What we see in Owensboro
Owensboro sits on a bend of the Ohio River and is the fourth-biggest city in Kentucky. There are hospitals, schools, and offices, and plants that make auto parts, food, and packaging.
A hospital, a school, or a big office can have hundreds of exit signs and emergency lights, and every one has to come on when the power goes out. We service those along with the fire alarms and every extinguisher in the building.
A plant is a different job. When flammable liquids, dust, or a process line are more than a handheld can cover, we match the system to the hazard. That might be a suppression system, an engineered system, or a special hazard system. If you’re not sure whether extinguishers cover it, we’ll walk the plant and tell you straight.
There are plenty of restaurants downtown and along the river, and every cook line has a hood system over it. We service it every six months, and we can work while the kitchen is cooking. That’s UL 300 kitchen suppression.
Our trucks carry loaners. If an extinguisher has to come back to the shop, a loaner goes up in its place until yours is back.
We do more than extinguishers, too. We inspect, test, service, and repair fire alarm systems, and we put in new ones. We also put in security systems and cameras. A plant that makes auto parts, food, or packaging might want cameras on the shipping docks and the employee lot. A hospital or a school can set up access control so the outside doors only let in the people who belong there, and a restaurant downtown might want a camera on the back door where the deliveries come in. We can set up monitoring on your security system and your fire alarm, so somebody is watching when the building’s empty. It’s one company and one number for all of it.
Towboats and personal boats
If you run towboats between Owensboro and Henderson, that’s our river and marine work. Our techs catch a ride out and board the boat while it’s working. If it’s your own pontoon, fishing boat, or ski boat, that’s pleasure craft. We do the extinguishers on it, and we install and service the fire system in the engine compartment too.

Compliance
The national standard for portable extinguishers is NFPA 10, and that’s what our techs follow in every Owensboro building, from the hospitals and schools to the plants. When the fire marshal or a local inspector asks for something beyond that, their word is final, and we work to it. Plants and hospitals also have OSHA to answer to, and we keep that in mind on the visit. We leave a report you can hand to any of them.
Owensboro questions
- Which shop sends the trucks to Owensboro?
- Our Madisonville shop at 1503 West Noel Avenue, Madisonville, KY 42431. We don’t have a shop in Owensboro, but that doesn’t change much for you, because the tech drives the truck to your building and does the work there.
- We run a hospital, school, or office with a lot of exit signs. Can you do all of them?
- Yes. At the yearly visit we run the full 90-minute battery test on every exit sign and emergency light, along with the extinguishers. In between, your people can do the 30-day, 30-second test, or we can.
- We have a plant or warehouse with flammable liquids. Who do we talk to?
- Call 1-800-348-9604. We’ll come look at it and tell you whether extinguishers cover it or you need a system.
- Do you work on towboats and personal boats?
- Yes, both. Towboats and other working boats fall under our river and marine work. Personal boats are pleasure craft, and we do the extinguishers and the engine compartment system on those.
- We run a restaurant downtown. How does the hood service work?
- Every six months a tech services the hood system, and that can happen while your kitchen is cooking. We service UL 300 systems of all makes. If yours is an older system that isn’t UL 300, it has to be replaced. Your cook line also needs a Class K extinguisher close by, and we look after that one along with the rest.
