Fire Extinguishers for Boats

Fire extinguishers for boats can include automatic extinguishers and standard units alike.

The Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) recommends having well-maintained and approved portable fire extinguishers on board to tackle any smaller fires. Meanwhile, automatic extinguishers are designed to quickly suppress any fire started by the internal engine of the boat.

Make sure you meet boat fire extinguisher requirements with the right units on your vessel. At Fire Safety Equipment, we stock a wide range of high-quality extinguishers to tackle various risk points such as cooking and lighting equipment.

Fire Safety Challenges on Boats

Fires on boats can cost lives, with a number of sources to blame for these devastating incidents. One of the biggest fire safety challenges on a boat is the fuel used and the engine area, but even the living quarters pose a risk too in terms of kitchen spaces, electronics and the use of open flames like candles.

Due to the range of fuel and ignition sources on boats, it’s imperative that you have fire safety equipment in place. From powder and foam fire extinguishers to LITH-EX extinguishers to deal with battery fires, you can protect staff and passengers, as well as the expensive asset that is your boat.
