Fire buckets are a simple, cost-effective, and highly visible fire safety solution, ideal for use in construction sites, petrol stations, workshops, holiday parks, and residential parks. Designed to be filled with water, sand, or absorbent material, they are perfect for tackling small fires, spillages, or preventing the spread of flammable liquids.
Available in durable plastic or galvanised steel, each fire bucket is lightweight, easy to handle, and supplied with optional lids and wall brackets to keep contents clean and ready for use. With a 2.5-gallon (25lb) capacity, they provide a reliable first-response tool as part of a wider fire safety setup or fire point trolley system.

HOW TO USE
How to Use a Fire Bucket
- Identify the fire type – only use a fire bucket on small, manageable fires such as burning paper, wood, or spillages of flammable liquids.
- Lift the bucket safely – grasp the handle firmly and approach the fire with caution, keeping an escape route behind you.
- Apply contents directly – tip or throw the water, sand, or absorbent material onto the base of the flames.
- Water: For Class A fires (wood, paper, textiles).
- Sand: For flammable liquid spillages or to smother small fires.
- Check for re-ignition – ensure the fire is fully extinguished and cooled before leaving the area.
⚠️ Safety Tip: Never use water-filled fire buckets on electrical fires or burning oils/fats.
DETAILS
Fire Bucket Maintenance
Fire buckets are low-maintenance but must be checked regularly to ensure they are ready for use:
- Monthly Check: Confirm buckets are in place, clearly visible, and mounted securely if using wall brackets or fire point trolleys.
- Contents: Make sure buckets are filled with the correct medium (water, sand, or absorbent) and that it is clean, dry, and free from contamination.
- Condition: Inspect the bucket for cracks, rust, or damage, and replace if necessary. Lids (if fitted) should close properly to keep contents protected.
- After Use: Buckets must be refilled immediately once emptied or partially used.
- Annual Inspection: Include fire buckets in your routine fire safety checks to remain compliant with site safety standards.
Regular checks guarantee that fire buckets remain effective as a fast-response tool in an emergency.
