Fire Extinguishers

Active Fire Protection

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. An extinguisher is used by directing onto the fire the stored agent that cools the burning material, depriving the flame of oxygen or interferes with the chemical reaction occurring in the flame.

Control Small Fires

Fire extinguishers are intended to be used to control a small fire before it becomes out of control and endangers the user and requires the expertise of the fire brigade to put out. By containing a fire before it becomes out of control, not only will it help protect the lives of people in the area but also minimize the damage and loss to your assets.
