Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a fire extinguisher?
A 6-litre foam extinguisher or 6 kg powder extinguisher costs from €9 per day with us, €15 for a weekend and €25 per week (net). Wet chemical extinguishers from €12, CO₂ extinguishers from €15 per day. Delivery and collection are added unless you collect them yourself.
Which fire extinguisher do I need for my stall?
That depends on the type of stall. For stalls without gas, a 6-litre water or foam extinguisher is usually enough; with liquefied gas, a 6 kg ABC powder extinguisher is required, and for fryers a wet chemical extinguisher in addition. The overview on this page follows the Berlin Fire Brigade guidance sheet.
How large does the fire extinguisher need to be?
Extinguishers for fire classes A, AB or ABC must contain at least 6 kg or 6 litres of extinguishing agent. For wet chemical extinguishers, the rating counts: it must cover the quantity of fat in the fryer plus a 25% reserve.
Is a fire blanket enough?
No. Fire blankets may be kept ready in addition, but under the Berlin Fire Brigade guidance sheet they do not replace a fire extinguisher.
What happens if an extinguisher has been used?
Please let us know when you return it. We charge the refilling and inspection at cost.
Do you also hire out fire extinguishers for longer periods, for example for construction sites?
Yes. For construction sites, temporary uses and film productions we offer weekly and monthly hire – get in touch.
