At Forth Fire Protection, we supply portable fire extinguishers from Thomas Glover & Company to customers throughout Central Scotland.

Each unit is compliant with the European P.E.D. (Pressure Equipment Directive) and CE mark, and comes with a five-year guarantee for added peace of mind. We also offer fire alarm installation, have a look at all our products.
ROBUST FIRE BLANKETS
In addition to our range of portable fire extinguishers, we offer high-quality fire blankets specifically designed to effectively extinguish cooking oil fires, a common hazard in kitchens. Our fire blankets are made from a unique 3-ply material with two layers of woven glass fibre fabric, providing exceptional durability and heat resistance. The inner layer consists of a fire retardant film, ensuring the blanket can withstand high temperatures and effectively smother flames. These fire blankets are compact and easy to store, making them ideal for both home and commercial kitchens. Each blanket comes with a bright red one-piece holder for quick and easy access in an emergency. This design ensures that users can swiftly retrieve the blanket when needed, allowing for a rapid response to potential fire hazards.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR YOUR PREMISES
Selecting the correct fire extinguisher starts with understanding the fire risks present in your property. A unit suited to one environment may be unsuitable for another, so relying on appearance or size alone is not advisable. Kitchens, offices, workshops, and areas containing electrical equipment may require different fire-fighting provisions.
At Forth Fire Protection, our team considers the activities taking place on your premises and the associated hazards before recommending suitable equipment. For businesses in Edinburgh, this approach supports a more practical fire protection strategy rather than simply adding extinguishers without considering their intended use. We also consider accessibility and placement so equipment remains readily available during an emergency.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD FIRE EXTINGUISHERS BE SERVICED?
Routine servicing allows property owners to identify issues before equipment is needed. The appropriate schedule depends on the type of premises and applicable requirements, so professional advice is important.
Regular servicing should consider:
-
Signs of damage or leakage
-
Correct pressure and overall condition
-
Accessibility and suitable positioning
-
Recharging or replacement requirements identified during inspection
Our fire extinguisher services cover ongoing equipment needs, including servicing and recharging where appropriate. Keeping records of maintenance also provides useful evidence that fire safety arrangements receive regular attention.
