FireSafe West Midlands: fire extinguishers and safety supplies from Worcestershire

FireSafe West Midlands is a family-run business based in Worcestershire that sells fire safety and first aid equipment throughout the UK and Northern Ireland. The company describes itself as an online fire extinguisher supplier and states that it can deliver anything from a single small domestic extinguisher to commercial pallets directly to the customer's door.

Its extinguisher range carries five-year warranties, according to the company, and all units are described as kitemarked to BSEN3 and CE approved.

Extinguisher types and sizes

The catalogue covers the main extinguisher media: CO2, foam, powder and water, alongside the MultiCHEM range, which the company presents as suitable for fighting multiple classes of fire. Water variants include plain water, water with additive and water mist. CO2 extinguishers are offered both new and refurbished. A lithium battery extinguisher also appears in the product menu.

Units are sold in a range of sizes, which the company frames as a way to match different settings and requirements.

Signage, stands and storage

Fire extinguisher identification signs are sold photoluminescent as standard, so they remain visible in low-light conditions. The company states that these signs meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and explain which medium each extinguisher contains and which classes of fire it should and should not be used on. The range includes landscape and portrait formats.

Extinguisher stands and cabinets are marketed as protection against corrosion, vandalism and accidental damage, a point the company links to British Standards. Construction bundles are also listed.

Alarms, blankets and accessories

Beyond extinguishers, the shop lists carbon monoxide alarms, smoke alarms, fire blankets and a set of safety signs covering fire action, fire assembly point, fire door and fire exit notices.

First aid line

A separate first aid section includes washproof plasters, hot and cold gel packs, burn kits, bleed control kits, eye wash stations, workplace first aid kits sized for different staff numbers, and defibrillators with indoor cabinets. The catalogue at the time of writing showed, for example, a 100-pack of assorted HypaPlast washproof plasters, a HypaGel hot/cold pack, a HypaGuard indoor AED cabinet, a medium HypaSoothe burns kit, a HypaStop critical injury bleed control kit, an HSE economy workplace kit for 11 to 20 people, an Evolution workplace kit and an Evolution eye wash station.

Customers and background

The company reports clients including the Royal Navy, medical centres, schools, haulage firms, agriculture and food producers, car dealerships, gymnastic centres, engineering firms and letting agents. It also offers fire risk assessments as a service.

On its own account, the family previously ran and maintained a fire protection business for more than 15 years, and one member served 17 years as an operational firefighter with Mid & West Wales Fire & Rescue Service. The company says these ties to the sector, together with relationships with manufacturers, give it access to a broad product range and inform the advice it gives customers.
