  1. Ok thanks Harry, am I correct in saying that dry water mist extinguishers can be used to fight most fire types? Would you say dry mist extinguishers are popular even though they are slightly more expensive? Because I have never seen them around but is this because they're relatively new on the market? Thanks for your help, Dan
  2. Thanks for your response, ok, whats your opinion of water mist fire extinguishers? For example: would it be better to have one water mist extinguisher or both co2 and foam extinguisher's?
  3. Thanks for your your reply, I meant maximum not minimum. Sorry for the confusion. I know with fire extinguishers there is a maximum distance between them. I was wondering if this was the same with call points and if so if it was the same distance apart as extinguishers?
  4. Is there a minimum distance requirement between each call point? Thanks, Dan
  5. Hi, i'm a university student studying product design. For my major project I am designing a fire point system aiming to reduce fear and intimidation to people in the need for using fire extinguishers in a public or working environment. By changing the experience and the way people think and feel in that situation I'm aiming to provide confidence through the design. By fire point system I mean an all-in-one wall stand which will consist of extinguishers, break glass call point, fire alarm and improved signage. Is there usually the same amount of extinguishers as fire alarms and call points in a building? Ive found through observation that these products are usually located near each other and on fire escape routes, is this correct? Do you think this would be viable? In terms of maintenance and by buying all in one go? For my model I was going to include a CO2 and a foam extinguisher as I found this was the most common combination. However since I have been researching iv'e come across the water mist extinguisher which can fight nearly all of the fire types, but this was on average £100 in comparison to the co2 and foam which combined came to £60. So, which is more cost efficient? When companies buy fire equipment does cost come into mind? Would they usually buy the cheapest option? I'm trying to make this system viable and affordable. Thanks for your help, Dan
