Wet chemical fire extinguishers in Otley
Otley’s pubs, cafés and takeaways need a wet chemical extinguisher and a fire blanket wherever there is a deep fat fryer, because water on burning oil causes a violent flare-up. We supply, commission and service them, with annual servicing to BS 5306-3.
CO2 fire extinguishers in Otley
CO2 extinguishers are the standard choice wherever there is electrical equipment, because they leave no residue. We supply and service CO2 extinguishers for Otley offices, shops and plant rooms, and refill or replace them after use. Otley is around 15 minutes from our Baildon office, so we can usually fit visits around your opening hours.
