One type of extinguisher doesn’t fight all fires, so making sure you have the right equipment to do the job is critical. We’ll advise you on the types of extinguishers you need and provide professional support and ongoing service to ensure they operate effectively.
We provide quality equipment which meets all British standards, and our team can provide ongoing support and maintenance to make sure your business stays safe.
TYPES OF EXTINGUISHERS
Water
Water extinguishers are suitable for Class A type fires involving free burning combustible materials such as wood, paper and fabrics. Water is a fast and efficient means of extinguishing these materials by quenching and cooling the fire. Due to waters conductive nature, Water extinguishers should not be used around electrical equipment.
Foam
Foam spray extinguishers (AFFF – Aqueous Film Forming Foam) are suitable for both Class A and Class B. These extinguishers are especially suitable for Class B fires involving flammable liquids such as oils, spirits, grease, fats and certain plastics.
Dry Powder
Dry Powder extinguishers are suitable for most fires in Classes A, B and C involving flammable gases, electrical hazards, and oil-based liquids.
Wet Chemical
Wet chemical extinguishers are suitable for Class A and F fires. The perfect solution for tackling large burning cooking oil fires, wet chemical extinguishers are ideally suited to the kitchen environment.
Carbon Dioxide
CO2 extinguishers are suitable for fires involving flammable liquids and electrical hazards. CO2 gas are an ideal choice for use on fires involving electrical equipment and machinery as they are non-corrosive, nonconductive and leave no residue. We supply our 2kg CO2 extinguishers with an insulated horn to prevent frost burn to the responsible person operating.
Smiths Fire LLP offers comprehensive sign surveys to ensure regulatory compliance and proper fire safety signage placement. Our technicians would identify existing issues and advise on necessary improvements or additional signage.
A fee applies for the survey. If you accept our quote, the survey cost will be deducted from the final invoice unless the invoice is less than the survey fee, in which case the fee will be adjusted accordingly.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 mandates that workplaces display clear signs for fire-fighting equipment, emergency routes, and exits. These signs warn and instruct employees about fire hazards, helping to protect their safety. Without proper signage, employees’ lives are at risk. Employers are legally responsible for ensuring health and safety, and fire safety signs are essential for compliance.
