Fire Extinguishers

As a core component of first-response fire safety, we supply, install and audit all extinguisher types.

Your building’s first line of defence

Fire extinguishers are an essential first line of defence in the event of a fire. When used correctly, they can stop a fire before it spreads. This means its protecting lives, limiting damage, and reducing the need for large-scale response.

At EA-RS, we provide complete extinguisher services, from supply and installation to annual inspection and staff training.

Whether your environment requires water, foam, CO₂, powder, or wet chemical units, we help ensure you meet your legal obligations and always maintain readiness. All extinguishers are installed and serviced to BS 5306 standards.

We help you meet all regulatory fire extinguisher requirements under BS 5306, including type selection, installation, signage, and maintenance, as well as ensuring full readiness and legal compliance.

We assess the materials, hazards, and occupancy of your site to specify the correct extinguishers for every zone, whether that’s offices, kitchens, warehouses, or data suites.

Our team conducts annual servicing, safety checks, pressure tests, and tamper seal replacement to keep extinguishers in full working order with appropriate certification. We also offer staff training on extinguisher types and correct use.

Additional Information

Why do I need fire extinguishers?

Fire extinguishers are a critical component of workplace safety and regulatory compliance. They provide an immediate, accessible means to control small fires before they escalate, helping protect employees, customers, assets, and operations. Beyond safeguarding lives and property, having properly placed and maintained extinguishers demonstrates due diligence, supports insurance requirements, and reduces potential downtime and liability in the event of an emergency.

How do I know what extinguisher to put where?

Selecting the right fire extinguisher depends on the specific risks present in each area of your business. Different extinguishers are designed to handle different types of fires -such as electrical equipment, flammable liquids, or ordinary combustibles – so placement should align with the hazards most likely to occur in that space. EA-RS provides clear guidance, and a professional fire risk assessment can ensure compliance, proper coverage, and maximum protection across your facilities.

How many types of fire extinguisher are there?

There are five main types of fire extinguishers, each designed for specific classes of fire: water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and wet chemical. Each type targets different risks, from everyday materials like wood and paper to flammable liquids, electrical equipment, and cooking oils. Understanding these categories is essential to ensuring your business is equipped with the right protection for the hazards present in your environment.
