P50 Fire Extinguishers.

Zoomup over 4 years ago

These new fire extinguishers are able to be used on electrical fires even though they are a foam type. Has anyone used one, and if so do they work well? They apparently do not need a fire engineer to service them annually and they have a ten year life. I have no connection with the makers or sellers.

Thanks for the link Z, so it will cost you £120 +vat if someone sets it off compared to £34.50 for a foam 6ltr.

just done a quick calc its actually slightly cheaper for a experience engineer to attend site annually including the extended service, it also means that you spread the cost of the extinguisher and it's getting checked annually for correct location, area of use and if any new risks have been introduced etc.
