When you are in a building, you will have noticed that not all of their fire extinguishers are the same – the labels on them are different colours so the fire marshal can easily identify the different types of fire extinguisher and establish which one of them is necessary in the event of a fire.

The main types of fire extinguishers available to us which extinguish fire are:

Water extinguishers,
Foam extinguishers,
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers,
Dry Powder extinguishers and
Wet Chemical extinguishers.

Whatever fire extinguishers you have in your building, you are responsible for regularly maintenance so, should a fire break out, they will work as they should and any damage is kept to a minimum. At Total Safe UK, we carry out your fire extinguisher maintenance with a thorough and detailed examination every year, ensuring your extinguishers meet UK regulations.

If you feel your business would benefit from more fire safety guidance and support or your fire marshals could use further fire safety training with regards to the different types of fire extinguisher or any other part of their fire marshal duties, contact us today.
