Buy Fire Extinguishers & Fire Safety Equipment Online

Select equipment according to the hazards in your premises. Smoke alarms provide early warning, while suitable extinguishers and fire blankets offer different ways to respond to a small, contained fire when it is safe to act.

Compare:
• Fire extinguishers – Extinguishing agent, labelled fire rating, capacity, and overall weight
• Fire blankets – Dimensions, intended use, and mounting arrangements
• Smoke detectors and alarms – Detection method, power source, and installation requirements

For household purchases, consider accessibility and ease of operation. For business premises, confirm the required equipment type, quantity, and coverage before ordering.

Fire Extinguisher Types for Homes, Offices & Workplaces

Different fire extinguisher types are designed for different burning materials. Compare the extinguishing agent and labelled fire rating before choosing a model. Cylinder size alone does not determine suitability.

Common types include:
• Dry powder fire extinguishers – Models may carry AB, ABC, or other ratings. Check the specific label and consider the powder residue left after discharge.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers – Commonly used for Class B fires and suitable electrical equipment risks. CO2 leaves no powder residue; check the manufacturer's operating limitations.
• Foam fire extinguishers – Commonly rated for Class A and B fires. Check the individual model for any additional applications.
• Wet chemical fire extinguishers – Commonly intended for Class F cooking oil and fat fires. Some models also carry a Class A rating.
• Water fire extinguishers – Generally intended for Class A materials such as wood, paper, and textiles. Water mist products may have different specifications.

These descriptions explain common types and do not confirm that every type is stocked in this category. Always follow the individual product's rating, label, and instructions.

Fire classes describe the materials burning:
• Class A – Solid combustible materials such as wood, paper, and textiles
• Class B – Flammable liquids and liquefiable solids
• Class C – Flammable gases
• Class D – Combustible metals
• Class F – Cooking oils and fats in cooking appliances
• Electrical equipment – Electricity is not a separate fire class under this classification; check suitability for energised electrical equipment

An ABC fire extinguisher does not include Class F protection. Do not assume a general-purpose extinguisher covers every household or workplace hazard.

Fire Blankets for Kitchens & Office Pantries

A fire blanket can help smother a small, contained fire by restricting its oxygen supply. Compare dimensions, intended applications, and manufacturer instructions when choosing a blanket for a kitchen or pantry.

Check:
• Blanket dimensions and intended coverage
• Suitability for the anticipated fire risk
• Container design and mounting instructions
• Inspection and replacement requirements

Keep the blanket accessible without positioning it directly above cooking equipment. Follow its instructions after use, and never use water on a cooking oil fire.

Smoke Detectors & Smoke Alarms in Singapore

A smoke detector senses smoke, while a standalone smoke alarm combines detection with an audible warning. Some detectors require connection to a compatible alarm system, so check how the device operates before buying.

For home use, look for a suitable home fire alarm device (HFAD) and compare:
• Detection method and intended setting
• Battery or other power arrangements
• Audible alarm and low-battery indicators
• Testing features and installation instructions
• Device lifespan and replacement guidance

Choose a device suited to your property and applicable requirements. A standalone home alarm should not be assumed to replace a building's required fire detection and alarm system.

Fire Safety Equipment for Homes, Offices & Industrial Premises

Match equipment to the activities, materials, and layout of each location. A home kitchen, retail shop, and industrial workshop present different fire risks.

Consider:
• Homes – Suitable smoke alarms and accessible firefighting equipment
• Kitchens and pantries – Protection suited to cooking risks, including oils and fats
• Offices and shops – Extinguishers matched to the hazards and required alarm provisions
• Workshops and warehouses – Equipment selected for stored materials, machinery, and processes

Review detection, equipment access, and evacuation arrangements together. Purchasing equipment alone does not establish compliance with building fire safety requirements.

Compare Fire Extinguisher Prices, Ratings & Capacities

Compare fire extinguisher prices alongside suitability and what is included. Models with similar capacities can have different fire ratings, extinguishing agents, accessories, and maintenance needs.

Before ordering, review:
• Current price and stock availability
• Extinguishing agent and labelled fire rating
• Agent capacity, dimensions, and overall weight
• Model-specific certification information
• Mounting bracket and other accessories supplied
• Inspection, servicing, and replacement requirements

When comparing 1kg and 2kg fire extinguishers, distinguish the agent capacity from the total weight users must handle. For business premises, confirm the required fire rating and coverage before choosing a capacity.

For fire blankets, compare dimensions and intended use. For smoke alarms, review power arrangements, testing features, and installation requirements.

Choosing a Fire Extinguisher for an HDB Flat or Home

Choose a home fire extinguisher according to your household's fire risks and occupants' ability to operate it. For an HDB flat, condominium, or landed property, consider both accessible placement and manageable operating weight.

Check:
• The model's labelled fire rating and intended applications
• Suitability for the hazards in your home
• Overall weight and ease of handling
• A location occupants can reach safely
• Certification details and maintenance instructions

Cooking oil and fat fires require suitable Class F-rated protection. Dry powder models can have different ratings, so check the individual product rather than relying on the agent name alone.

Read the instructions before an emergency occurs. Only attempt to tackle a small fire when it is safe, you know how to use the equipment, and you have a clear escape route. If conditions become unsafe, evacuate and call 995.

Fire Extinguisher Placement, Inspection & Maintenance

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable requirements when installing and maintaining fire safety equipment.

Regular checks include:
• Keeping extinguishers visible and unobstructed
• Ensuring operating instructions remain legible
• Checking for damage, corrosion, leakage, or missing parts
• Checking the pressure indicator where fitted
• Testing smoke alarms according to their instructions
• Inspecting fire blankets and their containers for damage

SCDF advises inspecting portable fire extinguishers at least monthly. Arrange required servicing through a certified servicing company using qualified, trained personnel.

For workplace installations, confirm the required equipment type, quantity, rating, and placement with a qualified fire safety professional.

Benefits of Suitable Fire Safety Equipment

Suitable equipment, regular maintenance, and familiarity with its use help occupants prepare for a fire emergency.

Benefits include:
• Earlier warning from suitable smoke alarms
• A means of responding to a small fire when safe
• Potential reduction in damage through timely action
• Better understanding of equipment and emergency procedures

Include equipment checks in your routine, alongside keeping exits clear and reviewing evacuation arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Safety Equipment

Where can I buy fire safety equipment in Singapore?
You can shop online at Horme Hardware for fire extinguishers, fire blankets, smoke detectors, and related supplies. Compare available products, prices, and specifications, then check stock and delivery options before ordering.

Which fire extinguisher should I buy for home use?
Choose according to your household's fire risks, the model's labelled rating, and occupants' ability to handle it. Check certification information and operating instructions. Cooking oil and fat fires require suitable Class F-rated protection.

What is the difference between dry powder and CO2 fire extinguishers?
Dry powder extinguishers discharge a powder agent and may carry different ratings, including AB or ABC. CO2 extinguishers discharge carbon dioxide and leave no powder residue. Compare each model's labelled applications and operating limitations before choosing.

Should I choose a 1kg or 2kg fire extinguisher?
Compare the fire rating, agent capacity, overall weight, and intended application. A lighter unit may be easier to handle, but size alone does not determine suitability. For business premises, confirm the required rating and coverage before buying.

How much does a fire extinguisher cost in Singapore?
Check the current product listings for prices. Costs vary by extinguishing agent, capacity, fire rating, brand, and included accessories. Review ongoing maintenance requirements when comparing options.

What certification information should I check?
Review the certification details for the specific model and check its certification-body label when supplied. SCDF does not approve or endorse commercial fire extinguisher products, so an “SCDF-approved” sales claim should not replace supporting documentation.

Where should I keep a fire blanket?
Keep it accessible near the kitchen, where you can reach it without approaching a fire. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and avoid positioning it directly above cooking equipment.

Are smoke detectors and smoke alarms the same?
A smoke detector senses smoke. A standalone smoke alarm also provides an audible warning. Check whether the device operates independently or requires connection to a compatible alarm system.

How often should fire safety equipment be checked?
Inspect portable fire extinguishers at least monthly, as advised by SCDF, and arrange required professional servicing. Test smoke alarms and inspect fire blankets according to their manufacturers' instructions.
