Description
The Alecto foam fire extinguisher is designed to extinguish incipient fires involving solids and flammable liquids. Foam generally causes significantly less collateral damage than dry chemical powder, making it a practical choice for homes, offices, garages, and workshops.
Safety advice: Use a fire extinguisher only for a small, manageable fire, and make sure the exit behind you remains clear. If you are unable to extinguish the fire immediately, leave the room and call 112.
Choose the Right Capacity

What should you keep in mind?
These foam extinguishers are not freeze-resistant and have a specified operating temperature range of approximately 5 to 60 °C. Therefore, place them in an easily accessible, frost-free location. For gas fires, an ABC powder extinguisher is more suitable. Always verify that the selected fire extinguisher is appropriate for the risks in the area.
