Fire Extinguishers
Your first line of defence, fire extinguishers are required to comply with the Fire Safety Order and are strategically located according to your fire risk assessment.
They are crucial assets to prevent fire spreading at an early stage. Using them safely and effectively will help reduce damage and down time. As well as this, they can help keep a fire under control until further help arrives.
All fire extinguishers and fire blankets supplied by Surefire are manufactured in the UK, are BAFE approved, BSI kitemarked and hold a 3 year warranty, providing you keep up regular maintenance.
Our engineers will ensure that the fire equipment is fully commissioned on installation and that they are correctly placed for your peace of mind. This will provide the best chance to prevent fire spreading if one starts.
As each extinguisher is uniquely colour coded, they are easy to identify and use on the correct fire. The colour coding system works as follows:
Water: colour code red
These extinguishers are filled with ordinary tap water and are best used for fires involving common materials such as paper, wood, fabric, furnishings, etc. Water fire extinguishers are solid red in colour.
AFFF (Foam): colour code cream
Aqueous film forming foam fire extinguishers (AFFF) have excellent all-round capabilities and are ideal for use in a domestic environment. Foam fire extinguishers are red with a cream panel above the user instructions.
Powder: colour code blue
