Fire Extinguisher Installation Cheshire

Fire extinguishers play a pivotal and essential role in safeguarding your commercial building and people in the event of a fire breaking out. A typical fire protection plan, in-line with a Fire Risk Assessment, would ensure fire extinguishers (lifesaving critical fire safety equipment) are in place, under the duties and responsibilities of a Responsible Person, along with helping to give peace of mind to all involved, as well helping to prevent catastrophic damage to property and even loss of life. Fire extinguishers are first-aid firefighting pieces of equipment, essential for putting out small and undeveloped fires.

Fire extinguisher commissioning consists of the initial service of checking and labelling your fire extinguishers. The commissioning of fire extinguishers is fundamentally going through the setup process to ensure that each and every extinguisher that is installed is indeed fit for purpose in the event of a fire. Even after commissioning, fire extinguisher servicing will be required at a minimum of once every 12 months.

Here at Francis Fire, we are able to provide fire extinguisher installation and commissioning for all types of businesses and establishments throughout Cheshire and nearby areas. Whether you have just moved into a new property and you’re looking to get the relevant fire extinguishers in place or you require replacements because your current extinguishers have expired, we are here to help.

Francis Fire will firstly take the time to understand the type of business you are operating and your requirements before advising the best type of extinguishers for your business. We do install and commission a range of different fire extinguishers including water fire extinguishers, foam extinguishers, multi-class extinguishers, wet chemical extinguishers, and CO2 fire extinguishers.

There are, of course, clear British Standards guidelines that Francis Fire abide by that are directly in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and that required within your Fire Risk Assessment. Typically fire extinguishers are located within close-proximity to fire escapes/exits/routes, or a defined fire risk(s), and are installed via wall mounting, using specific and suitable brackets, and or extinguisher floor stands. Another important guideline is to ensure that all newly installed extinguishers have clear ID signs installed above showing the type of fire they are appropriate for indicated through written text and pictograms.
