Secure your temporary kitchens and event spaces with professional safety hire. Book fire extinguishers, blankets, and signage online with live stock updates.
Outdoor events, temporary kitchens, and market stalls demand rigorous fire precautions. Event organisers and caterers must meet strict regulations to protect staff and attendees. Sourcing reliable safety hire reduces the risk of fire from electrical appliances, cooking stations, or flammable materials. Expo Hire supplies essential items for secure environments across England and Wales.
Fire extinguishers tackle small fires before they spread. Expo Hire holds two types most suitable for temporary event spaces: CO2 and dry powder units.
CO2 fire extinguishers handle fires involving electrical equipment or flammable liquids. They smother the flames and cool the heat source without leaving residue. These units suit pop-up kitchens and food preparation areas. You can operate them near sensitive electrical components without causing further damage. Standard CO2 extinguishers hold a 2kg capacity, keeping them compact for tight spaces.
Dry powder fire extinguishers suppress multiple fire classes. They contain fires involving solids, liquids, and gases, including cooking oils or gas cylinders. The powder forms a blanket, cutting off the oxygen supply. Expo Hire delivers 6kg dry powder units. These provide ample fire-fighting power for general areas, workshops, or marquees operating gas heating.
Beyond extinguishers, fire blankets deal with specific fire types in confined spaces. A fire blanket smothers small, contained fires, particularly those involving cooking oils or fats in a temporary kitchen. They consist of two layers of woven glass fibre fabric. These blankets measure 1.2 metres by 1.2 metres, a standard size for catering safety. You position them near cookers or fryers, ready for immediate deployment. Adding fire blankets keeps your preparation areas compliant alongside your crockery hire and glassware hire for major catering events.
Clear safety signage guides people and identifies critical equipment. Expo Hire stocks durable signs for demanding event environments. "Fire Extinguisher" signs mark the location of your firefighting equipment. "Fire Exit" signs show escape routes. "No Smoking" signs enforce rules in areas containing flammable materials or food preparation zones. These signs feature self-adhesive backing for fast placement or come with pre-drilled holes for screw fixing. Bright colours and clear pictograms communicate instructions instantly. Adding these signs to your equipment order keeps your venue compliant with local authority requirements.
