Commercial Portable Fire Extinguishers
|
Fire Extinguishers can be considered the “first line of defence" when personnel are confronted with an incident involving fire.
The products we offer are all manufactured to the strict requirements of the appropriate Australian Standards and are warranted against defects for a period of six (6) years providing they are installed and maintained by Wormald in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards.
The locations and types of fires vary considerably, Wormald are able to provide protection for all types and classes of fires. Our personnel are also able to assist clients in selecting the correct fire extinguisher for their particular risk.

A very efficient and cost effective method to combat certain types of fires, the normal capacity of this type of fire extinguisher is 9 litres. Water acts to reduce the temperature of the burning fuel so it is below its ignition point.
Water extinguishers are efficient and cost effective against Class A fires involving:
- Paper
- Textiles
- Wood
- Plastics
- Rubber
Water acts to reduce the fuel, which is burning, to below the ignition temperature. The normal capacity of this type of extinguisher is 9ltr.
These particular extinguishers are not suitable to be utilised on Class B, (E) or F fires.

|
These extinguishers contain a concentrate mixed with water, which produces foam when discharged. The normal capacity of this type of fire extinguisher is 9 litres.
Foam extinguishers are effective against Class A & B fires involving:
- Paper
- Textiles
- Wood
- Plastics and Rubber
- Petrol
- Oil and Paints
Foam provides a blanket covering when utilised on flammable liquid or carbonaceous fires assisting with the exclusion of oxygen and thus reducing the ability of fuel to continue burning.
The normal capacity of this type of extinguisher is 9ltr.
This fire extinguisher should not be used on electrical equipment (Class (E)) fires.

Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishers
|
|
Dry Chemical Powder fire extinguishers (DCP's) are the most widely used fire extinguishers, suitable for use on many types of fires. The compact nature of these fire extinguishers, ranging from the 0.9kg domestic model up to the 9kg industrial model, enables them to be utilised in numerous applications.
Dry Chemical Powder extinguishers are effective against fires involving:
- Paper, Textiles, Wood, Plastics and Rubber
- Petrol, Oil and Paints
- LPG, CNG and Acetylene
- Electrically Energised Equipment
Special powder is available for Class D (metal) fires, however have a limited impact upon the other Classes of fires.
The dry powder discharged against a fire has the ability to absorb fuel molecules into the surface thus diminishing the ability of the fire to continue. However, consideration must be given to the location and usage of this product due to the discharging of this fine powder.
Specific concerns include the restriction of vision for a short period, the infiltration of powder into sensitive equipment and the creation of residue which, when dry, may be able to be vacuumed.
Consideration must be given to the location and usage of this product. The discharging of a fine powder in certain areas may cause specific concerns requiring consideration. These include the restriction of vision for a short period, the infiltration of powder into sensitive equipment or the creation of residue which, when dry, may be able to be vacuumed.

Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers
|
|
The normal capacities of this type of fire extinguisher is 7 litres, however Wormald has developed a 3.5 litre Wet Chemical extinguisher with a 1A:4F rating, ideal where space is a restricting feature such as restaurant kitchens.
These extinguishers utilise an aqueous solution discharged in a fine spray to the surface of Class F fires.
The agent reacts with the burning oil, or fat, forming a ‘blanket’ which extinguishes the flame by creating a saionifying action and changing the burning liquid into a soap like substance. Once used, as the solution is usually alkaline, it is recommended the surface be cleaned and all residue removed within a reasonable time period.
This product should not be used on Class (E) fires, however it will be effective on Class A fires.
Wet Chemical extinguishers are effective against fires involving:
This product should not be used on electrical equipment fires, however it will be effective on fires involving Paper, Textiles, Wood, Plastics and Rubber.

Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers
|
|
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers are recommended by New Zealand Standards for use in electronic environments. The normal capacities of this type of fire extinguisher ranges from 2kg to 5kg. The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher is recommended by Australian Standards as “…the preferred extinguishant for use in electronic environments”.
Carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere, stored at high pressure in the liquid state within a fire extinguisher, for effective usage on Class (E) fires.
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers are effective against fires involving:
- Electrically Energised Equipment
This extinguisher may also be used on small flammable and combustible liquid Class B fires.
CO2 is a non-conductive and non-corrosive agent which reduces the oxygen available to support the fire. As carbon dioxide replaces oxygen, the discharge by personnel within extremely confined spaces is discouraged. Equally, as the agent dissipates easily into the atmosphere, the effect is limited where there is air movement.

Sapphire MRI Fire Extinguishers
|
|
The Sapphire MRI extinguisher is specifically designed for use in hazard areas that require a reliable and safe non-magnetic fire extinguisher. The unique Sapphire sustainable chemical agent is electrically non- conductive, will not damage sensitive equipment, leaves no messy residue and requires no clean up.
The fire extinguisher has a completely non-magnetic stainless steel shell and non- magnetic valve, hose and nozzle, and can be safely used in an MRI room.
Sapphire MRI extinguishers are effective against fires involving:
- Paper, Textiles, Wood, Plastics and Rubber
- Electrically Energized Equipment
Wormald has developed the Sapphire MRI extinguisher using the revolutionary 3MTM; 1230 Fire Protection Fluid. Although stored in liquid form, it quickly vaporizes when released to extinguish the fire by absorbing the heat.
Although the agent looks exactly like water, it does not cause the type of damage that is usually associated with water when putting out a fire.
The normal capacity of this fire extinguisher is 6 KG.
The Sapphire MRI extinguisher is especially designed for use in hazard areas that require a reliable and safe non-magnetic fire extinguisher.

Mobile Fire Extinguishers
|
|
Wheeled or “mobile” fire extinguishers are normally used for applications where a substantial amount of fire extinguishing agent is required.
The more common of these types of wheeled fire extinguisher are:
Dry Chemical Powder (DCP)
-
Agents could vary from BE, ABE to high performance powders
-
Capacities range from 25 kgs of agent upward
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Foam
Mobile fire extinguishers are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of Australian Standards 4265-1995.
It is a requirement that the unit can be operated by one person and, in the case of DCP and Foam units could be either gas container or stored pressure types.

Remember this easy code: PASS
P - Pull the pin
A - Aim at the base of the fire
S – Squeeze the lever
S - Sweep the powder from left to right.
Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep!
Different types have different chemicals. ABC Dry Chemical is the most common multi-purpose fire extinguisher. These are the ratings:
A-Type : (Ordinary Combustibles): wood, paper, cloth, and trash
B-Type : (Flammable Liquids); gasoline, oil and paint
C-Type : (Safe for Use on Energized Electrical Fires)
Can be used without danger of shock or electrocution
D-Type : (combustible metals such as magnesium, potassium and powdered aluminum)
K-Type : (cooking media such as oils and fats)
