Water
The most useful and cost effective of all available fire extinguishers. Our water extinguishers have a jet type application that produces a concentrated stream enabling the operator to fight a fire from a greater distance than spray nozzle types.
Suitable for class A Fires
Co2
CO2 is suitable for electrical equipment, Class B fires and is recognised for its non-damaging highly effective performance and cleanliness. Chubb CO2s have non-conductive anti-static horns. Because the gas is harmless to delicate equipment and materials, it is ideal for modern office environments, all electrical risks and where oils, spirits, solvents and waxes are in use.
Suitable for Class B Fires
Foam Spray
Foam extinguishers are suitable for both Class A & B fires. Spray Foam has the ability to reduce the risk of re-ignition. Once the fire has been extinguished the foam effectively seals the vapours at the same time as cooling the fire.
Suitable for Class B & C Fires
Dry Powder
Dry powder is a highly versatile Class A, B & C fire-fighting medium suitable for most risks. In addition to dealing with electrical hazards, flammable liquids and gases, powder is also effective for vehicle fires.
