Description

We supply a variety of different sized carbon dioxide fire extinguishers (CO2 extinguisher). A CO2 Fire extinguisher will displace the oxygen around the fire using non-flammable carbon dioxide gas, making them highly effective at suppressing a fire quickly. Our company is proud to be a supplier of Centa fire extinguishers and fire service products with BBBEE Accreditations.
