About Serviced Fire Equipment
Serviced Fire Equipment is a licensed fire equipment facility at 3200 62nd Ave N in St. Petersburg, Florida — born and raised in the same city we serve.
The story starts in 1999 when my father founded All Florida Fire here in St. Petersburg. He started out of a storage unit — one phone number, a small inventory of refurbished extinguishers, and a customer list built one walk-in at a time. As the business grew we moved into a leased 3,000 sq ft warehouse, then bought our own 3,500 sq ft building, and eventually outgrew that too.
I grew up in this business — learning the equipment, the compliance requirements, the customers, and the industry from the ground up. In 2016 I took over running day-to-day operations as a 40% owner. We built it into a 25-person operation running both walk-in service at the shop and a mobile route covering Tampa Bay.
In April 2024 we sold our mobile service division to Thompson Safety. I took 100% ownership of what remained and rebranded the company as Serviced Fire Equipment. Same legal entity, same EIN, same family — operating continuously since 1999. The decision to sell the mobile side was deliberate. Mobile service is a different business than the one we wanted to be in — it runs on routes, trucks, and service call fees, and it pulls focus away from the work we do best. If you need a technician to come to your location anywhere in the Tampa Bay area, Thompson Safety at (727) 525-5950 is who we send you to. We refer them without hesitation. They’re good people and they do good work.
What we kept — and what we’ve built on — is our 10,000 sq ft St. Petersburg facility. Walk-in service, no appointment, no service call fee. Inspection from $8 per unit. Recharge from $25. Everything handled in-house by a team of 12 people who have been doing this work for years. We process more extinguishers per day than most mobile companies see in a week — and we do it faster, more accurately, and at a fraction of the cost.
My wife and I run the business now. My dad still stops by the shop almost every day he’s in town. The St. Petersburg fire equipment company he started in 1999 is in good hands.
We’re a St. Petersburg company. Always have been.
What We Do
Serviced Fire Equipment operates on two tracks simultaneously — and we’re one of the few facilities in the country that does both well.
Walk-in fire extinguisher service for Tampa Bay businesses
Businesses throughout Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties drive to our St. Petersburg facility for inspection, recharge, certification, CO₂ refills, and hydrostatic testing — all handled in-house, same day, no appointment needed. No service call fee. No scheduling delays. No waiting on a technician.
For a business managing 10 extinguishers, the difference between walk-in service at our facility and calling a mobile company is typically $100 to $300 per visit — just in trip charges. Over five years that’s real money.
National wholesale and dealer supply
Fire equipment dealers across the continental United States rely on us for certified refurbished extinguishers, new bulk units from Amerex, Ansul, Buckeye, Victory, and Pyro-Chem, and overflow hydrostatic testing support. Every unit we ship arrives certified and tagged on arrival — compliant with NFPA 10, ready to mount, no additional service call required.
We don’t compete with local fire equipment companies. We supply them.
Both sides of the business run out of the same St. Petersburg facility, supported by the same team of 12 certified technicians and staff who have been doing this work for years.
What Sets Us Apart
There are a lot of fire equipment companies in the Tampa Bay area. Here’s what makes us different.
We’re a DOT-authorized hydrostatic testing facility
Most fire equipment companies outsource hydrostatic testing to a third party — adding time, cost, and a second vendor to manage. We perform all hydrostatic testing in-house using the water jacket method. Fire extinguisher cylinders, CO₂ tanks, SCBA cylinders, and SCUBA tanks — all tested on-site, all documented properly, no outsourcing.
We stock certified refurbished extinguishers for same-day swap-out
When a unit fails inspection at our facility, we don’t send you away empty-handed. We swap it out on the spot with a certified refurbished unit of similar condition that fits the same bracket — fully charged, tagged, and certified. You leave with compliant equipment every single visit.
We supply fire equipment dealers nationwide
Our wholesale and bulk extinguisher program ships certified and tagged units to fire equipment dealers, contractors, and property managers across the continental United States. Amerex, Ansul, Buckeye, Victory, and Pyro-Chem — below MSRP, minimum 50 units, 1-2 week lead time. Every unit arrives compliant and ready to deploy.
We service everything in-house
ABC dry chemical, CO₂, Class K kitchen, clean agent systems, Ansul Red Line, marine fire systems, kitchen hood suppression, paint booth suppression — all handled by our team at our St. Petersburg facility. No subcontractors. No outsourcing. No surprises.
We’ve been doing this since 1999
Over 25 years of fire equipment experience in the same facility, serving the same community. That’s not something you build overnight — and it’s not something a national chain franchise can replicate.
