Fire extinguishers and reels for businesses

Complete fire protection does not stop at fire detection


A reliable fire safety strategy consists of multiple layers of protection. Fire detection ensures that a fire is quickly discovered, but in many situations, a rapid first intervention is also necessary to limit damage and ensure the safety of employees and visitors.

That is why Firesafe Solutions collaborates with specialised partners for the supply, installation, inspection, and maintenance of fire extinguishers and fire hose reels throughout Belgium.

This way, we can offer our customers a total solution for fire safety, from fire detection and aerosol extinguishing to portable extinguishing devices and reels.

Why are fire extinguishers and reels important?

An incipient fire can often be successfully fought when intervention is quick and correct.

Fire extinguishers and reels help to:

  • Fight incipient fires
  • Limit damage to buildings and installations
  • Make evacuations safer
  • Limit production loss
  • Protect human lives
  • Legal obligations to comply with
  • Insurance conditions to respect

A correctly placed and maintained extinguisher can make the difference between a small incident and a major business fire.

Which fire extinguishers are suitable for your business?

Not every fire can be fought with the same extinguishing agent. Therefore, our partners always advise the most suitable solution based on your activities and risks.

Possible extinguishing agents include:

  • Foam extinguishers
  • Powder extinguishers
  • CO₂ extinguishers
  • Fat fire extinguishers
  • Water extinguishers
  • Lithium-ion battery extinguishers

Depending on the environment, it is determined which extinguishing agents are most suitable.

Hose reels for quick intervention

Hose reels are an important part of the first intervention resources within many businesses and industrial buildings.

They offer, among other things:

  • Immediate availability of extinguishing water
  • Unlimited water supply
  • Suitable for larger areas
  • Quick deployability
  • Easy operation

Reels are often used in:

  • Office buildings
  • Industrial buildings
  • Warehouses

Tailored advice based on your risks

  • Insurance requirements

Based on this, a proposal will be developed that meets the applicable regulations and the practical needs of your organisation.

Frequently asked questions about fire extinguishers and reels

Yes. In most businesses, fire extinguishers are mandatory as part of the first intervention resources. The number, type, and location depend on the risk analysis, the activities, and the applicable fire safety regulations.

This depends on various factors such as:

  • Surface area of the building
  • Company activities
  • Fire risks
  • Layout of the building
  • Presence of hazardous substances
  • Insurance requirements

Our specialised partners can advise you on this based on a risk analysis.

Depending on the risk, different types of fire extinguishers can be used:

  • Foam extinguishers
  • Powder extinguishers
  • CO₂ extinguishers
  • Fat fire extinguishers
  • Water extinguishers
  • Lithium-ion battery extinguishers

Not every type of fire can be fought with the same extinguishing agent.

For electrical installations, CO₂ extinguishers are often used because they do not cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment.

Depending on the situation, other specialised solutions may also be applied.

Lithium-ion batteries require a specific approach. Depending on the application, special battery extinguishers or additional safety measures may be provided.

Firesafe Solutions advises companies on Battery Safety solutions for the safe storage and charging of lithium-ion batteries.

A fire hose reel is a fixed firefighting facility that is connected to the water supply network and is used to combat small fires.

Reels provide:

  • Immediate availability
  • Unlimited water supply
  • Easy operation
  • Quick deployability

This depends on the type of building, the activities, and the applicable regulations. In many commercial buildings, industrial halls, and public buildings, fire hose reels are provided as part of the fire safety equipment.

A fire extinguisher contains a limited amount of extinguishing agent and is mobile.

A fire hose reel:

  • Is permanently mounted
  • Has a continuous water supply
  • Is suitable for longer interventions
  • Is often used for larger areas

Both systems complement each other within a fire safety plan.

Fire extinguishers should be checked periodically according to the applicable regulations and standards.

In practice, an annual check is usually carried out by a qualified technician.

Fire hose reels should also be checked regularly to ensure their proper functioning.

These checks include, among other things:

  • Water flow
  • Hose condition
  • Operability
  • General operation

Firesafe Solutions collaborates with specialised partners who are responsible for:

  • Maintenance
  • Inspections
  • Refills
  • Replacements
  • Reporting

This ensures you have a compliant installation.

Yes. Fire extinguishers are one component of a broader fire safety strategy that may also include:

  • Fire detection
  • Aspirating detection
  • Beam detection
  • Aerosol extinguishing
  • Evacuation systems
  • Fire hose reels

Firesafe Solutions assists companies in developing an integrated approach.

Virtually every business requires suitable extinguishing agents.

Including:

  • SMEs

  • Exits
  • Corridors
  • Technical rooms

  • Warehouses

The exact placement is determined based on the risk analysis.

Not every fire extinguisher is suitable for lithium-ion batteries. Specific procedures and solutions are necessary for battery fires.

Firesafe Solutions advises companies on suitable Battery Safety solutions, fire detection, and aerosol extinguishing for battery applications.

Fire extinguishers are intended for combating small fires. In the case of larger fires, the safety of individuals is always the priority, and the evacuation procedure must be followed immediately.
