Fire Extinguishers

No single type of extinguisher is totally effective on every kind of fire. So, before buying a fire extinguisher, it is vital to look carefully at what type of fire it can be used on. If in any doubt please contact us and we will be happy to help.

 

This chart shows you what type of extinguisher can be used on different types of fire risks.

 

Each risk type has a letter associated with it (A, B, C, D, F), with the exception of electrical risk. Fire extinguishers for sale in the UK are all marked with some of these letters to indicate which risk the extinguisher can be used for.
