Our NJ state licensed professionals can help you get the correct extinguishers for your facility. Various factors such as size of the facility, the industry and operations, and the hazards present are all taken into consideration.
The Types of Fires & Extinguishers
There are three common classes of fires:
• Type A: Fire is ignited by usual combustible materials (e.g. wood, garbage, paper, cloth, rubber, plastics)
• Type B: Fire is ignited by flammable liquids or something with an oil base (e.g. solvents, paint, gasoline, oil)
• Type C: Fire is ignited by electricity (e.g. malfunctioning electrical appliances, motors, electronic controls and wires)
Extinguisher Inspection
Jersey Fire Protection also offers routine inspections of fire extinguishers per NFPA & NAFED standards.
Keeping your on-site fire extinguishers up-to-date ensures you are compliant with applicable codes and requirements. It is imperative that your equipment is safe and ready for operation.
