Fire Extinguishers

Your First Line of Defence

A potential fire can often be controlled before it really takes hold, if the right fire equipment is close at hand. Wormald offers a range of portable fire extinguishers to suit all types and classes of fires.

With locations around New Zealand and one of New Zealand’s largest teams of portable fire equipment technicians, we are also there to help you with selecting the correct fire extinguisher, installation, training and servicing.
