Answers To February Newsletter Questions

  • If the fire is in the room behind the door, a backdraught may result when the door is opened.  If possible the warden should always check that the door handle is not warm with the back of their hand before opening it..
  • Photo electric is the smoke alarm supported by the Fire Service.  The ionization smoke alarms identified by the radiation symbol on the back of the smoke alarm is no longer supported by this company or the Fire Service.
  • The fire extinguisher most frequently found in work places and homes has between 10 and 20 seconds of operation once the safety pin has been pulled out, and the leavers squeezed until the extinguisher is empty.  Remember the extinguisher operator can start and stop the flow of the extinguishing agent by squeezing and releasing the handles at the top of the extinguisher.
  • Most extinguishers have a small gauge at the top by the handles.  Only Carbon Dixoide extinguishers do not have gauges. 
  • Yes.  Fire blankets are fire extinguishers and very good ones for domestic use.  Commerical kitchens are required to have one where fat is used for cooking.  When using a fire blanket make sure it covers the fire to stop air getting to the flames.  Do this and the fire goes out almost immediately.
We often have fire blanket extinguishers on sale.  Give the office a ring and see how inexpensive they really are.
