Fires aren’t planned but you can plan to be ready if a fire occurs, with the correct fire extinguisher, fully serviced and ready to use.
Different types of fires require certain types of fire extinguishers to tackle the fire effectively. Water for paper, CO2 for electrical fires etc. Using the wrong extinguisher can make the fire worse, and even endanger the user. That is why it’s extremely important to have the correct extinguishers for your business to deal with the fires you might experience.
Red fire extinguishers use water and are ideal for putting out Class A fires.
Cream fire extinguishers use foam to put out both Class A and Class B fires.
The dry powder in blue fire extinguishers make them suitable for Class A, B, C, D, and E (electrical) fires.
CO2 makes black fire extinguishers effective for class B and class E fires.
Used for oil fires in kitchens as a Class F and Class A fire extinguisher

Just having a fire extinguisher is not enough. Fire extinguishers lose their effectiveness over time
They can also get damaged, so need to be checked regularly to make sure they’re ready for service when you need it. After all, would you want to be in front of a fire with a non-functioning fire extinguisher?
Fire extinguishers need servicing annually, with most extinguishers requiring an extended service every 5 years. Your fire extinguisher service includes complete checking of the extinguisher condition and components to prolong the life of the extinguisher.
Extended fire extinguisher services include complete discharging and refilling, to ensure the contents are fresh and the extinguisher is working as intended.
The variation to this rule is the black label Co2 fire extinguishers, which require refurbishing 10 years after manufacture.
Regular servicing protects you, the people you work with and your business.
All ISE Fire engineers are fully qualified in fire safety and extinguisher servicing, with regular training and certification (BS5306) to make sure our knowledge is kept up to date.
Our team are proud members of the international quality standard ISO9001 – for the supply and maintenance of fire extinguishers.
Extinguishers are known to put out over 80% of fires (with the others requiring the Fire Service), so it is imperative that extinguishers are fit for purpose and in full working order if the times comes to use one.

A dry powder extinguisher is suitable for tackling most types of fire, and this extinguisher can be identified by the blue band.
This extinguisher can be used for fire classes A, B, C, and electrical fires.
The powder agent within this fire extinguisher is a multipurpose dry chemical, and works by creating a barrier between the fuel element and the oxygen element on class A fires.
Water and foam extinguishers which are placed outside, or in areas with no heating, are susceptible to freezing.
In this situation, the extinguisher would not function and should be destroyed.
Follow the PASS system:
Fire extinguishers come in red, yellow, black, blue and cream.
