Don’t forget the fire extinguisher this Christmas!
A foam fire extinguisher may not seem like the perfect Christmas present but it could prove to be a lifesaver. A foam extinguisher can be used to fight fires involving wood, paper, textiles, coal or similar materials. They are more versatile than water extinguishers, and a lighter and smaller alternative for an equivalent fire risk. Christmas time sees a number of fire hazards in the home. Christmas fairy lights are twinkling and candles ablaze. However, fire safety needs to remain in the forefront of your mind. Homeowners should never leave candles unattended and electrical equipment such as Christmas tree lights should be switched off and unplugged before bed or leaving your home. Do not use a foam extinguisher when trying to put out an electrical blaze as they contain a small amount of water. Fire extinguishers can be bought in different sizes and can be easily placed in kitchens, cars and caravans. It’s better to be safe than sorry this Christmas.
