Fire Extinguishing

Taking care of your fire extinguishers

Fire Extinguishers

Under the Fire Safety Order (FSO) you, along with every other business, have a legal responsibility to ensure that your premises are adequately stocked with fire extinguishers of the appropriate type or types. The Fire House Group has 60 years of experience in the industry and can help you to ensure that you're meeting this obligation. Based in Gateshead and operating nationwide, we have offices in Barnsley, Gateshead, Durham, Leeds, Wakefield & Nottingham.

As well as supplying you with the right extinguishers to meet your needs, we can also provide your team with live fire extinguisher training. Contact us today to learn more.

Ongoing Maintenance

One of your obligations under the FSO is to have a designated responsible person within the business to carry out a visual inspection of all extinguishers not less than once a quarter (ideally on a monthly basis), looking for extinguishers that have been damaged or discharged. If there are 5+ people within your organisation, there is a requirement to keep a written record of these inspections, along with all maintenance, servicing and inspections in a fire logbook.

We can offer a full maintenance package including recharging extinguishers in line with the manufacturer's instructions. If you'd like to discuss our service and how we can help your business, call our office today.

Proper siting of extinguishers

Sited in conspicuous positions, easily accessible to people following an evacuation route
Fitted on wall brackets or stands where brackets are impractical (not on the floor)
Handles should be 1.5m from the ground for small extinguishers, 1m for larger ones
Grouped together to form a fire point
Sited so that it is not necessary to travel more than 30m to access an extinguisher

All extinguishers installed in a building of single occupancy should have the same method of operation and, if intended for the same function, they should be similar in shape, appearance and colour

In 2019 we were looking for new local company to service and maintain our fire alarm systems. We previously used a national company. Having spoken the Chris at Fire House Group we engaged them to service and maintain our fire systems. Fire House Group and their staff as a whole have been fantastic from the top down.
They have met and exceeded our expectations at every turn. They are small enough to care but large enough to cope with whatever we have asked of them nothing is too much trouble.
The engineers have been proactive when visiting helping us reduce the amount of faults, offering advice on newer more cost effective solutions. We wholeheartedly recommend Fire House Group.

We have had two of your staff at our office for the last two days. I met them on the first day to show round again.
They have done a great job.
I've not been in the office all the time. One of our directors has called me to say how impressed she was with Dan and the way he was training Sam.
She went on to say Dan was explaining everything he was doing and why. When they were doing anything.
She commented on how refreshing it was to see them acting so professionally.

We have been using The Fire House Group to provide a one stop shop for all our fire safety, installation, maintenance, and servicing requirements since January 2016.
During this time, I have found Chris and his team to be totally reliable, professional, well organised, and always happy to help.
I know that by continuing to use them I can trust that all our regulatory responsibilities are taken care of and our managers have a resource they can call on 24/7.
I’d be happy for you to contact me if you have any further questions regarding their service.
