Fire Extinguishers

Your First Line of Defence

Fire extinguishers are one of the most fundamental elements of any fire safety plan. When used correctly and promptly, they can contain a small fire before it becomes a major disaster — protecting people, equipment, and property. However, extinguishers must be the right type, correctly installed, clearly signed, and regularly serviced to be effective when needed.

At Active Fire Solution NZ, we provide a complete extinguisher service — from selecting the right type for your specific risk environment, to professional installation, ongoing maintenance, and full compliance documentation. Our technicians are certified and follow NZS 4503 and NZS 4508 standards.
