In spite of improved safety procedures and rating systems, the risk of fire in our homes is still very high.

Every year families lose their homes and belongings to devastating fires that could be prevented with the right equipment. Everyone should have fire alarms, of course, but how many of us own fire extinguishers?

Small fires can start suddenly and spread quickly, threatening your home and endangering your life. Chip pan fires are easily created, and the old advice of smothering them with a towel is no longer recommended.

An extinguisher in the home can help you fight a small fire, preventing it from getting out of hand. This general purpose compact Fire Extinguisher is a 500g powder model that is suitable for solid, liquid and gas fires.

It can tackle hot fat fires, burning wood and other materials and gas fires. After pulling the pin you aim at the base of the fire and press the lever. The powder smothers the flames, helping you to get it under control before it spreads.

The compact size of this extinguisher means that it’s not just for use in the home, though. It’s also ideal for storing in places where fires are also likely to break out such as caravans, boats and cars. And it includes a handy wall clip so you can easily mount it in an easily accessible position out of the reach of children.

• Compact Fire Extinguisher
