Yet the humble fire extinguisher can be put in to action and save lives.

Fire Safety consultants MacDonald Martin supply all the main types of extinguishers as well as offering the training in their proper use.

It is, of course, vital that the correct fire extinguisher is placed in an area where it will be most effective. MacDonald Martin has the expertise to help you put together a fire protection strategy that includes advice on fire extinguishers.

There are officially five classes of fire. They are called A, B, C, D and F. They range from ordinary fires, through to fires involving flammable gases and liquids. The classes also cover fires containing metal and fires involving cooking fat or oil.

Water, dry powder, wet chemical, foam and Co2 extinguishers are all provided by Macdonald Martin and as fire protection consultants MacDonald Martin can help organisations to choose the right mix of extinguishers for their type of business. It is just a part of the comprehensive range of fire safety services they offer.

So while that little red canister may sit there in the corner as workers come and go each day it is ready. Hopefully it will never be needed. If it is, MacDonald Martins fire safety knowledge means it will be the right type to fight the flames and protect staff and businesses alike.
