Fire safety
Basic fire safety combines early warning with equipment for controlling a small fire. Find smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, fire blankets and accessories for homes, workplaces and organisations.
The range includes extinguishers for different fire risks, fire blankets in several sizes, smoke alarms, automatic powder sprinklers, extinguisher cabinets and fire signs. Select equipment for the environment in which it will be installed and always follow its label and instructions.
Vanliga frågor om fire safety
What fire safety equipment should a home have?
Swedish civil-protection guidance recommends smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket. A powder extinguisher of at least 6 kg is a common first choice because it covers several ordinary fire types. Keep the equipment accessible and make sure everyone in the household knows where it is stored.
Which fire extinguisher should I choose?
Start with what can burn. Powder covers many common hazards, carbon dioxide leaves no extinguishing-agent residue, wet-chemical models address cooking fats, and lithium models are designed for equipment containing lithium-ion batteries. Read the fire rating and stated application; a specialist workplace may need a different solution from a home.
Does a fire blanket replace an extinguisher?
No. A fire blanket is primarily a complement for a small fire that can be fully covered, such as a pan fire or burning clothing. It must be accessible without passing the fire. Homes are normally advised to have both a blanket and an extinguisher, as well as working smoke alarms.
How often should a smoke alarm be tested?
Test the alarm with its test button once a month and after a long absence. Follow the model's instructions for low-battery warnings, cleaning and replacement. If the battery is permanently built in, replace the complete alarm when the battery is depleted or the stated service life has been reached.
