At Fire Sweep, we believe fire safety begins with preparation, training, and reliable equipment. Guided by NFPA 10 standards, our ABC fire extinguishers are part of a comprehensive approach to keeping you ready for emergencies.

safety

  • The NFPA 10 Code’s goal is to ensure extinguishers are ready to provide a first line of defense against small, contained fires in the workplace or at home.

  • The PASS method—an easy-to-remember acronym for effective fire extinguisher use:

    • Pull the pin

    • Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire

    • Squeeze the handle

    • Sweep from side to side

  • Fire extinguishers are most effective when paired with smart safety practices:

    • Clear Visibility: Ensure all employees know the location of extinguishers throughout your facility.

    • Evacuation Plans: Design quick, accessible exit routes and establish a designated meeting point outside the building.

    • Safety Wardens: Appoint reliable team members to guide evacuations, assist others, and conduct head counts.

    • Regular Fire Drills: Conduct routine drills to test your emergency response, build confidence, and meet regulatory standards.
