In order to protect yourself and family from fire, it is important to educate and familiarise yourself and your family with fire risks and how to keep fire safe. This includes having an agreed and practiced escape plan should a fire break out in your home.
No-one expects to have a house fire however, it is all the more important to ensure you have protection if a fire were to break out. Our Firechief 1kg Powder Extinguisher is perfect to protect both your home office, lounge, dining area. We would also recommend a fire blanket, suitable for cooking fires.

If your cooker were to set alight, we would recommend you use a fire blanket. Turn off the heat (if you can do so safely) and place a fire blanket over the fire, this smothers it causing the fire to consume what oxygen is left, allowing the fire to dwindle. NEVER use water, this creates an explosion of steam which is dangerous.
It is possible that the lithium-ion battery in either your mobile phone or laptop could overheat starting a potentially disastrous fire. In order to contain the thermal runaway and resulting fire, you need to use a lithium battery extinguisher; these extinguishers are specifically designed to put out lithium battery fires.
