Fire Extinguishers & Blankets

One of the most fundamental health and safety items are fire extinguishers and blankets, as they could save your life in an emergency. Fire extinguishers are designed for different classes of fire from Class A to F. These include solid combustibles, flammable liquids, gases, metals and fats. Whilst one type might be suitable for offices and domestic use, you’ll need a different kind for more specialised industrial environments.

What are the Different Types of Fire Extinguishers?

Fire extinguishers are available for a wide range of environments and purposes. Choose from CO2 fire extinguishers, powder fire extinguishers, water fire extinguishers, foam fire extinguishers and wet chemical fire extinguishers. They also come as stored pressure and cartridge operated units, or find mini fire extinguishers that are more compact.

When To Use Fire Blankets & Fire Extinguishers

Fire blankets and fire extinguishers can protect against the most common fire causes in the workplace, home, vehicles and on-site. Fire blankets can help extinguish kitchen or clothing fires by cutting off the oxygen supply.
