Fire Extinguishers

We supply, install, and maintain a comprehensive range of fire extinguishers tailored to various fire classes. Portable extinguishers are essential first-response tools for combating fires in their initial stages. They are categorized based on the extinguishing agent used:

• Dry Powder Extinguishers: Effective against Class A (combustibles), B (flammable liquids), and C (flammable gases) fires. They work by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire.
• CO₂ Extinguishers: Ideal for Class B and electrical fires. CO₂ displaces oxygen, smothering the fire without leaving residue, making it suitable for sensitive equipment.
• Water Extinguishers: Best for Class A fires. They cool the burning material below its ignition temperature.
• Foam Extinguishers: Suitable for Class A and B fires. Foam forms a barrier, preventing re-ignition.
• Wet Chemical Extinguishers: Designed for Class F fires (cooking oils and fats). They cool and form a soapy layer to prevent re-ignition.
• Clean Agent Extinguishers: Use halocarbon agents to interrupt the combustion process, effective on Class B and C fires, and safe for electrical equipment.
• De-ionized Water Extinguishers: Suitable for Class C fires. The de-ionized water doesn't conduct electricity, making it safe for electrical fires.
