Fire Extinguishers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all buildings must be equipped with fire extinguishers, as Class A fire risks are typically present in most premises.
Fire extinguishers should be provided to address potential hazards and support safe evacuation, based on the fire risk assessment or guidance from a competent person. Vanquish Fire can supply, install, and maintain all necessary equipment.
Extinguishers come in different types for various fire hazards, including water, CO₂, foam, dry powder, and wet chemical, and all provided by Vanquish Fire comply with BS5306-3:2009 and BS5306-8:2012.
To remain compliant with BS 5306, all extinguishers must be serviced annually. Vanquish Fire offers ongoing maintenance, keeping equipment safe and operational while providing an up-to-date inventory detailing locations, types, and expiry dates.
Customers are also responsible for monthly checks, recording any issues in the site Fire Logbook and reporting them to Vanquish Fire, helping to extend equipment life, maintain safety, and reduce costs.

Fire Risk Assessments
All businesses in the UK must comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), which requires a designated Responsible Person to oversee fire safety within the premises. Their role is to identify potential fire hazards and manage risks to employees, visitors, and customers.
Legally, you are responsible for ensuring your business and staff are protected from fire risks. This responsibility applies if you are an employer, owner, landlord, occupier, facilities manager, building manager, or managing agent.
A Fire Risk Assessment reviews hazards and risks, identifies escape routes and exits, checks firefighting equipment, fire alarms, safe storage of hazardous materials, and considers the needs of occupants. All findings must be documented along with an emergency evacuation plan for staff and visitors. These documents should be regularly updated to reflect changes in building layout, use, or personnel.
Vanquish Fire provides Fire Risk Assessors in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and surrounding areas to help businesses stay compliant and safe.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is legally required for all commercial premises, and the Responsible Person must ensure compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO).
Vanquish Fire can install, service, maintain, and repair emergency lighting to guarantee that exits and escape routes remain fully illuminated during a power failure, ensuring safe evacuation.
Proper emergency lighting also highlights fire safety signs above doors, along escape routes, and near equipment such as manual call points and fire extinguishers, providing clear instructions for use in an emergency.
Vanquish Fire can also supply and install photoluminescent signage that meets current standards, clearly indicating escape routes, fire door requirements, correct use of fire equipment, and other mandatory safety warnings.
