More on Fire Extinguishers

What types of fire extinguishers are available? Open

The main types of fire extinguishers are water, foam, dry powder, CO2, and wet chemical. Each type is designed to tackle specific fire classes, such as electrical fires (CO2), flammable liquids (foam and dry powder), or cooking oil fires (wet chemical). Always check the label to ensure you’re using the right extinguisher for the fire.

Which fire extinguisher should I use for my home or business? Open

This depends on the fire risks present. For most homes, a water or foam extinguisher is suitable for general fires, while a CO₂ extinguisher is ideal for electrical fires. Commercial settings may require a mix—consult your fire risk assessment or a professional for guidance.

How often should fire extinguishers be serviced? Open

Fire extinguishers should be serviced annually by a qualified technician. Regular checks should also be carried out to ensure the extinguisher is accessible, undamaged, and fully charged.

How long do fire extinguishers last? Open

Most fire extinguishers have a lifespan of 5 to 15 years, depending on type, usage, and maintenance. The expiry date or service life is usually marked on the cylinder.

How do I check if my fire extinguisher is safe to use? Open

Inspect the pressure gauge (it should be in the green zone), check for damage, ensure the safety pin is intact, and confirm the extinguisher is within its service date. Schedule regular fire extinguisher inspections for added peace of mind.
