Water fire extinguishers are suitable for Class A fires involving combustible materials such as paper, wood, plastics and textiles. Water is a fast and efficient means of extinguishing these materials. It works by having a rapid cooling effect so that insufficient heat remains to sustain the burning and continuous ignition ceases. They are not suitable for electric type fires.

Colour code is red extinguisher body and red label.

C0₂ fire extinguishers are most suitable for electrical type fires and flammable liquids.

The non-conductive and non-corrosive qualities of C0₂ make it an ideal choice for fires involving electrical equipment such as electrical appliances and machinery.

Colour code is red extinguisher body and black label.

Dry powder fire extinguishers are suitable for Class A, B and C fires. Class C fires involve flammable gases such as propane and butane. Powder is also highly effective for electrical hazards.

The powder interferes with the combustion process and provides rapid fire knock down.

Colour code is red extinguisher body and blue label.

Foam fire extinguishers are a multi purpose extinguisher and are ideal where both Class A (combustible materials) and Class B (flammable liquid risks) are most likely to be found. Class B fires also includes oils, spirits, greases, fats and certain plastics.

The spray provides rapid flame knock down which smothers the flame and prevents re-ignition of flammable vapours by sealing the surface of the solution.

Colour code is red extinguisher body and cream label.

Suitable for use in kitchens and smothering/extinguishing a fire.
