Water Fire Extinguisher FAQs
- What is a water fire extinguisher used for?
- A water fire extinguisher is used for Class A fires involving solid combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard, textiles and some soft furnishings. It works by cooling the burning material and reducing the temperature below the point of ignition.
- What should water fire extinguishers not be used on?
- Water fire extinguishers should not be used on live electrical equipment, flammable liquids, cooking oil or fat fires. Using the wrong extinguisher can make a fire more dangerous, so it is important that each extinguisher is correctly positioned for the risks in that area.
- What are water mist fire extinguishers?
- Water mist fire extinguishers use microscopic water droplets to cool the fire and reduce oxygen around the flames. They can be suitable for a wider range of environments than standard water fire extinguishers, but the correct use should always be confirmed by a fire safety professional.
- Are water mist fire extinguishers suitable for commercial buildings?
- Yes, a water mist fire extinguisher can be suitable for many commercial buildings, depending on the fire risks present. Water mist fire extinguishers are often considered where businesses want a versatile extinguisher option, but they should still be specified based on a proper fire risk assessment.
- How often should water fire extinguishers be serviced?
- Water fire extinguishers should usually be serviced at least once every 12 months by a competent engineer. Servicing checks the pressure, hose, safety pin, tamper seal, label, condition and overall suitability of the extinguisher.
- How do I know if my building needs water or water mist fire extinguishers?
- The right choice depends on the materials, equipment and risks within your building. Hoyles can assess your premises and recommend whether standard water fire extinguishers, water mist fire extinguishers or another extinguisher type is most suitable.
