Using and choosing the correct fire extinguisher for the correct type of fire can be a matter of life and death, a tad dramatic you may say, however should a water fire extinguisher for instance be used where there are high voltages, an electrical sub station or even household electric circuits, there is a high risk that electrocution could occur resulting hopefully not in death but possibly severe electric shock.
Or a foam or water based fire extinguisher is used on boiling oil in a chip shop or again a domestic situation. This also could result in very serious burns with the possibility of spreading the fire onto surrounding surfaces.

If you are unsure which fire extinguisher you require to install adjacent to a specific risk please call and ask one of our team.
