Service
Fire Extinguishers and Hydrant Systems
अग्निशामक यंत्र और हाइड्रेंट प्रणालियाँ
First-aid extinguishers and fire water infrastructure, from hose reels and risers to tanks and pumps, matched to the hazards present.
Overview
Portable extinguishers are the first line of response to a small fire, while hose reels, risers, hydrants and the tanks and pumps behind them provide the water needed for larger incidents. Both have to be chosen, placed and maintained deliberately.
Extinguishers are commonly provided in line with IS 2190, with type and placement based on the fire risk and ease of access, alongside a range of fire water systems installed by trained engineers.

Equipment and engineering considerations
Right extinguisher, right fire
Different extinguishers suit different fire classes. Using the wrong one can be ineffective or dangerous.
Reach and visibility
Equipment should be easy to see and reach, and marked with signage.
Water reserves and pressure
Tanks, pumps and risers must provide adequate supply and pressure for the system's design.
Maintenance
Inspection and servicing intervals depend on the equipment and applicable standards.
Typical service process
Hazard review
Identify the kinds of fire risk in each area.
Select equipment
Choose types and locations with reference to the applicable standards.
Plan water infrastructure
Define the risers, hydrants, tanks and pumps the building needs.
Install
Install and mark equipment.
Familiarise and maintain
Show people how to use it and set up a maintenance routine.
Standards and compliance considerations
Read this carefully
IS 2190 is the Indian Standard commonly cited for first-aid extinguishers. Always check the current edition before specifying.
Equipment selection, placement, maintenance and design depend on the applicable standards and the building's hazard classification.

FAQ
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Fire Extinguishers and Hydrant Systems: common questions
Requirements differ from building to building and must be assessed against the regulations that apply.
Where should extinguishers be placed?
Placement follows hazard and travel reach under the applicable standard. We assess each area rather than apply one rule everywhere.
What is a wet riser?
A wet riser is a vertical pipe permanently filled with water that lets firefighters draw water on upper floors.
What do terrace tanks do?
They store water at height for fire fighting use and are supported by terrace pumps as required by the design.
