We've all seen them, the humble red fire bucket sitting apparently unloved and unused in the corner. However, there are thousands of people who, over the years, owe their lives and livelihoods to this most ordinary of items.
The familiar red fire bucket is the simplest of all fire items to operate, no training required, and is immediately recognisable by all ages. Modern fire buckets really have changed little on the outside, bearing the single word Fire and available in either plastic or metal, and with or without lids.
Fire Buckets: Put a Lid on It
Lids for your plastic or metal fire buckets are a good investment, so the fire buckets do not become contaminated with accidentally discarded rubbish, or the curse of every fire officer's life, old cigarette ends. (Although with the new anti-smoking laws, there really shouldn't be any of these inside a building anyway…)
What's In Your Bucket?
As we say here at Fire Protection Online, leave the sand at the beach and fill your fire bucket with something a lot more effective. Flamezorb is a non-toxic, compound that effectively smothers flames, is highly absorbent for spillages and is easy to clear up. Ideal for garage forecourts or similar situations where quick, easy solutions are required, a single 2kg bag of Flamezorb will fill a large 10 litre bucket.
