QR fire extinguisher tracking
How QR tracking works for fire equipment
The “tag” in FireTag is a QR label on every piece of fire equipment. One scan opens that exact unit’s full history — so technicians in the field and clients in their portal always see the same, current compliance status. Here’s how it works.
From label to live record in four steps
Tag the equipment
Each extinguisher, hose or system gets a durable QR label linked to its own record in FireTag.
Scan on site
A technician scans the tag with a phone and instantly sees that unit’s history and what’s due.
Inspect and sign off
The inspection is recorded against the unit — date, result and photos.
Everyone stays in sync
The record updates immediately, and the client sees the new status in the FireTag Connect portal.
What one scan shows you
Every tag links to a single source of truth for that piece of equipment:
- The full service history — every past inspection, maintenance and recharge.
- The next due date for each required interval.
- Current compliance status, at a glance.
- Photos and notes captured during inspections.
- Where the unit is installed, and which client it belongs to.
Who scans the tag
In the field
Pull up the right unit instantly, run the inspection and record it on the spot — no clipboard, no re-keying back at the office.
In the Connect portal
Building owners scan or log in to see their own equipment, compliance status and upcoming services, and request work.
When it counts
A clean, time-stamped, photographed record is ready for the authority having jurisdiction or your insurer.
