| Fire Extinguishers
 Morgan Fire and Security
Systems (MFS Systems) supply, fit and maintain Fire Extinguishers to the
relevant British Standard.
The extinguisher should be properly
serviced once a year. There are a number of independent schemes
designed specifically for fire extinguishers and their
maintenance. There is also a Government sponsored national
organisation for the promotion of quality in fire equipment and
related services - British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE).

.
Extinguishers should be fitted where
you can reach it quickly and easily and where its suitability
for a particular fire can be checked quickly. The best place is
on an escape route, that is, near an outside door, or on the
route from the living areas to an outside door, or close to any
perceived fire risk. It should be properly fixed to the wall at
a height where it can be reached. Keep it out of the reach of
children.
Fire extinguishers should be located where they can be easily
seen. Locating them inside cupboards or behind doors will only
waste valuable time if a fire breaks out. Do not place them over
cookers or heaters or in places of extreme heat. |
