Equipments to deal with fire
There are multiple equipment you can affix to the walls of your buildings or rooms. Either these could be handled without the help of a fire brigade or you may need to reach out to them to use them. A few of these are outlined below:

These types of extinguishing equipment should never be considered to prop open any door. Just get it fixed to the wall and, every month it must be thoroughly inspected.
Fire extinguishers are cramped with powder, water additive, foam and carbon dioxide. You must go for this only when you are planning to fire-proof rooms and other smaller places and shouldn’t depend upon these to assuage large fires.
2. Fire hoses
These equipment gushes out a powerful stream of water that helps bring large fires to a standstill. The tubes of these can stretch up to 30 metres, thus abating fire within the mentioned distance. This also smooths the path for hose to unfold so the fire could be brought under control swiftly.
Fire hoses come with a variety of nozzles, attachable to the end, suitable to deal with maximum types of fire. One can rely on Lesso Fire Fighting Pipes.
3. Fire buckets
This type of fire extinguishing equipment is the simplest of all but still is feisty and effective to the max. The standard red bucket that you would find in any place, has the word ‘Fire’ scrawled over it and these are customarily made of metal or plastic.

All you have to do is to flip the bucket over so that the element gets poured onto the fire/ the area burning in fire. Repeat until the fire is brought under control.
4. Fire and welding blankets
Fire blankets are relied on when dealing with small fires, usually erupts in the workplace or at home. For the kitchen or caravan, one can go for economy fire blankets or white kitchen blankets. Conversely, when dealing with a large workspace or residency plot, one should have a 1.2m x 1.2m blanket to avoid being beaten back by the flames.
If someone is working in a commercial kitchen or places with stuff having high flammability then they are advised to get a 1.8m x 1.75m fire blanket. These could be opened quickly with a special pull attribute.
Welding blankets are used to foil sparks and splatter that could be potentially threatening to the welders. The major plus point of such blankets is that it comes in various weights and sizes.
5. Flamezorb

One can opt for these especially when they are sensitive to toxic elements, for these are non-toxic and easy to wipe up. Each bag of Flamezorb boasts enough powder to fill up a 10L fire bucket, as discussed in the previous section. These are suitable when working in large areas like a garage forecourt.
6. Thick-woolen Blankets
Blankets are often a reliable and cheap alternative to fire extinguishers. When one doesn’t have any other equipment, they can go for multi-layered blankets.
