You may ask the question about the different types of extinguishers you will need for your premises with a fire extinguisher installation.
So here’s is a quick and handy guide that will help you understand what you need:
Powder extinguishers: powder fire extinguishers are used in what we call ‘mixed risk’ environments because they provide excellent all round fire protection. Powder fire extinguishers are also the only extinguisher that will work on fires involving flammable gases.
Foam extinguishers: The foam fire extinguisher is ideal for use on fires which involve solid combustible materials and are also highly effective on flammable liquid fires, such as paraffin or petrol. Because they leave a layer of foam this helps prevent re-ignition once the fire’s been initially put out.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers: The carbon dioxide fire extinguisher – or ‘CO2’ extinguishers – are also used on flammable liquid fires and in addition are extremely good at putting out fires which involve electrical equipment. CO2 is also known as one of the cleanest types of extinguisher because it doesn’t leave any residue behind when it’s used on fires.
Water extinguishers: The water fire extinguisher can be used when the fire involves solid combustible materials such as paper, wood or fabric. But it’s very important to remember that water conducts electricity and so you must not use water fire extinguishers around electrical equipment (apart from some types of water extinguishers which contain additives).
Wet chemical extinguishers: The wet chemical extinguisher is used for what are termed ‘Class F’ fires. These involve cooking oils and fats, such as lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, maize oil and butter and so you often find these extinguishers in industrial kitchens throughout Ireland. They are very effective as the wet chemical rapidly knocks the flames out, cools the burning oil and chemically reacts to form a soap-like solution, sealing the surface and preventing the fire re-igniting.
