CO2 Fire Extinguishers
If your commercial premises stores flammable liquids, such as oil, petrol, paraffin, alcohol and some paints, then a CO2 extinguisher is what you need to keep close at hand in the event of a fire. Fires involving flammable liquids are known as Class B fires.
Carbon dioxide also does not conduct electricity, while the residue it leaves behind after use won’t damage equipment or machinery. That means that this is also a suitable fire extinguisher for an electrical fire and a great choice for anywhere with a lot of electrical equipment, including offices, schools, hospitals and retail environments.
CO2 fire extinguishers work by displacing the oxygen that a fire needs to keep burning. However, this does mean that you should not use one in an enclosed environment due to the risk of asphyxiation.
As well as being a leading CO2 fire extinguisher supplier across the north of England, including Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield, Scutum North can also install and maintain your extinguishers.
