FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WE SERVICE & SUPPLY
Foam extinguishers are very versatile and can be used to provide protection against both Class A and Class B fires, so they can be installed in a variety of locations that are at risk of material fires, as well as flammable liquid fires.
The foam they release is also non- conductive, so it lowers the risk of electric shock if the fire contains electrical equipment.
Hopefire Management & Projects we provide Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers, which are an ideal solution if your property is at risk of fires involving electrical equipment, as the gas is non-conductive, as well as from Class B fires involving combustible liquids, so can be safely used on:
- Computers
- Live cables
- Engine oils
- Petrol and fuels
The CO2 works by cutting off the oxygen supply of the fire, effectively smothering it to extinguish the flames – and because it’s gas, it doesn’t leave any sticky residues or soggy puddles.
Dry powder fire extinguishers are ideal for multi-risk environments because they can be used to tackle Class A, B and C fires, so can provide complete protection for your workplace, vehicle or residential environment. They can be used on:
- Solid materials fires
- Combustible liquids
- Flammable gasses
- Electrical equipment
The dry powder is an extinguishing agent that is released by compressed gas to create a blanket over the flames and smother the source of the fire, cooling it and stopping it from spreading.
Wet chemical fire extinguishers have been specifically designed to tackle the fire hazards present in commercial and residential kitchens, referred to as Class F fires, involving cooking oils and fats. This makes them ideal for use in:
- Restaurants and cafés
- School and university halls
- Staff kitchens in workplaces
- Mobile catering facilities
The wet chemical is released as a fine spray that dampens the flames, whilst the chemical element reacts with the fuel of the fire to create a film that can seal the surface and extinguish the fire altogether.
Water fire extinguishers are extremely effective at tackling Class A fires that contain combustible materials. This makes them ideal for residential locations, schools, hotels and retail premises, as they can safely be used on:
- Soft furnishings
- Paper and cardboard
- Wood and timber
- Textiles
Water fire extinguishers work in two ways – the water extinguishes the flames and soaks the burning materials to cool them and put the fire out completely.
Automatic fire extinguishers can be the ideal protection solution in Johannesburg and Pretoria for a host of environments and are ideally suited to locations and premises where manual operation is not always possible and where immediate fire extinguisher activation is sometimes necessary.
Therefore, they are ideal for a variety of applications, such as:
- Plant rooms
- Engine bays
- Boats
- Flammable liquid stores
Suitable for Class A, Class B, and Class C fires, they are designed specifically to tackle fires involving wood, paper, textiles, fabrics, and flammable liquids and gases, meaning that these extinguishers offer comprehensive protection against a range of fire types.
Anywhere a possible fire hazard exists, the law requires you to install fire extinguishers. With all the regulations surrounding how and where fire extinguishers should be installed, it’s best to leave the job to the experienced technicians at Guardian Fire Protection.
OUR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT INSTALLATION OPTIONS BASED ON YOUR NEEDS:
- Fire extinguisher brackets mount to the wall and hold canisters up off the floor, but still within sight.
- Extinguisher cabinets house canisters behind a breakable glass door to prevent tampering until an emergency strikes.
- Portable fire extinguisher stands make it easy to relocate canisters as needed in order to meet fire codes during temporary events or concerts.
Fire extinguishers are some of the most valuable fire protection equipment you have in your building, so making sure they are well-maintained is extremely important.
Proper fire extinguisher service and maintenance includes monthly self-check-ups, annual professional inspections and servicing.
CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE & SANS ACCREDITATION
We provide a certificate of service as well as the updated tag after each service and refill.
All of the extinguishers supplied confirm to the minimum fire rating as specified in SANS 1910:2020.
