Oklahoma licenses fire extinguisher companies, qualified agents and technicians under the Fire Extinguisher Licensing Act (59 O.S. 1820.1 and following) and the State Fire Marshal Commission's rules in OAC 265:50. Its tags work like a traffic light: bright green for a working unit, bright red for one that is not. Here is each rule with a link to the official text, and what an Oklahoma fire extinguisher report should record.

What Oklahoma requires

  • No one may run a fire extinguisher industry business in Oklahoma without a license under the Fire Extinguisher Licensing Act. Each company office has its own license and a licensed qualified agent responsible for it; technicians work for a licensed company under the qualified agent, a licensed technician or qualified agent is on site for any work, and trainees (no more than three per supervisor on a job) work under direct supervision59 O.S. 1820.8, 1820.5 · OAC 265:50-3-3 (amended eff. 2025-07-25)
  • Anyone who services, inspects, certifies, charges or tests a portable fire extinguisher affixes a tag with the date and their legible signature and state license number; on the green and red tags the certifying technician's signature, printed name and license number appear59 O.S. 1820.10 · OAC 265:50-5-1 (a) (3) (D), (b) (3) (D)
  • Green and red tags give the service company's name, address and local office telephone number and the company's license numberOAC 265:50-5-1 (a) (3) (B), (C)
  • A traffic light bright green tag (5 1/4 by 2 5/8 inches; white weather resistant self-adhesive allowed in wet areas) is the record of the last annual inspection or initial certification where the extinguisher was operable with no impairments; the inspection follows NFPA testing standards and the manufacturer's specifications, and the tag reads "DO NOT REMOVE BY ORDER OF THE FIRE CODE OFFICIAL" with the company, its license, the technician and the dateOAC 265:50-5-1 (a)
  • A traffic light bright red tag goes on an extinguisher that is inoperable or has not been properly tested, listing the deficiencies that make it inoperable and any other deficiencies present, with the company, its license, the technician and the month and year; the company notifies the building owner or agent and the fire code official in writing of all impairments immediately or as soon as practicable, and no later than 24 hoursOAC 265:50-5-1 (b)
  • Only a portable fire extinguisher technician employed by a licensed company, or the fire code official, may remove a green or red annual inspection tagOAC 265:50-5-1 (a) (4), (b) (4)
  • The Act covers everyone servicing, installing, inspecting, certifying, charging or testing portable fire extinguishers, except public employees on official duty, people installing their own equipment in their own single-family home, and the sale of extinguishers meant for customer installation59 O.S. 1820.4, 1820.5

Licensed companies, agents and technicians

Each company office needs its own license and a licensed qualified agent. Technicians work for a licensed company under that agent, a licensed technician or agent is on site for any work, and trainees work under direct supervision, no more than three per supervisor on a job.

Green tags

The bright green tag records the last annual inspection or initial certification of a unit found operable with no impairments, done to NFPA standards and the manufacturer's specifications. It shows the fire code official warning, the company's name, address, local phone and license, the technician's signature, printed name and license number, and the date.

Red tags and the 24-hour notice

The bright red tag marks a unit that is inoperable or was not properly tested. It lists the deficiencies that make it inoperable and any others present. The company tells the building owner or agent and the fire code official in writing within 24 hours. Only the company's technician or the fire code official may remove a tag.

From the walkthrough to a finished Oklahoma report

Note each unit's serial number, whether it worked, which tag went on, and every deficiency on a red-tagged unit. ReportDraft lists the tags by serial number with the company and technician license numbers in the header, and writes the deficiencies out for the 24-hour notice.

Common mistakes

  • A green tag on a unit with an impairment.
  • A red tag that lists only the main problem and not the other deficiencies.
  • Missing the 24-hour written notice to the owner and fire code official.
  • No printed name or license number for the technician on the tag.
  • Work done with no licensed technician or qualified agent on site.
