Got tuned into the need to check my fire extinguishers after lately seeing so many deaths and…read moredestruction by house fires in the news. Without an education about inspection or servicing my extinguishers, I just assumed the units would work when needed and I would know instinctively how to use them. So, 'attending to my home's extinguishers' never made it to my to-do list. After getting a brief education on youTube, I learned how critical fire extinguishers are to home safety. Since Fire Departments are so enthusiastic about smoke, carbon dioxide, and radon detectors, I was disappointed to learn that not only do they not execute recharging and inspections but the service rep had no referrals. Recommendations to homeowners regarding fire extinguisher protocols, inspection, and usage should rate the same attention as their smoke detector promotions. Workshops on when and how to use fire extinguishers should be standard in our schools, hospitals, airports, businesses, home owner insurer inspections, etc as well as part of our Fire Departments' community education programming, locally and nationwide. Think about the potential exposures to fire during and after impacts on structures by extreme weather events. Moreover, so many vehicles have recalls with warnings of spontaneous combustion while driving and/or when garaged. Even airplanes, electric vehicles, and electronic devices have increased instances of battery fires and explosions. Domestic airlines just established a mandate that all battery packs and battery-driven devices be displayed and NOT packed in cargo OR in overhead cabin luggage due to recent fires. Nonetheless, my online search turned up F&M FIRE PROTECTION with a five star rating for inspection and recharging fire extinguishers, among other services. This company should be on the Fire Department's resource list for local fire extinguisher services. Though I figured my units were too old to recharge, rather than default to an online purchase, my choice to visit in person was the right move. This location is a great value if you are in the market for fire extinguishers, inspection, and/or recharging. After shopping by browser, I found per unit rates to be same as online with the added value of receiving a full understanding of related data points you may not have considered. Though the building is tucked away in an industrial park, GPS can get you there without a hitch. Worth the side trip to be struck by the high-spirited, personable attention you get, delivered by a light-hearted team with a gallery of antiques on display.

We hired Guardian to perform a sprinkler inspection on our property in NE DC - a 26 unit, two…read morebuilding condominium. As a result of the findings of that inspection, we had them back again to perform some maintenance on the system. They were easy to deal with, honest, and performed high quality work. Getting sprinklers serviced is never something that is fun or exciting (unfortunately, it turned out that we needed to replace a number of sprinkler heads due to a recall), but the Guardian employees who came out on site helped me understand our sprinkler system, why certain services were needed, and what we need to consider for maintenance in the future.

Five consecutive no shows!!!! I am an officer of my HOA in Del Ray, Virginia. We have been a…read morecustomer of Guardian for years. This morning was the FIFTH time in as many weeks they failed to show up for our scheduled sprinkler inspection. Didn't call to tell us they were not coming. Didn't apologize for wasting everyone's time while we waited for the technician. We will never work with them again. Unbelievably unprofessional.
