The Importance Of Water Fire Extinguishers

Water Fire Extinguishers

Here at Fire Protection Services (FPS), we offer many different types of extinguishers, with our water fire extinguishers being a very popular choice. These extinguishers are extremely effective at combatting certain types of fires and in this blog post, we are going to take a closer look at the importance of these fire extinguishers.

The Effectiveness Of Water Fire Extinguishers

Water fire extinguishers should be used against Class A fires which are normally caused by the combustion of solid materials such as wood, paper, straw, textiles, coal, etc. The water within these extinguishers has a cooling effect so when it is sprayed on fires it quickly reduces the temperature, meaning that it can no longer burn. It is strongly recommended that these fire extinguishers are present in buildings such as storage units and warehouses.

How To Use Water Fire Extinguishers

Should you need to use a water fire extinguisher then please follow the below steps:

1. Remove the safety pin which will also break the anti-tamper seal
2. Point the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the fire and squeeze the handle
3. Continue to spray until the fire is completely extinguished
