If deficiencies are found during your inspection, depending on the severity of the deficiency, one of the following actions will take place:

1. The inspector will have you correct the deficiency while they are on site with you.

2. The inspector will issue a report and you will have forty five (45) days to correct the deficiency. Depending on the specific deficiency, sometimes an inspector will come back to re-inspect, or sometimes a picture of the corrected deficiency will suffice. 

In short, do not worry about failing an inspection. The West Manatee Fire and Rescue District is not looking to penalize you. We are looking to work with you to ensure the safety of all your guests and our first responders. Think of your inspection as more of a consultation. Even if you believe your TPLE is not ready, schedule your inspection anyway!

1.   Contact a professional: If you are unsure about the status of the certification, it's best to contact a certified fire protection professional or a company that provides fire extinguisher services. They can inspect the extinguisher and provide you with a clear answer about its certification status.

2.   Check the inspection tag/sticker: Look for a tag/sticker attached to the fire extinguisher. This tag should indicate the last date of inspection or servicing. Every fire extinguisher shall be inspected on a yearly basis. 

Regular maintenance and inspection of fire extinguishers are essential for ensuring their effectiveness in case of emergencies.
