Serviced Fire Equipment

Serviced Fire Equipment is a licensed fire protection facility located at 3200 62nd Ave N in St. Petersburg, Florida, operating continuously since 1999. The company provides walk-in fire extinguisher service for local businesses and supplies certified refurbished units to fire equipment dealers nationwide. All inspections, recharges, and hydrostatic testing are handled in-house at their 10,000 sq ft facility without outsourcing.

Walk-in customers can bring their fire extinguishers to the St. Petersburg facility Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm with no appointment required. The process takes under 10 minutes for most visits, and there is no service call fee charged to the customer. A single inspection costs $15 per unit, while a recharge costs $25 per unit.

The business serves businesses, contractors, and property managers throughout Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties in Florida. For fire equipment dealers, they ship certified refurbished and new bulk units across the continental United States. Minimum orders for wholesale dealers start at 50 units with a lead time of 1-2 weeks.

The facility is DOT-authorized for hydrostatic testing under RIN D133 and is licensed by the Florida State Fire Marshal with Class 01 and 04 licenses. They test a wide variety of cylinders including CO₂ fire extinguishers, SCBA cylinders, SCUBA tanks, and medical oxygen tanks. If a cylinder has a DOT specification stamp, there is a good chance they can test it in-house.

The company was founded in 1999 by the current owner's father, starting from a storage unit in St. Petersburg. In April 2024, the mobile service division was sold to Thompson Safety to focus on walk-in service and wholesale supply. The business now operates as a family-owned entity with 100% ownership managed by the current owner and their wife.

The business is an authorized distributor for major manufacturers including Amerex, Ansul, Buckeye, Sea-Fire, and Fireboy. They offer direct access to leading brands at below-MSRP pricing for bulk customers. Every unit that leaves the facility is inspected, recharged, and certified by Daniel Beauchesne, who holds Florida State Fire Marshal and DOT certifications.

The company maintains a comprehensive stock of service-ready fire extinguishers tailored to diverse requirements. They also offer beverage CO₂ and extinguisher recharging/refilling services for restaurants and bars. Typical turnaround for hydrostatic testing is 7 to 10 days, though rush options are available.

The business operates on a walk-in only model and does not offer mobile service directly. For mobile fire extinguisher service throughout Tampa Bay, customers are referred to Thompson Safety. The facility processes more extinguishers per day than most mobile companies see in a week.

The company is currently in progress with GSA registration for federal, military, and municipal accounts. They handle everything from single cylinders to large-volume orders with consistent turnaround times. The facility is one of the largest DOT-certified testing operations in Tampa Bay.

The business has been operating continuously since 1999 under the same legal entity and EIN. The current owner took over day-to-day operations in 2016 as a 40% owner before becoming the sole owner. The team consists of 12 people who have been doing this work for years.

The company is licensed by the Florida State Fire Marshal and complies with NFPA 10 standards for service and documentation. They upload documentation to the Brycer Compliance Portal for property managers and insurance requirements. The testing facility uses the water jacket method for all in-house testing.

The business can be contacted via the phone number 727-620-3473. They also provide a contact form on their website for fire equipment dealers and contractors. The facility is located at 3200 62nd Ave N in St. Petersburg, Florida.
