A foam fire extinguisher is one of the most effective and versatile choices for everyday fire safety, offering fast‑acting suppression for the types of fires you’re most likely to encounter. Class A fires; involving wood, paper, textiles and other everyday combustibles are the most common fire type in homes and workplaces.
Britannia's P50 6ltr fluorine-free A-foam fire extinguisher is a service-free unit that does not require servicing annually by a trained engineer, only a visual inspection is required for its 10 year lifespan. Kitemarked to BS EN3, the foam in this extinguisher is free from harmful PFAS chemicals found in traditional AFFF foam, making it a more environmental choice.
P50 fire extinguishers do not require an annual service by an extinguisher technician. A simple visual inspection can be carried out by a member of your team.
A single P50 fire extinguisher can often replace a two-extinguisher fire point. This is because of their superior fire ratings and ability to fight multiple fire types.
Thanks to their unique design and construction, P50 extinguishers are built to last. They offer an impressive 20-year lifespan and are backed by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Excellent proven fire-fighting performance across multiple fire classes coupled with a durable, weatherproof construction and lightweight handling.
Manufactured in the UK to the highest quality standards, P50 extinguishers are CE marked and Kitemarked by the British Standards Institution to BS EN3.
Having one fire extinguisher at each fire point instead of two removes confusion about which one to use in an emergency, empowering users and simplifying your fire safety.
P50 extinguishers are manufactured using a low-carbon process that uses approximately half the energy required to produce an equivalent steel extinguisher.
All the components used to construct the P50 extinguishers can be reused or recycled. They can be factory refurbished after 10 years to provide another 10-years of protection.

"We were blown away with the opportunity to simplify safety through the installation of P50s across our estate. P50s are the next level of extinguisher; folding 2 extinguishers into one and removing extensive and expensive maintenance regimes. All while allowing us to improve asset management, simplify training and make it easier for a colleague to execute a potentially life savings action in the event of a fire."
From the conception through to project completion, the Safelincs team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise, and commitment to delivering the highest standards. Their knowledge and understanding of the specific requirements of a busy healthcare environment gave us complete confidence throughout the process. The installation was carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption to hospital operations, and every member of the team was courteous, and highly professional. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and dedication to ensuring full compliance with fire safety regulations were exemplary.
The 2 main benefits to the change to P50 extinguishers are that (1) it represents an innovative and cost-effective solution compared to traditional extinguishers, and also (2) with its capability to extinguish multiple classes of fire there is no chance that the wrong extinguisher can be used. The change to P50 extinguishers has contributed a significant reduction of 22,000kg across the life span of the project to support the NHS carbon reduction plan and net zero commitment.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Safelincs to any organisation seeking a trusted, knowledgeable, and reliable fire safety partner. Safelincs have contributed to enhancing fire safety across Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospital, and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you to the entire Safelincs team for a first-class service.
