Foam fire extinguishers — identified by their cream or orange label — are
the most commonly used fire extinguisher in Irish commercial premises. They
are effective on both Class A fires (ordinary combustibles) and Class B
fires (flammable liquids) — making them the most versatile general purpose
extinguisher for most commercial environments.
RFC supply, install and service foam extinguishers for commercial premises

🏢

🏪
Retail Premises
Suitable for retail units, shops and commercial spaces with mixed fire risks.
🏨
Hotels
Used throughout hotel corridors, bedrooms and public areas for Class A coverage.
🏭
Warehouses
Effective for warehouse environments with stored goods, packaging and flammable liquids.
Foam extinguishers work in two ways — they cool the burning material
and they smother the fire by forming a blanket of foam over the surface,
cutting off the oxygen supply. This makes them particularly effective
on Class B fires involving flammable liquids, where the foam blanket
prevents re-ignition.
AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) is the most common type used in
commercial premises in Ireland. AFFF foam forms a thin film over
flammable liquids that seals the vapours and prevents them from
igniting or re-igniting.
When NOT to Use a Foam Extinguisher
Electrical fires — foam is a conductor of electricity. Never use on live electrical equipment
Class F fires (cooking oil) — foam can cause a violent reaction with hot cooking oils. A wet chemical extinguisher is required
Class C fires (flammable gases) — foam is not effective on gas fires
Class D fires (flammable metals) — specialist dry powder required
