire holds ECR-2061363 for extinguisher work.
