Fire Extinguisher Guide

This document discusses different types of fire extinguishers including portable, mobile, and automatic extinguishers. Portable extinguishers are lightweight and easy to use for small fires, while mobile extinguishers mounted on trolleys have higher capacities. Automatic extinguishers are ideal for unmanned areas. Common extinguishing agents discussed are dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, aqueous film forming foam, water, wet chemical, water mist, and HFC 227 ea. The document also outlines the typical components of a fire extinguisher including the cylinder, valve assembly, pressure gauge, rubber hose, and dip tube.

Extinguisher
 Portable  Mobile  Automatic

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extin-


guish or control small fires, often in emergency situations

Portable Fire Extinguishers are used for putting out or containing small fire until the fire depart- EXTINGUISHERS
ment arrives. Bristol Portable Fire Extinguisher comply to BS EN – 3, they are light weight and easy
to use, suitable for industrial, commercial and home use.
DRY CHEMICAL POWDER
Mobile Fire Extinguishers are mounted on trolleys for transportation. They have higher capacity Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishers are the most
than that of Portable Fire Extinguishers and are therefore more advisable to be used for relatively
widely used type of fire extinguisher. They discharge a
larger fires. BristolMobile Fire Extinguishers comply to BS EN 1866-1:2007.
fine powder that absorbs fuel molecules, depriving the
fire of a fuel source.
Automatic Dry Powder Extinguishers are ideal for use in unmanned or confined locations.

AQUEOUS FILM FORMING FOAM


COMPONENTS
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) Extinguishers can be
used on class A and B fires and for vapor suppression. This
is because the foam blankets the fuel preventing oxygen
from reaching it.

TELESCOPIC APPLICATOR

The telescopic applicators are the suitable mediums to extend the


point of application to a difficult reach. It features an extendable
telescopic tube by loosening the t-screw then simply extending by
hand.

This increases the effectiveness of the fire extinguisher especially in


case of the gaseous extinguishing agent because gas can diffuse
very quickly compared to other fire extinguishing agent.
