There are 5 main fire extinguisher types – Water, Foam, Dry Powder, CO2 and Wet Chemical.
To ensure you’re adequately protected, and you meet current fire safety regulations, you need to have the right types of fire extinguisher for your business premises.
There are different ‘classes’ of fire, for which each extinguisher is designed to tackle. These classes are based on which fuels a fire starts with. It’s the presence of these fuels within your business premises that will help determine which types of fire extinguisher you need and in which locations.
As well as the right type of fire extinguisher, you’ll also need the right size and weight of each extinguisher.
There are six classes of fire in total.

The term Smart Building can be applied to any structure that used automation to control the various operating systems within the building, such as heating, lighting and security. By using sensors, microchips, CCTV cameras and other system components, the building can collect key pieces of data to help determine automated decisions, as well as provide insights into building performance such as carbon footprint and energy usage. All this data can then be used to improve building efficiencies and productivity.
We use the latest technology within all our smart building installations and choose tailored equipment based on your requirements. At BusinessWatch, we are flexible and can offer various wireless and cloud-based systems for both building security and fire safety, all of which will work alongside your current systems.
For example, activated motion sensors can activate CCTV cameras, which in turn can use the access control system to block off an intruder’s potential exits. In addition, access control can be used to control lighting and heating in a particular area, meaning that they only turn on when someone has entered the specified space.
Partnered with some of the best smart technology suppliers in the industry, we are proud to be able to tailor high-quality products to deliver the very best and most effective smart building solutions to our clients.
