Fire Safety Tips and Portland-Specific Insights
Fire safety is a shared responsibility, and knowledge is key to preventing disasters. Here are some essential tips and facts tailored to Portland businesses:
- Portland Fire Statistics: Portland Fire & Rescue responds to thousands of fire calls annually. In recent years, over 70% of fire incidents in the city occurred in residential and commercial buildings. Proper fire prevention measures are critical to reducing these numbers.
- Keep Exits Clear: Ensure all emergency exits are free from obstructions. Blocked exits are a common fire code violation and can hinder evacuation during emergencies.
- Test Your Alarms: Smoke detectors and fire alarms should be tested monthly and have their batteries replaced at least once a year.
- Be Mindful of Wildfire Risks: Portland businesses near wooded areas or green spaces should implement firebreaks and maintain defensible space to reduce the risk of wildfires, which have become more frequent in Oregon.
- Grease Fires in Kitchens: Never use water to extinguish a grease fire—it can cause the fire to spread. Instead, use a Class K fire extinguisher or a fire suppression system designed for kitchens.
- Portable Heaters: In colder months, ensure portable heaters are placed at least three feet away from flammable materials, as they are a leading cause of fires in commercial and residential spaces.
- Fire Drill Frequency: Conduct fire drills at least twice a year to familiarize employees with evacuation procedures and improve response times.
By incorporating these tips and working with a trusted fire protection partner, you can significantly reduce fire risks in your business.

Outstanding knowledge, ability, and professionalism. With have worked with some other companies in the past but now we have the certified professionals we need to get the job done. When they say they are going to be there, they are and they know what they are doing. They cost a little more than others we have used but in my mind, this is money well spent.
Great Company

We have been using C&S Fire Safe Service to help train our tech on hood suppression systems. Their technician Earl Penland has been absolutely amazing with us and I have not had a single complaint from any of our customers that he has worked on. Although we are a competitor of theirs in the Portland market I can still honestly say that anybody that chooses to use this company for the many services they offer is going to be happy with their service and work. We will continue using them going forward for certain jobs. and if you are looking at this company I honestly urge you to give them a call and speak with them. Way to go C&S Fire Safe Services and Earl!
Response from C & S Fire-Safe Services LLC:

Great Company
Aaron - Portland, OR 97221
We have been using C&S Fire Safe Services to assist our company with some services for about 9 months now and they have gone above and beyond in everything they do. Their technician Earl Penland has been great to work with and really knows his stuff, and has trained our technician the entire time so that we can handle alot of our jobs ourselves and I think we are better for it. Due to how they great they are in treating our customers with respect and for training my technician we are going to go ahead and keep them on as a backup and to continue offering services that we cannot do or are out of our service area. I would never hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks Earl for all your hard work and thanks Steve for letting us continue to work together with your company!

I was called by the customer and they wanted to schedule the fire suppression inspection of the Ansul kitchen system. I arrived and did a quick visual for any known problems then started to do the testing and inspection of the system. Three of the cylinders in the system needed to have a hydrotest done on them. I swapped the tanks out to get them tested. I replaced the cartridges and changed out the fusible links, caps and nozzles that needed it. They are up and running now and I let the manager know that I would be back when the cylinders were done being hydrotested to put their cylinders back in the system.

Customer was on my list to get done for my normal work orders. I called and got them on the schedule for their annual fire extinguisher inspections. I arrived and did a quick walkthrough to check for placement of the fire extinguishers. I then removed the fire extinguishers one by one and got them inspected and maintenanced as needed. I wiped them down and put them back in their positions. I let the customer know that I would call her next year around the same time to get her on the schedule for the inspection again. I let her know that if she had any that were used in the meantime she could call and I would get it refilled and ready for service.

Performed a scheduled inspection of their fire sprinkler system. After checking in with the maintenance supervisor, I conducted a thorough examination of the sprinkler components, including the control valves, pressure gauges, and sprinkler heads. During the inspection, I discovered a corroded sprinkler head in the warehouse and a pressure gauge on the main riser showing readings below the required operating range. To resolve these issues, I replaced the corroded sprinkler head with a new one and adjusted the system’s pressure to meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Once the repairs were completed, I performed a flow test to ensure the system was functioning properly. I updated the inspection records, informed the supervisor of the repairs, and recommended scheduling follow-up checks to prevent further issues.
