Fire Extinguishers are very important to have in your home or business. In your home there should be at least two fire extinguishers, one in the kitchen and one by the furnace room. Here at Fire & Security Centre, we not only sell fire extinguishers we service them as well.

We have various types of extinguishers for different uses and they come in many different sizes. Fire extinguishers are to be inspected yearly, every six years they will need to be maintenance, and a Hydro test is required every twelve years

H2O?

The H2O Extinguisher utilizes the cooling, soaking and penetrating effect of a 45-55 ft. stream of WATER. The 50 sec. discharge time makes it very effective for inexperienced operators for use on Class A fires. Protect from freezing by adding the Model 506 Loaded Stream/ Antifreeze charge. In areas with a high level chloride content water, it may be corrosion protected by using the Model 507 charge.

Wet Chemical?

The Wet Chemical extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Both have been tested and approved for the new Class K listing by UL specifically for restaurant kitchen hazards. They contain a special potassium acetate based, low PH agent developed for use in pre-engineered restaurant kitchen systems. The recent trend to more efficient cooking appliances and use of unsaturated cooking oils dictates the use of a hand portable fire extinguisher with greater fire fighting capacity and cooling effect to combat these very hot and difficult fires. The superior fire fighting capability of the Wet Chemical agent is placed exactly where you aim it with no chemical residue to clean up.

Dry Chemical?

Regular Dry extinguishers contain a siliconized sodium bicarbonate based dry chemical with free flowing and non-caking additives. Economical Class B & C protection with lower initial cost and recharging. This chemical smothers fires in flammable liquids and pressurized gases and is electrically nonconductive. Another dry extinguisher is a High Performance extinguisher which are the ultimate choice in fire extinguishers for high hazard, frequent use and extreme environment applications. Economical – lower initial cost, lower maintenance costs and greater reliability than cartridge operated extinguishers.

Carbon Dioxide?

Carbon Dioxide extinguishers discharge a white cloud of “snow” which smothers a fire by eliminating its oxygen. It is effective for Class B flammable liquid fires and is electrically non-conductive. Carbon Dioxide is a clean, non-contaminating, odorless gas, safe for use on clothing, equipment, valuable documents or food.
