A CO2 fire extinguisher uses pressurised carbon dioxide gas to suppress fires by displacing oxygen and rapidly cooling the burning material. Unlike dry powder or foam alternatives, CO2 leaves absolutely no residue after discharge, making it the safest and most practical choice for environments where secondary damage from suppressant agents is unacceptable.

The ABE dry chemical powder fire extinguisher is the most commonly used portable extinguisher in Australian commercial and industrial environments. ABE stands for the fire classes it covers: Class A (solid combustibles like paper, wood, and fabric), Class B (flammable liquids like petrol and oil), and Class E (electrically energised equipment). This multi-class capability makes […]
If you operate a commercial kitchen, café, restaurant, food hall, or any professional cooking environment, a wet chemical fire extinguisher is not optional – it is a mandatory requirement under both Australian Standards and NSW fire safety regulations. The wet chemical (AF type) extinguisher is the only extinguisher type specifically designed and rated for Class […]
A water fire extinguisher uses a combination of water and compressed air to extinguish fires involving solid organic combustibles – the type of materials that make up the majority of fire risk in offices, schools, libraries, churches, and retail environments. These are known as Class A fires, and the water extinguisher remains the most economical […]
A foam fire extinguisher delivers a solution of water and foaming agent that spreads over the surface of a burning material or liquid, depriving the fire of oxygen and cooling the fuel below its ignition temperature. Foam extinguishers are effective on both Class A fires (ordinary solid combustibles) and Class B fires (flammable liquids such […]
An evacuation diagram – sometimes called a fire exit floor plan or emergency exit plan – is a graphic display mounted throughout a building that shows occupants the layout of the floor or area, the location of all emergency exits, fire-fighting equipment, assembly points, and the fastest and safest routes to reach them. In a […]
