Various types of Fire Hose Reels are available to meet specific needs. A control nozzle attached to the end of the hose enables the operator to control the direction and flow of water to the fire. Fire hose reels located in buildings can be used by building occupants to fight fire, providing it is safe to do so. They are located to provide a reasonably accessible and controlled supply of water to combat a potential fire risk, especially where building occupants are trapped and cannot escape to an emergency exit. Fire hose reels are manufactured to comply with local requirements. They are connected to the mains water supply or Fire Systems, and are either wall-mounted or in cabinets. They require appropriate signage indicating their location and suitability. The length of a fully extended fire hose is between 18 and 36 meters with a diameter of 13, 19mm or 25mm.

It is important to use the appropriate extinguisher for the type of substance that is burning (wood, oil, electrics, etc.) as shown by the classification below: Class A: suitable for combustible materials such as paper, wood, cardboard and most plastics. Class B: required when the fire involves flammable or combustible liquids such as petrol, kerosene, grease and oil. Class C: best suited for fires involving electrical equipment such as appliances, wiring, circuit breakers and outlets. NB: Never use water to extinguish class C fires! Class D: for fires involving chemicals and combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium. Class F: designed for fires that involve cooking oils, trans-fats or fats in cooking appliances that are typically found in restaurants. Different extinguishing mediums are available for specific classes of fire which necessitates the assessment of the type of hazard in the particular area you are protecting in order to maximise the effectiveness of the extinguisher you are going to have available in a fire emergency.

Signs are SANS 1186 ApprovedFire Hydrant Valves More information on Sandpipes Overview: A standpipe is a type of rigid water piping which is built into multi-story buildings in a vertical position to which fire hoses can be connected, allowing manual application of water to the fire. Within the context of a building or bridge, a standpipe serves the same purpose as a fire hydrant. Four types available: 1. Solid Head Standpipe with handle and without shut-off. 2. Swivel Head Standpipe without shut-off. 3. Swivel Head Standpipe with screw down valve. 4. Swivel Head Standpipe with British Standard BS336 connection. Advantages: Laying a firehose up a stairwell takes time, and this time is saved by having fixed hose outlets already in place. There is also a tendency for heavy wet hoses to slide downward when placed on an incline (such as the incline seen in a stairwell), whereas standpipes do not move. The use of standpipes keeps stairwells clear and is safer for exiting occupants. Standpipes go in a direct up and down direction rather than looping around the stairwell, greatly reducing the length and thus the loss of water pressure due to friction loss. Additionally, standpipes are rigid and do not kink, which can occur when a…Face ShieldsVehicle Brackets Vehicle brackets are made to fit various sizes and are normally manufactured with a single or double strap.
