Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher Installation

Installation is carried out following a detailed assessment of the cooking environment. Wet chemical extinguishers are positioned close to identified risk areas such as deep fat fryers and cooking ranges, ensuring they are accessible without obstructing operations. Our engineers plan placement in line with fire safety regulations, taking into account kitchen layout, equipment positioning, and staff workflow.

Features

Blue Check
Protection for Cooking Oil Fires
Wet chemical extinguishers are designed for fires involving cooking oils and fats. These types of fires require a specific approach due to the high temperatures involved and the potential for re ignition.

Their use supports fire safety in environments where standard extinguishers may not be suitable for this type of hazard.
Blue Check
Discharge Process
When operated, these extinguishers release a fine chemical mist that reacts with the burning oil. This reaction forms a layer over the surface, helping to cool the fire and prevent oxygen from fuelling further combustion.

The controlled discharge allows the user to apply the agent carefully, reducing the risk of splashing or spreading the fire.
Blue Check
Construction and Identification
Each fire extinguisher is manufactured with a durable cylinder and clear labelling to ensure correct identification in a busy kitchen environment. The design supports straightforward handling while maintaining consistent discharge performance.

Units are colour coded and marked to help staff quickly recognise the correct extinguisher during an emergency.
Blue Check
Compliance with Regulations
All extinguishers supplied by Croma Fire & Security meet current British Standards and are installed in accordance with fire safety legislation. We ensure that each fire extinguisher is correctly commissioned and recorded to support compliance across your premises.

Guidance can also be provided to help maintain safe working practices.
Blue Check
Servicing and Maintenance
Regular servicing is essential in kitchen environments where equipment is exposed to heat and grease. Our maintenance includes inspection of components, checking pressure levels, and confirming that each unit remains in suitable condition for use.

Routine servicing helps ensure continued reliability and supports compliance requirements.
Blue Check
Integration with Fire Safety Measures
Wet chemical extinguishers are often installed alongside other fire safety systems such as fire blankets, alarm systems, and extraction shut off controls. This allows for a coordinated approach to managing fire risks within kitchen settings.

By aligning extinguishers with other safety measures, businesses can maintain a structured fire response plan.
Blue Check
Specialist Kitchen Fire Suppression
Wet chemical extinguishers are specifically developed for use in commercial kitchen environments, where traditional extinguishing methods may not be effective. Their formulation is designed to address the unique challenges of high temperature cooking oil fires.

This targeted approach provides a higher level of control when dealing with fires involving deep fat fryers and cooking appliances, supporting safer fire management in demanding conditions.
Blue Check
Reduced Risk of Fire Spread
The controlled discharge of wet chemical extinguishers helps to minimise disturbance to the burning surface, reducing the risk of splashing hot oil or spreading flames. This is particularly important in busy kitchen environments where space may be limited.

By applying the extinguishing agent gently and effectively, the system supports safer intervention and helps contain the fire within the immediate area.
