Our technicians inspect, maintain, repair and install the equipment a fire marshal expects to find working.

What Lumberton, Texas Businesses Must Inspect, and How Often
NFPA 10 sets four service intervals for portable fire extinguishers:
| Schedule | NFPA 10 Requirement |
|---|---|
| Every 30 days | A quick visual check by your own staff of the gauge, pin, seal and access. |
| Every year | A professional inspection and a new tag from a registered fire protection company. |
| Every 6 years | Internal maintenance for stored-pressure dry chemical extinguishers. |
| Every 5 or 12 years | Hydrostatic testing, depending on extinguisher type. |
Texas names NFPA 10 as an adopted standard in 28 TAC 34.507, titled “Adopted Standards.” That is why tags and service records matter.
Kitchen hood suppression needs service every six months under NFPA 96, and again after any discharge. Restaurants with commercial kitchen hood systems should keep the current semiannual tag and the written service report on file.
Fire alarms follow the testing schedule in NFPA 72, and emergency lighting follows NFPA 101. Our technicians test both and record the results alongside your extinguisher and hood reports.
Who Can Perform the Annual Inspection in Texas
Texas requires a company that services portable fire extinguishers to hold a Certificate of Registration from the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Fire alarm companies need their own registration, and each technician needs a State Fire Marshal license. Industrial Fire holds both firm registrations: ECR-2061363 (Extinguisher Certificate of Registration) and ACR-2368800 (Alarm Certificate of Registration).
Ask any company that tags your extinguishers for its registration number, and check it against the service tag and report. You can confirm any number with the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office. Ours are printed here so you can check them before you hire us.
Hardin County ESD #2 Fire Marshal Permits and Inspections in Lumberton, Texas
In Lumberton, the fire code is enforced by the Hardin County ESD #2 Fire Marshal’s Office, part of Lumberton Fire & EMS. District Fire Marshal Jimmy Blanchard’s office handles plan review, fire inspections and operational permits. It also permits and inspects fire protection systems, including fire alarms, kitchen hood systems and standpipes.
The district’s adopted fire code is the 2021 International Fire Code. The City of Lumberton’s building codes are the 2015 IBC, IRC and IFGC and the 2014 NEC, so the fire code comes from ESD #2, not the city. Jimmy Blanchard also serves as the city’s Fire & Life Safety Inspector.
- Office: Hardin County ESD #2, 228 Country Lane Dr, Lumberton, TX 77657
- District phone: (409) 755-6031
- City Hall (ask for the Fire & Life Safety Inspector): (409) 755-3700
- Permits: applied for through the district’s online permit portal
ESD #2 serves more than 20,000 residents across 60 square miles. For a restaurant, a new hood suppression system or a major change to the cook line falls under the district’s permit and inspection program, so confirm the permit before work starts. We plan that step into the project schedule. If your building sits outside Lumberton, the fire code can change from Silsbee to Kountze; see who enforces fire code across Hardin County, Texas.
Call (713) 223-9181 before your next inspection.

Fire Protection for Lumberton, Texas Restaurants, Schools and US-96 Businesses
Restaurants and cafes on Main Street and LHS Drive run hood systems that need a fresh tag every six months, plus Class K extinguishers near the fryers. Our restaurant hood suppression service in Lumberton lines up the hood inspection with your annual extinguisher tags, so one visit can cover both.
Truck stops and quick-service kitchens along US-69/96/287 cook for highway traffic all day, which leaves little room for a shutdown. Health and fire inspectors can each flag an expired extinguisher or hood tag, so one lapse can turn up on more than one inspector’s list.
Schools, churches, offices and retail centers need alarm panels tested, exit lights working and extinguishers tagged on every floor. Our team tests fire alarm systems in Lumberton on a set schedule and keeps each report in BuildingReports.com. Facility managers can then pull records for any building when an inspector or insurer asks.
