Firefighting equipment is varied and can be operated by anyone while other types of firefighting equipment must be operated only be members of the fire fighting brigade. The most common types of firefighting equipment that is placed in a building are fire extinguishers, fire extinguisher hoses, fire hydrant systems and automatic sprinkler systems. A fire extinguisher could be used to douse a small fire and the right type of extinguisher could be used to put out the fire while it’s small and controllable.

Fire extinguisher hose could be used by the occupants of a building or by fire fighters. A fire hydrant system is a water reticulation system that is installed in buildings and helps fire fighters speed up the fire fighting process. The hydrant system transports water thus limiting the amount of hose the fire fighters have to lay in the event of a fire.

Automatic sprinkler systems are a reliable method to put out fires in a building. The sprinkler is connected to a pressurized water system. When the sprinkler head heats up, it opens, allowing the water to spray down on the fire. Some of the most popular locations in UAE to get in touch with manufacturers and suppliers of firefighting equipment are Mussafah and Khalidiya in Abu Dhabi, Al Qusais Industrial area 3 in Dubai and Industrial area 6 in Sharjah.
