Zenova FX Fire Extinguishers – All-in-One Fire Protection

Choosing the Right Fire Extinguisher

Choosing the correct fire extinguisher is essential in an emergency. Different types of fire usually require different extinguishing agents, and using the wrong extinguisher can make some fires more dangerous.

The Zenova FX fire extinguisher range is designed as an all-in-one extinguisher, helping reduce confusion when a fire starts and a quick decision is needed.

One Extinguisher for Multiple Fire Types

The Zenova FX range can be used on a wide range of fire types, including ordinary combustible fires and certain electrical fires. This can make it easier for users at home or work because they do not have to spend valuable time deciding which extinguisher to use.

Electrical Fire Use

The FX500 aerosol extinguisher is dielectrically tested and can be used on electrical fires up to 1,000 volts. This means it may be suitable for many domestic and workplace electrical fire risks, provided it is used safely and within its tested limits.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers are often used for electrical fires because they are a dry extinguishing agent. However, if a CO2 extinguisher is not available, the FX500 may provide a practical alternative for suitable electrical fire situations.

Emergency Action During a Fire

The most important action in any fire is to raise the alarm and call the emergency services. In the UK, call 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service. Depending on the incident, you may also need an ambulance or the police.

Only attempt to use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small, you have been trained or feel confident to use it, and you have a clear escape route behind you.

Key Safety Message

Do not put yourself at risk. If the fire is spreading, producing heavy smoke, blocking your exit or involving unknown hazards, leave immediately, call the emergency services and stay out.
