Fire Protection
A great way to protect you, your home, and your workplace is to invest in a portable fire extinguisher. We would recommend the StaySafe All-in-One - an extinguisher that’s built to tackle multiple types of fire, in seconds.
The StaySafe All-in-1 Fire Extinguisher is a compact, lightweight recyclable plastic aerosol fire extinguisher.
It’s designed to use anywhere a fire might start. It’s easy to use too – just remove the cap, point at the fire and spray until the unit is fully discharged.
