There are 5 main fire extinguisher types – Water, Foam, Dry Powder, CO2 and Wet Chemical. To ensure you’re adequately protected, and you meet current fire safety regulations, you need to have the right types of fire extinguisher for your business premises.

Class A fires

Water extinguishers are the most common fire extinguisher type for Class A fire risk. They are suitable for fighting fires involving solid combustibles such as wood, paper and textiles.

Class A & B fires

Foam Extinguishers can be used to provide protection against both Class A and Class B fires. They are suitable for locations that are at risk of material fires, as well as flammable liquid fires.

Class A, B & C fires

Dry powder fire extinguishers are ideal for multi-risk environments because they can be used to tackle Class A, B and C fires. However they are not recommended for use in enclosed spaces.

Class B fires

CO2 fire extinguishers have a Class B fire rating. As CO2 is not a conductor and they do not leave behind any harmful residue, they are ideal for fighting electrical fires.

Class F fires

Wet chemical extinguishers are designed for use on Class F fires, involving cooking oils and fats. This makes them ideal for use in kitchens, restaurants and cafes.
