Fire extinguisher service in Durban.

The address the company started at

Eagle Fire Control was founded in 1969 and has traded from Stamford Hill ever since — the oldest South African owned fire protection and detection business in the country, still working out of the premises it grew up in. The yard on Cypress Avenue is where the vehicles go out from and where your equipment comes back to.

Dialling 031 312 9284 reaches that building. Not a national contact centre, and not a subcontractor who will quote you separately once he has seen the site.

Where your extinguishers go

Servicing an extinguisher properly is a workshop job, not something done off the back of a vehicle in your car park. Units are stripped down, internally inspected, refilled and pressure tested on SANAS-registered equipment, then returned with the certification your insurer or local authority will ask to see.

Because that takes the unit off your wall for a period, equivalent loan equipment goes up in its place for the full duration. Your extinguisher count never drops, so neither does your compliance position. Read how the servicing process works in detail →

Coverage across KwaZulu-Natal

The branch works across the Durban metro and out into the province — the CBD, Berea and Stamford Hill, the Bluff and Isipingo, Westville, Pinetown and New Germany, Hillcrest and Kloof, Umhlanga, Mount Edgecombe and Ballito on the north coast, Amanzimtoti and the south coast, and inland to Pietermaritzburg.

Sites needing more than extinguishers are covered from the same branch: ASIB sprinkler work, detection and alarm systems, staff fire training and risk assessments and safety files — one contractor rather than four pointing at each other when an inspection goes badly.
