Choosing fire extinguisher types for the relevant class of fire could literally be the difference between life and death. So here’s a useful guide on how to choose the right type and class of fire extinguisher for the appropriate scenario, including colour codes, fire classes and uses. The various types of fire extinguisher put out fires started with different types of fuel – these are called ‘classes’ of fire. The fire risk from the different classes of fire in your business premises will determine which fire extinguisher types you need.Foam is designed to smother with a film on the surface of the fire, but the film will not survive the high temperatures reached in a Li-Ion fire. The same applies to Wet Chemical. Just 38% of adults know which extinguisher to use on each class of fire*. This statistic highlights the confusion that surrounds the existing variety of solutions on the market. A jet nozzle is eschewed in favour of a spray nozzle, which creates a fine spray courtesy of the higher pressure. Hitting a broader surface area this extracts heat more rapidly. Surfactants can be added to help the water penetrate further into burning material. Foam extinguishers (cream label)

In 2017, it was reported that nearly four in 10 construction workers were using the wrong type of fire extinguisher to deal with electrical fires – a survey revealed. In addition, electrical fires have become more common causes of fire due to a greater reliance on electrical products and batteries. In 2021, electricity was the top reported cause of fire (19%) according to a fire industry survey, so it’s important to know which extinguishant should be used. Specialist lithium-ion battery fire extinguishers should contain Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD). This extinguishing agent is made up of Vermiculite particles chemically suspended in water, discharged in a fine mist which provides both a cooling effect and forms a heatproof barrier around the burning battery cell to prevent propagation and re-ignition. Vermiculite has strong thermal insulation properties and therefore prevents heat transfer from the burning cell to its surroundings. How to use a fire extinguisherWet chemical extinguishers create a layer of foam on the surface of the burning oil or fat, preventing oxygen from fuelling the fire any further. The spray also has a cooling effect. There may be a higher delivery charge if you live in the Islands or a remote location in the UK. Please see our list of “Islands and remote location” postcodes.

Foam fire extinguishers are most common type of extinguisher for Class B fires, but also work on Class A fires as they are water-based. This innovative solution is likely to be adopted in workplaces and homes across the globe in the near future. That’s why we’re proud to be ahead of the curve and we look forward to installing them in client premises across the UK. Firexo extinguishers are a game changing development in fire safety

There are five different types of fire extinguisher currently used in business properties across the UK. These include: Dry powder extinguishers smother fires by forming a barrier between the fuel and the source of oxygen. CO2 fire extinguishers are predominantly used for electrical fire risks and are usually the main extinguisher type provided in computer server rooms. They also put out Class B fires (flammable liquids, such as paint and petroleum). The good news is that portable fire extinguishers are effective and are saving lives. According to a survey from companies in the four main trade associations in the UK fire sector, the number of fires being successfully extinguished by portable devices has increased from 80% in 2003 to 93% in 2021.
