Co2 – This type of extinguisher can be used on the widest range of fires in a home. It is ideal for use on textiles, wood, flammable liquids, and electrical fires. It cannot be used on fires caused by cooking fats or oils. This is a good device for living areas and garages. The kitchen requires an alternative device such as a fire blanket.

Water – Water fire extinguishers are ideal for putting out fires on furniture and carpets but are dangerous when used on flammable liquids or cooking fats. Water fire extinguishers are best kept and used in bedrooms and living rooms.

Foam – Foam extinguishers are most effective on wood and flammable liquids, petrol, and spirits but not for electrical fires. This type of extinguisher is best kept in the garage or shed where these kinds of products can usually be found.

Fire Blanket – A fire blanket is ideally located on a wall in an easy-to-reach place in a kitchen. It can stop small pan-fires from spreading. They can also be used to smolder flames if someone has caught their clothes alight.

Dry powder extinguishers are effective on fires involving flammable solids, liquids, and gases, while CO2 extinguishers are used for fires involving electrical equipment and flammable liquids.

Fire extinguishers can be recharged, but only by a qualified technician. It is important to have your fire extinguisher recharged if it has been used or if it is expired.
