Fire Extinguishers. |
Water Fire Extinguishers
|
Water Extinguishers are suitable for class A fires caused by the combustion of solid materials, mainly of organic origin, such as: wood, paper, straw, textiles, coal etc.
The 6 litre spray version has passed electrical conductivity tests although should not be used on electrical hazards. Class: A Safe for: Wood, Paper, Textiles Not safe for: Flammable liquid fires, Live electrical equipment, Flammable metal fires |
CO2 fire extinguishers
|
Carbon Dioxide CO2 Extinguishers are suitable for Class B risks involving flammable liquids and for electrical hazards. CO2 is harmless to electrical equipment and is ideal for modern offices, electronic risks, and fires caused by the combustion of liquids such as: oils, fats, solvents etc. The 5 kg size has a 70 B fire rating.
Class: B Safe for: Flammable liquids, Live electrical equipment Not safe for: Wood, Paper, Textiles, Confined spaces |
Powder fire extinguishers
|
Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers are suitable for mixed fire risk environments and are especially suited for flammable liquids and fires involving flammable gases such as methane, propane, hydrogen, natural gas etc.
This range offers a combination of fire performance and ease of service. Class: A Safe for: Wood, Paper, Textiles Class: B Safe for: Flammable liquids, Live electrical equipment Class: C Safe for: Gaseous fires, Live electrical equipment |
Foam fire extinguishers

Foam Extinguishers are ideal where both A & B class fire risks exist. AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) is particularly suited to class B fires caused by the combustion of materials that liquefy such as petrol, oils, fats, paints, tar etc.
This equipment has passed the 35kv electrical conductivity test. Class: A Safe for: Wood, Paper, Textiles Class: B Safe for: Flammable liquids, Live electrical equipment |
Wet chemical fire extinguishers
|
Wet Chemical fire extinguishers are the newest type around and the only ones capable of smothering highly dangerous cooking fat fires (Class F). They are also capable of extinguishing flammable solid and flammable liquid fires.
Insurance companies and the Fire service recommend the use of wet chemical extinguishers in any premises using deep fat fryers and chip pans, e.g. fast food outlets, fish and chip shops, burger vans, restaurants, cafes, canteens etc. A feature that is unique to the wet chemical fire extinguisher is that they are able to extinguish cooking fat fires progressively so no risk of splashing occurs. The liquid cools and smothers the fire in a surponification process which depletes oxygen to the fire and prevents risk of re-ignition. Class: F Safe for: Cooking fat, Flammable solids, Flammable liquids |
