Fire Extinguishers
The use of fire extinguishers should form part of your Fire risk assessment and is a legal requirment. We can help with this assessment and provide quotations to supply and install adequate equipment in your premises. Thereafter our FETA trained engineers will service the equipment in accordance with BS 5306 and provide ongoing advice and training of which extinguisher to use on what type of fire.

WATER FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
are especially designed for tackling Class A fires (wood, paper, straw, textiles, coal etc.).

FOAM FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
are ideally suited where both Class A & B fire risks exist. Aqueous Film Forming Foam or AFFF is particularly suited to fight liquid spill fires such as petrol, oil, fats, paints etc. and works by forming a film on the liquid to extinguish the fire.

CARBON DIOXIDE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
are suitable for Class B risks involving flammable liquids and especially for electrical hazards. These extinguishers have been a natural replacement for Halon. CO2 is harmless to electrical equipment and as such is ideal for modern offices, electronic risks, and fires caused by the combustion of liquids such as: oils, fats, solvents, etc.

POWDER FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
are especially suited to mixed fire risk environments and a good all round extinguisher. They are also suitable for flammable liquid risk, such as methane, propane, hydrogen, natural gas etc.

WET CHEMICAL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
are especially designed for tackling cooking oil / deep fat fryer (Class F) fires, but also have an effective capability for extinguishing Class A fires (wood, paper, straw, textiles, coal etc.). This extinguisher has also passed the electrical conductivity test at 35kv.
