Extinguisher Services
Portable fire extinguishers must be installed in all workplaces regardless of whether other fire protection measures are present. As an early response to a developing fire, the successful performance of a fire extinguisher depends on appropriate placement, proper maintenance and trained users.
There are different types of extinguishers, each designed to extinguish a specific class of fire. They are selected according to the potential fire hazard, the construction and occupancy of the building, and the asset to be protected. It is important to have the right type of extinguisher to fight the fire risk for different areas of your premise to avoid potentially damaging the asset or equipment you are trying to protect and to minimise the chances of exacerbating the fire itself.
The different classes of extinguishers are:
- Class A – Ordinary Combustible Solids
Wood, paper, cloth, plastics, rubber, coal, carbon based compounds etc. - Class B – Flammable & Combustible Liquids
Petrol, oil, paint, thinners, kerosene, alcohol, etc. - Class C – Flammable Gases
L.P.G., Butane, Acetylene, Hydrogen, natural gas and Methane etc. - Class D – Combustible Metals
Magnesium, aluminum, sodium or potassium etc. - Class E – Electrically Energised Equipment
Computers, switchboards, power-boards, etc. - Class F – Cooking Oils and Fats
Cooking oils and fats usually found in industrial kitchens etc.
BSD Fire Solutions sells, tests and services fire extinguishers for all classes of fire. In addition to maintaining an extensive inventory of new extinguishers, our highly trained technicians inspect, certify, and repair them.
