We offer a variety of fire extinguishers to suit different needs.
Here are the main types we supply:
Water Fire Extinguishers: These are effective for Class A fires, which involve combustible carbon-based solids like paper, wood, or textiles. They are easily recognizable by their red colour.
Foam Fire Extinguishers: Suitable for both Class A and Class B fires, foam extinguishers work well on flammable liquids such as paraffin, petrol, diesel, or oil (excluding cooking oil). They are identified by a cream-colored band.
Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers: Available in standard and specialist variants, dry powder extinguishers cover Class A, B, and C fires. They are effective against flammable gases (like butane, propane, or methane) and burning metals (such as aluminium, lithium, or magnesium). Look for the lilac colour for dry powder extinguishers.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguishers: These are suitable for electrical fires (indicated by an electric spark symbol) and are also effective for Class B fires. CO2 extinguishers are black in colour.
Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers: Specifically designed for Class F fires, which involve fats and cooking oils. They are recognizable by their yellow coding.
Remember that choosing the right type of fire extinguisher is crucial, as it can make a significant difference in emergency situations. Each type is designed for specific fire classes, so understanding the materials present in the area you want to protect is essential.
