A portable fire extinguisher is one of the best and most cost-effective defenses against property damage from a fire. Many fires are relatively small from the onset and can be extinguished by the use of portable fire extinguishers.
Fire extinguishers can often be the first line of defence for your business. With the huge variety available, you need to be sure that the extinguishers you have will fight the type of fire that starts, and they’re in perfect working order when you need them.
When used properly, portable fire extinguishers save lives and property by extinguishing a small fire or containing one until the fire department arrives. Notification of the fire department as soon as a fire is discovered is strongly recommended. This notification should not be delayed by awaiting results of the use of a portable fire extinguisher.
