Fire Extinguisher Signs

Fire Equipment Signs: Buying Guide

There are a variety of fire extinguishers available that serve an array of different purposes. One example is a fire extinguisher designed to stifle electrical fires; it contains dry powder so as not to exacerbate the fire further. Dry powder extinguishers can also be used on gaseous fires and flammable liquids.

For fires involving textiles, fuels and cooking oils, then a wet chemical fire extinguisher should be used.

Whichever fire extinguishers you have around your premises, it is important that anyone discovering a fire is fully aware of the type of extinguisher needed and its location within the building. This can be denoted by effective signage and informational posters.

Fire blanket signs are also available. A fire blanket is specifically for smothering fires and is suitable for kitchen fires or clothing. The fire blanket sign available from our product range includes information for the use of a fire blanket in addition to instructions for use.

During a fire, it is highly likely that smoke will obscure the details on a sign and maybe even the piece of fire fighting equipment. Another unfortunate outcome of fire is a power cut. Being prepared for these occurrences ahead of time will reduce the potential for destruction or damage in the event of a fire. This can be achieved by using the correct sign.

Photoluminescent signs are suitable for just such a situation. These are bright signs that are white in full light and glow brightly in low or no light.

Our Nite-Glo photoluminescent signs are manufactured using an environmentally friendly polyester film and are fully compliant with British Standard guidelines. They stay lit for over 6 hours once activated by a suitable light source.
