Since 1973, IFI has been San Francisco's trusted source for fire safety inspections, equipment certification, and compliance services — with the local knowledge and hands-on expertise that national chains can't match.
"Brought in our building's commercial fire extinguishers for their annual test and tags. They did it on the spot in under 15 minutes. Excellent walk-in route service and very fair prices."
"We've used International Fire Inc. for our annual sprinkler flow testing and alarm certifications for years. The crew is always professional, prompt, and keeps our property fully up to code."
"Teresa in the office was extremely helpful with scheduling our priority safety audit. The route technician arrived on time, replaced our backup batteries, and emailed the PDF report the same afternoon."
International Fire Inc. was founded with a clear mission: to make fire safety compliance accessible, straightforward, and reliable for California businesses. We've grown from a small San Francisco operation into one of the region's most trusted fire safety service providers — while keeping the personalized service of a local business.
Every inspection is done to the highest standard — because the purpose of our work is protecting lives and property.
We stay current with NFPA standards and California state fire code so our customers stay compliant without the research burden.
We tell you exactly what your equipment needs and why. No upselling equipment that doesn't need replacement.
Walk-in service means you get certified the same day, without scheduling delays that put your compliance at risk.
