Types of Fire Fighting Equipment

There are basically two types of fire fighting equipment: fixed (on a building structure) and portable (on an individual person). The type or style of fire you are trying to put out will determine the kind of fire fighting equipment you need. 

Here are the most commong types of fire fighting equipments you should know about:

• Fire Extinguishers are portable devices used in extinguishing a small fire or to reduce a fire area before fighfighters arrive. These are placed where they can be easily reached when a fire emergency arises. 
• Fire Alarms are designed to alert people to an emergency. These are detection devices that can detect smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide.
• Fire Sprinkler is a network of pipes installed in the ceiling holding water pressure. It discharges water automatically when a fire is detected.

Fire Pumps work through the use of an engine which can also be powered by diesel or electricity. Fire pumps are needed in order for a fire sprinkler to work effectively especially when the water pressure is insufficient.
