Overview
A defined scope across fire equipment.
Lee Mechanical provides fire extinguisher, emergency and exit lighting, and kitchen hood suppression services designed to keep equipment compliant, organized, and ready for use.
Design · Kitchen Hood Systems
Kitchen Hood Suppression Systems
Kitchen hood systems are engineered for each kitchen. Lee designs them with full calculations and nozzle placement specific to your cooking line, then handles the complete installation and ongoing service. NFPA 96 calls for service by a trained, certified technician at least every six months, and your staff should also do a quick monthly check.
Installation
Adding Fire Equipment as Your Building Changes
Extinguisher and exit light locations are usually set by the architect when a building is designed, but buildings change. Lee installs and adds equipment as your needs change, including:
- Additional fire extinguishers where coverage is needed
- Exit signs and emergency lighting
- Replacement of failed or outdated units
- Kitchen hood suppression system installation
Installation · Emergency & Exit Lighting
Emergency and Exit Lighting
Emergency and exit lights guide people out of a building when it matters most. Lee supports:
- Inspection and testing of emergency and exit lighting
- Repair and replacement of failed units
- Adding exit and emergency lighting as building needs change
NFPA 101 requires emergency and exit lighting to be tested monthly for at least 30 seconds, and battery units annually for 90 minutes. Lee can handle the testing, add units after construction as your building changes, and give you the written records the code asks you to keep.
Inspection
Inspection & Testing for All of Your Fire Equipment
Each type of fire equipment has its own inspection schedule. Lee keeps them on one calendar:
- Fire extinguishers: annual maintenance to NFPA 10, plus monthly checks your staff can do
- Emergency and exit lighting: monthly and annual testing under NFPA 101
- Kitchen hood systems: service at least every six months under NFPA 96 and NFPA 17A
- Written records to show your fire official
Inspection · Extended Maintenance
Coordinated Service for Extended Maintenance
Certain extinguisher services—such as internal maintenance or hydrostatic testing—require specialized processes. When needed, Lee coordinates these services through qualified partners while continuing to manage:
This ensures continuity without burdening the customer with multiple service providers.
Long-Term Support
Managing Units That Require Additional Service
Some fire extinguishers require deeper service at defined intervals or after use. Lee helps identify and manage those situations, including:
A proactive approach helps ensure coverage is maintained without disruption.
Long-Term Support · Swap-Out & Replacement
Swap-Out and Replacement Support
When extinguishers require additional service or replacement, maintaining coverage is critical. Lee supports:
- Replacement of discharged or damaged extinguishers
- Swap-out programs for units requiring extended service
- Efficient transition between removal and replacement
This helps prevent gaps in coverage and keeps systems aligned with life safety expectations.
Long-Term Support · Documentation
Organization, Documentation, and Visibility
A well-managed fire equipment program depends on clear records and consistent tracking. Lee’s approach includes:
- Organized inspection records
- Clear identification of service needs
- Structured tracking of units and service intervals
- Practical recommendations for maintaining compliance
This creates a more predictable and manageable system over time.
Long-Term Support · Proactive Programs
A Proactive Approach to Fire Equipment Programs
Waiting until extinguishers are due—or after they are used—can create unnecessary urgency.
