Fire Extinguishers

our range of extinguishers

Fire and Safety Solutions are able to offer a full range of fire extinguishers, suitable for both domestic and commercial use. In addition to this, our extinguishers also come in a range of finishes, from traditional to premium (which has a higher quality finish and is a slightly higher specification, through to chrome finished extinguishers. Below is a selection of our range, for full details please contact us.

Water Extinguisher

Signal Red

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

Best For

Fires involving organic solid materials such as wood, cloth, paper, plastics, Coal etc.

Danger

Do not use on burning fat or oil or on electrical appliances

How to Use

Point the jet at the base of the flames and keep it moving across the area of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out.

How it Works

Water has a great effect on cooling the fuel surfaces and thereby reducing the pyrolysis rate of the fuel

Water Spray Extinguisher (Water with additive)

Signal Red

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

Best For

Fires involving organic solid materials such as wood, cloth, paper, plastics, Coal etc. These offer significantly improved fire fighting capability than traditional jet type water fire extinguishers. Available in 3 and 6 litres.

Danger

Do not use on burning fat or oil or on electrical appliances

How to Use

Point the jet at the base of the flames and keep it moving across the area of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out.

How it Works

Water has a great effect on cooling the fuel surfaces and thereby reducing the pyrolysis rate of the fuel. Instead of a jet nozzel a spray nozzel is used, with a higher pressure, which creates a fine spray. This allows for a given quantity of water to have a considerable increase in the surface area presented to the fire. This makes extinguishing more efficient by more rapid extraction of heat, formation of steam etc. They can also contain surfactants which help the water penetrate deep into the burning material which increase the effectiveness of the extinguisher.

Water Mist Extinguisher (‘Dry’ Water Mist)

Signal Red on a White Background

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​

​

Best For

The first broad spectrum extinguisher to tackle A, B, C rated risks as well as fats, deep fat fryers (Class F). Models with dielectric test to 35k Volt can be safely used on electrical fires (up to 1000 Volt) if a safety distance of 1m is adhered to, as their mist (de-ionised water) does not conduct electricity and the extinguisher does not normally form puddles, which could conduct electricity.

Danger

N/A

How to Use

Point the jet at the base of the flames and keep it moving across the area of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out.The fire draws the microscopic water particles into the fire

How it Works

Water is turned into microscopic particles in the supersonic nozzle. The water mist is drawn to the fire where it cools and suffocates the fire. The mist also forms a safety barrier between user and fire, which keeps some of the heat back.

Powder Extinguisher (Multi-Purpose)

Blue

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Best For

Can be used on fires involving organic solids, liquids such as grease, fats, oil, paint, petrol, etc but not on chip or fat pan fires. Can also be used on gas fires.

Danger

Safe on live electrical equipment, although does not penetrate the spaces in equipment easily and the fire may re-ignite. This type of extinguisher does not cool the fire very well and care should be taken that the fire does not flare up again.

Smouldering material in deep seated fires such as upholstery or bedding can cause the fire to start up again. Do not use on domestic chip or fat pan fires.There is danger of inhalation if powder extinguishers are used within buildings.

How to Use

Point the jet or discharge horn at the base of the flames and, with a rapid sweeping motion, drive the fire towards the far edge until all the flames are out. If the extinguisher has a hand control, wait until the air clears and if you can still see the flames, attack the fire again.

How it Works

Similarly to almost all extinguishing agents the powders acts as a thermal ballast making the flames too cool for the chemical reactions to continue. Some powders also provide a minor chemical inhibition, although this effect is relatively weak. These powders thus provide rapid knockdown of flame fronts, but may not keep the fire suppressed.

Dry Powder Extinguisher (Special Powders)

Blue

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Best For

These specialist powder extinguishers are designed to tackle fires involving combustible metals such as lithium, magnesium, sodium or aluminium when in the form of swarf or powder.

There are three special powders based on graphite, copper and sodium chloride.

Danger

Do not allow water to come in contact with the burning metal and the powder must be gently applied. Sodium Chloride is not recommended for Lithium.

How to Use

The lance enables the user to tackle fire at a safe distance and the low velocity applicator to reduce the energy of the jet allowing the powder to gently smother the surface of the burning material thus avoiding scattering of high temperature particles and stimulating the formation of a crust. The method of application is completely different from a standard extinguisher and user training is required. They are not suitable for use on live electrical fires.

How it Works

This extinguisher works by forming a crust which insulates the metal to prevent access to other combustible material nearby and smothering the fire to prevent oxygen from the atmosphere reacting with the metal

Foam Extinguisher (AFFF)

Cream

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Best For

Fires involving solids and burning liquids, such as paint and petrol but not suitable for chip or fat pan fires. Safe on fires caused by electricity if tested to 35kV (dielectric test) and a 1m safety distance is adhered to.

Danger

Do not use on chip or fat pan fires.

How to Use

For fires involving solids, point the jet at the base of the flames and keep it moving across the area of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out. For fires involving liquids, do not aim the jet straight into the liquid. Where the liquid on fire is in a container, point the jet at the inside edge of the container or on a nearby surface above the burning liquid. Allow the foam to build up and flow across the liquid.

How it Works

They are mainly water based, with a foaming agent so that the foam can float on top of the burning liquid and break the interaction between the flames and the fuel surface.

Carbon Dioxide Extinguisher

Black

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Best For

Live electrical equipment, although it allows re-ignition of hot plastics. Now mainly used on large computer servers, although care has to be taken not to asphyxiate people when using the extinguisher in small server rooms.

Danger

Do not use on chip or fat pan fires, as it carries burning fat out of container. This type of extinguisher does not cool the fire very well and you need to ensure that the fire does not start up again. Fumes from CO2 extinguishers can asphyxiate if used in confined spaces: ventilate the area as soon as the fire has been controlled.Only use CO2 extinguishers with frost-free horns, as the hand holding the horn can otherwise be frozen to the horn, as the gas is getting very cold during the discharge.

How to Use

The discharge horn should be directed at the base of the flames and the jet kept moving across the area of the fire.

How it Works

Carbon dioxide extinguisher works by suffocating the fire. Carbon dioxide displaces oxygen in the air. However, once discharged, the CO2 will dissipate quickly and allow access for oxygen again, which can re-ignite the fire.

Wet Chemical

Canary Yellow

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

Best For

Wet chemical fire extinguishers are ideal for Class F fires, involving cooking oils and fats, such as lard, olive oil, sunflower oil, maize oil and butter.

Danger

Check manufacturer’s instructions for suitability of use. These extinguishers are usually not recommended for class B fires such as petrol, although Gloria has produced a 3l wet chemical extinguisher with B rating.

How to Use

Apply the wet chemical using the extended applicator in slow circular movements, which give a gentle, yet highly effective application. Apply the fine spray onto the burning fat until the surface of the burning cooking oil changes into a soapy like substance which prevents re-ignition. The gentle application helps to prevent burning oil splashing out of the container. Make sure that you empty the entire content of the wet chemical extinguisher onto the oil/fat, as the fire can re-ignite otherwise.

How it Works

Most class F extinguishers contain a solution of potassium acetate, sometimes with some potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate. The extinguishers spray the agent out as a fine mist. The mist acts to cool the flame front, while the potassium salts saponify the surface of the burning cooking oil, producing a layer of foam over the surface. This solution thus provides a similar blanketing effect to a foam extinguisher, but with a greater cooling effect. The saponification only works on animal fats and vegetable oils, so most class F extinguishers cannot be used for class B fires. The misting also helps to prevent splashing the blazing oil.

Tests have established that a 6 litre wet chemical fire extinguisher with a 75F rating can deal with a fat fire of maximum 0.11 m2 surface area.

Fire Blanket

​

​

​

​

​

​

Fire Blanket Fire blankets are made of fire resistant materials. They are particularly useful for smothering flammable liquid fires or for wrapping round a person whose clothing is on fire. Fire blankets conforming to British Standard BS EN 1869 : 1997 are suitable for use in the home BS 7944 : 1999 is suitable for industrial use. These will be marked to show whether they should be thrown away after use or used again after cleaning in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

Best For

Fires involving both solids and liquids. Particularly good for small clothing fires and for chip and fat pan fires providing the blanket completely covers the fire.

Danger

If the blanket does not completely cover the fire, it will not be able to extinguish the fire.

How to Use

Place carefully over the fire. Keep your hands shielded from the fire. Do not waft the fire towards you.

How it Works

Smothers the fire and prevents oxygen getting to the fire.

Hose Reel

​

​

​

​

​

​

Best For

Fires involving organic solid materials such as wood, cloth, paper, plastics, coal etc.

Danger

Do not use on burning fat or oil or on electrical appliances before the electric supply has been isolated.

How to Use

Point the jet at the base of the flames and keep it moving across the area of the fire. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out.

How it Works

Water has a great effect on cooling the fuel surfaces and thereby reducing the pyrolysis rate of the fuel.

Fire Buckets

​

​

​

​

​

​

A simple bucket of water can be used on Class A type of fires either to supplement a water extinguisher or as a first attack if an extinguisher is not immediately available. It also can be filled with dry sand and used as an absorbing agent or to dam a flow of flammable liquid. They do have serious disadvantages as they are often misused, left empty or allowed to be used as a refuse container.

Best For

Wood, Cloth, Paper, Plastics, Coal

Danger

Do not use on burning fat or oil or on electrical appliances before the electric supply has been isolated.

How to Use

Throw at the base of the flames. Ensure that all areas of the fire are out.

How it Works

Water has a great effect on cooling the fuel surfaces and thereby reducing the pyrolysis rate of the fuel

keeping employees safe from the danger of fire

What is fire health and safety training?

Fire health and safety training is a legal requirement enforced by the UK Fire Legislation which stipulates that all employers need to ensure that their employees have adequate fire safety knowledge and training for their working environment.

Our two main courses we offer are:

• Essential Fire Safety Training 

• Fire Warden Training Course 

Apart from the legal duty, it is also good practice to make sure that your employees are safe and know what to do in the event of a fire as this can prevent a small incident escalating or even save lives.

At Fire and Safety Solutions we are able to offer a range of fire health and safety training solutions, for companies large or small, from first time fire safety training though to refresher courses or bespoke training for your specific environment. As well as the theory, we also provide ‘hands on’ training with items such as fire extinguishers, showing the attendee’s the correct type and method for extinguishing fires.

Key Points:

• Range of courses from basic fire safety awareness through to Fire Warden training

• Hands on demonstration of equipment and their use, such as fire extinguishers

• All courses meet the legal requirement for appropriate employee training

• Keep employee’s safe from the risks posed by fire

At Fire and Safety Solutions all of our courses are bespoke to your needs. We have a core syllabus for each course and adapt this to meet your specific requirements, business type and environment.In addition to our two core courses below, if you require a fully bespoke course to meet very specific needs please contact us to discuss your course, we would be happy to help.

​

Fire Warden Training Course

This course covers all of the points of the essential fire safety course, however in addition we establish and focus on the duties of an appointed fire warden, what they are responsible for and what expectations are placed on this person. We will also establish a chain of command and run through theoretical situations of emergencies that could occur in your building type, asses how the fire warden responds and advise where more effective fire control and evacuation methods could be used.

Fire wardens are not only a practical aspect of fire safety, it is also written in law (The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) that you must have enough, trained and appointed fire wardens to perform evacuation procedures in an emergency situation. The number of fire wardens will vary depending on how many people you have in the building and the size of the building, a fire risk assessment would need to be carried out by Fire and Safety Solutions to determine the correct number of fire wardens.

Conventional Alarms

Addressable Alarms

Wireless Alarms

EMS FireCell Wireless Alarms

EMS IRIS+ Personal Security Alarms

The most commonly installed fire alarms in businesses are either non addressable or addressable. A non addressable system is also commonly referred to as a conventional system.

Non addressable alarm system (Conventional)

Suitable generally for smaller businesses or properties. Devices are connected directly into a control panel via their own fire proof cable. If a cable is broken for any reason, then the device will stop working. For larger premises or on say 2 or more floors, devices can also be connected in Zones. E.g. Zone 1 ground floor, Zone 2 first floor. If a device activates due to smoke or fire then at least it would be possible to identify roughly where on your premises there is a fire.

Addressable alarm system

All devices such as smoke detectors or call points are linked back to a control panel via fire proof cable loop. If a device fails to work for any reason, the remainder will keep on working.

Every device connected to an addressable system has a unique address. When a fire is detected, the address is highlighted on the main control panel indicating which device has been activated. This indicates the precise location of a fire and enables a relevant fast safe response. This system could save a lot of valuable time finding a fire when compared to a non addressable system. This in turn can dramatically reduce possible fire damage, save your business or even lives!

An addressable system is more sophisticated and will reduce the number of false alarms, which are now charged for by the fire brigade.

What are Conventional Fire Alarms?

If you are looking for a simpler, reliable fire alarm system and you have a small building, then a conventional (non-addressable) fire alarm could be the solution. A conventional fire alarm allows you to have multiple detectors and sounders, each of which can be divided up in to zones. Unlike addressable fire alarms, each detector can not be identified individually so it does make a fire harder to locate, which is why this system is only suitable for smaller buildings.

Our conventional control panels allow you to test and monitor the function of the entire system. It will alert you to any potential problems with the sounders or detectors so you can arrange repairs or servicing as necessary, maintaining your complete protection. We offer conventional systems ranging from a 2 zone up to 16 zone.

At FASS we’re not beholden to any one manufacturer. As an independent Fire Safety specialist, we can supply, install and service all types of alarms across Cambridgeshire and the UK.

Addressable Fire Alarm Servicing

Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd offer a range of conventional fire alarm servicing and maintenance options to suit all types of business and premises. Most clients benefit from our service and maintenance contract which offers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week call out as well as regular, manufacturer defined servicing at the required intervals.

What are Addressable Fire Alarms?

Addressable fire alarm systems are a step beyond the conventional fire alarm system. Using the addressable control panel, you can test and monitor the function of the entire system location by location. It will alert you to any potential problems with the sounders or detectors so you can arrange repairs or servicing as necessary, maintaining your complete protection.

Each addressable device (e.g. smoke detector) is identified individually by an address (ID) within the system. The control panel communicates with each device one by one and each device reports back a detection level of smoke or heat. If smoke or heat are detected, the control panel then sounds the alarm on the detector.

As each device is uniquely numbered it gives you the ability to pinpoint the location of the fire precisely giving you valuable time in evacuating the building as well as assisting your local fire service tackling the fire.

At FASS we’re not beholden to any one manufacturer. As an independent Fire Safety specialist, we can supply, install and service all types of alarms across Cambridgeshire and the UK.

FireCell works by using a Hub and Cluster system which means it can be either a 100% wireless or a mixture of wirless and wired loops depending on the requirements. Using fire resistant cable, the Wireless Hub connects to the loop input/output of the CIE and each Hub can support up to four wireless loops.

Using this set-up, a system can be configured with both wired and wireless loops and a four loop CIE could, for example, have a single wireless loop with three hard wired loops.

A FireCell system can be single loop, two loop or four loop supporting up to 126 devices on each loop and 504 devices per panel (four loops). These can be wired or wireless devices depending on the requirements. Each loop must be dedicated as wired or wireless although Radio Loop Modules (RLMs) and can be added to the wired loop for localised wireless devices.

Larger systems, with up to eight panels, can be wirelessly networked using the EMS Radio Network Communicator (RNC) and support up to 4,032 devices.

The FireCell Radio Loop Module supports any combination of wireless devices up to a total of 31 loop addresses. The RLM itself will take up one additional loop address.

Each FireCell RLM is wired on to and powered directly from the loop. All wireless devices, including sounders, have their own power supplies (batteries) and do not need to be included in the loop loading calculations. Each hard wired loop can support a maximum of five RLMs.

Specifications vary depending on the type of system required. In order to obtain the correct specification for the system most relevant to your needs, please call our sales team to discuss your requirements.

About EMS and the IRIS+ wireless alarm system

The EMS IRIS+ wireless alarm system is the most widely used wireless hi-integrity system for protection of staff and protection for personal attack situations. The IRIS+ system is industry leading and as such it is used by nearly all financial institutions throughout the UK.

Fire and Safety Solutions Ltd are able to supply and fit the wireless alarm system which is an extremely reliable and flexible, with multiple configuration options available making it suitable for nearly all applications. As it is wireless, the need for cable is eliminated and any additions or alterations can be made quickly and cost effectively.

The combination of replaceable low-cost energy packs in each unit, combined with system wide power management software also reduce the overall operating costs. The Transmitters do not require charging every day and each handset requires two AA alkaline batteries which should provide approximately 5 years of operating life based on typical usage.

IRIS+ uses a secure signalling system that eliminates false alarms from other radio interference and fault condition is reported immediately due to the transmitter call-in failure detection which is a standard feature of IRIS+.
The 7256 IRIS+ enables optional site wide paging using the EMS paging facility which allows managers and security staff to receive information at any location on the site.

FASS Recommended Wireless Alarms

Key Features:

• Extremely Flexible – Can be adapted to suit virtually any building where a personal attack risk is a threat. Workers on site alone can be vulnerable and wireless handsets ensure they are always able to call for assistance or raise the alarm should it be required

• Cost Effective – IRIS+ can be easily modified as the building or risk change. This can be carried out quickly and without interruption to your business

2 Year Guarantee

We are 100% confident in our products and services which is why our fire alarms come with a 2 year guarantee as standard for your complete peace of mind.

​

The IRIS+ system consists of two key components, the 7256 IRIS Controller and the 7500 Alarm Device. In addition to this, you can also include the 7972 Pendant. Details of each component are as follows:

IRIS Controller

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

The IRIS wireless radio personal attack alarm system is designed for use in all types of financial, industrial or commercial buildings where staff need the security of an instant response personal attack alarm. The transmitters can also be placed in fixed positions and as it is wireless any changes can be made quickly and cost effectively. False alarms which were often caused by damage to traditional wiring circuits are totally removed.

The system can monitor up to 256 transmitters, each uniquely identified by the receiver. Every event is time and date stamped and stored in incident log which can be reviewed using the LCD screen. After resetting, the events are then archived to the historical log, which can also be read from the display or with an optional plug-in printer.

The IRIS personal attack receiver range includes a range of software features which enable you to manage activation’s if required e.g. alarm verification for high risk personnel (cashiers, early morning entry etc) and or low risk personal, such as financial services – this allows you to distinguish the groups as to if the police should attend or if local assistance is required. This can assist in reducing unwanted police call-outs.

The IRIS system fully complies with police requirements for confirmed alarms (BS8243:2010) and is designed to comply with EN50131 conforming for radio signalling.

Alarm Device

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

The main function of the transmitter is to provide portable protection, with a local assistance button and a dual action full alarm/panic facility.

Typical Applications:

• Personnel protection/support – e.g. financial institutions, cash based operations etc.

• Maintenance workers in hazardous areas.

• Loan worker situations, where a base receiver can be connected to a remote signalling system, providing backup support.

• Security guards, prison officers or nursing staff where duties are considered ‘high risk’

• Unsupervised employees, lab staff, forklift truck drivers, warehousemen etc.

The 7500 also offers an additional safety feature – a man-down facility including an audible warning option. Following user activation, tactile verification is also available as an option. Visual indication is provided for both full activation and battery low monitoring.

The system is designed to comply with EN50131 conforming for radio signalling and fully complies with police requirements for confirmed alarms (BS8243:2010).

Pendant

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

The IRIS wireless pendant can be worn in different ways depending upon your own company requirements and is supplied with a “quick-release” lanyard as standard. This can be changed to one of your own branded lanyards should you require.

Each pendant has a battery life of 12 months based on typical usage and up to 256 pendants can be used with a single system. Using secure UHF frequencies, which typically allow in excess of 150 meter coverage from the IRIS panel, users are able to continue carrying out their work safe in the knowledge that help is on hand, should it be needed.

Using dual activation (large red buttons on each side of the pendant) to request assistance and eliminate any false activation’s, this pendant is a vital addition to your Health and Safety plan.

Each pendant is lightweight (only 25.35g) which makes it virtually “invisible” until such time it is needed.

Specifications vary depending on the type of system required. In order to obtain the correct specification for the system most relevant to your needs, please call our sales team to discuss your requirements.
