A fire extinguisher, or extinguisher, is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire department. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire.

• Foam fire extinguishers are very versatile and can be used to provide protection against both Class A and Class B fires, so they can be installed in a variety of locations that are at risk of material fires, as well as flammable liquid fires. The foam they release is also non- conductive, so it lowers the risk of electric shock if the fire contains electrical equipment.
• The foam is used to effectively suffocate fire, by sealing the surface of burning materials or objects, and smothering it. This also cools the surface of the fire and prevents any stray materials from scattering and starting secondary fires elsewhere.

Eco-Foam Fire Extinguishers
We offer a range of Eco-Foam fire extinguishers that help towards reducing your carbon footprint, as the foam has almost no negative effects on the environment. This is because foam extinguishers must be discharged and refilled every 5 years to ensure that they remain effective, and the foam is simply disposed of. The Eco-Foam is almost completely biodegradable and doesn't contain any potentially harmful perfluorinate surfactants, so it will not harm the environment when the time comes to replace it.
Water fire extinguishers are extremely effective at tackling Class A fires that contain combustible materials. This makes them ideal for residential locations, schools, hotels and retail premises, as they can safely be used on:

• Computers
• Live cables
• Engine oils
• Petrol and fuels
• The CO2 works by cutting off the oxygen supply of the fire, effectively smothering it to extinguish the flames - and because it's a gas, it doesn't leave any sticky residues or soggy puddles.
• Whether you can rely on CO2 extinguishers completely or you need a combination of different types to provide complete protection, our team can assess your requirements and recommend the ideal combination.

• Restaurants and cafes
