Fire Fighting Equipment

Only use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small and there is no immediate danger to anyone’s life. There are different types of extinguishers for different types of fires.

It is dangerous to use extinguishers on some types of fires (see below)

Fire extinguishers used to differ according to their type, now all extinguishers are red in colour with a band and/or triangle marking up 5% of the surface area indicating their type.
