ABC Powder Fire Extinguishers

ABC refers to the types of fires the extinguisher can tackle:

• A: Ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, textiles)

• B: Flammable liquids (petrol, paint, solvents)

• C: Flammable gases (propane, butane, methane)

We recommend the FireSmart ABC Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher, a reliable and versatile option suitable for a wide range of environments, including workshops, warehouses, vehicles and construction sites.

It’s available in multiple sizes, CE-marked, and compliant with BS EN3 standards, making it ideal for tackling Class A, B and C fires.

They are suitable for industrial, commercial, and vehicle settings, anywhere with a mix of fire risks. However, they are not recommended for enclosed indoor spaces due to reduced visibility and inhalation risk.

Yes. ABC powder is non-conductive and can be safely used on live electrical equipment up to 1000V at a minimum distance of 1 metre.

We offer a range of sizes, typically from 1kg (ideal for vehicles) to 9kg (suitable for large industrial or warehouse environments).

It’s strongly recommended that staff are trained in the PASS technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) and understand which extinguisher to use for different fire types.
