Firefly Fire Protection Supply All Types of Fire Extinguishers
Water ExtinguishersThese are the most economical and widely used fire extinguishers and can be found in offices, schools, hotels and warehouses. Used to tackle the fires of freely combustible materials such as paper, plastic and fabrics. Under no circumstances must water extinguishers be used on electrical or Class F fires as electrocution or a dangerous oil expansion can occur. Water Fire Extinguisher labelling is RED.
Foam Spray ExtinguishersFoam creates a barrier between the burning material and the air thus starving it of oxygen and extinguishing the fire. More versatile than water, foam fire extinguishers can be used on both Class A and B (flammable liquids) fires. It can also be used to fight electrical fires but it is not recommended as it will cause irreversible damage to electrical components. Foam Fire Extinguisher labelling is YELLOW/CREAM.
Dry Powder ExtinguishersOften the choice of commercial premises for its ability to tackle the majority of common workplace fires. ABC Powder Extinguishers are suitable for Class A, B, C and Electrical fires. They are not suitable for kitchen fires involving the burning of oils and fats and precaution should always be taken not to inhale the powder. For this reason we do not recommend ABC Powder Extinguishers for use in small spaces. Powder Fire Extinguisher labelling is BLUE.
Wet Chemical ExtinguishersThese are specialised extinguishers for the use with fat or oil based fires often associated with kitchens. They are potentially hazardous to the user as they can produce harmful, toxic fumes. The chemicals in them bond with the ignited oil or fat producing an emulsion or a cake of soap that starts to cool and extinguish the fire. Wet Chemical Extinguishers can also be used on Class A and B fires. Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher labelling is ORANGE/YELLOW.
CO2 ExtinguishersDue to the fact that these extinguishers use carbon dioxide gas as a fire suppressor they are ideal for tackling electrical fires as the electricity cannot conduct via the gas and electrocute the user. Care should be taken as the compressed carbon dioxide, when released, is extremely cold and can cause cold burns if sprayed upon naked skin or if the user should hold onto the extinguisher cone for any length of time. The use of CO2 in small spaces should also be avoided if possible as it will lower the available oxygen in the room which could lead to breathing difficulties. Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers can also be used on Class B fires. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher labelling is BLACK.
Dry Water Mist ExtinguishersOur broad spectrum water mist fire extinguishers present ground-breaking fire fighting technology. Also known as 'dry' water mist extinguishers due to the microscopic droplets they discharge, the design of the water mist extinguishers' supersonic nozzle creates a mist curtain which reduces the oxygen content (required for combustion) around the fire, extinguishes the flames and creates a highly effective cooling blanket on the burning material, preventing re-ignition. Water mist extinguisher can be used on A, B, C type fires and on live electrical equipment, as it is tested up to 35000 Volt and only contains de-ionised water, which cannot conduct electricity. It even has an F (deep fat fryer fires) rating. The units are ideal for offices, nurseries, schools, churches, HMOs, smaller kitchens and areas where a messy discharge would be a problem. They are, of course, also perfect as general household extinguishers
