Mobile fire extinguishers

The philosophy of fire protection is based fundamentally on the prevention of fire by choice of materials and by minimization of inventory of incendiary material. Once a fire occurs (going on in the scenario), the second measure is to prevent the spread of fire by the design of fire sectors and the use of fire-resistant barriers. Thirdly, one has to detect the fire, usually by means of a fire alarm system. Finally, no doubt, one needs organization, staff, and equipment for fire extinguishing by installed and mobile means. 

Ensure that a fire extinguisher is in easy reach of oven and range and is usable by persons with impaired mobility and dexterity.

There is a wide range of firefighting equipment - from the simple hand extinguisher to sophisticated fire-engine type vehicles. Also, a distinction can be drawn between mobile and fixed apparatus.
