Fire Extinguisher Hire & Event Safety Support
Running an event involves managing many moving parts, and fire safety is one of the most important responsibilities for event organisers. Whether you are planning a festival, exhibition, pop-up event, sporting event, motorcycle rally, or corporate gathering, having the correct fire safety provisions in place is essential for protecting people, property, and your event licence.
At Virtus Fire, we specialise in providing temporary fire safety solutions for events of all sizes, helping organisers meet insurance requirements, satisfy local authority guidance, and ensure their event runs safely and smoothly.

Why Fire Safety Matters for Events
Temporary events often involve additional fire risks such as:
• Temporary structures and marquees
• Food vendors and catering equipment
• Portable generators and electrical installations
• Fuel storage for vehicles or equipment
• High visitor numbers in confined spaces
Local authorities and insurers typically require event organisers to demonstrate that adequate fire safety measures are in place. This includes the provision of appropriate fire extinguishers, clearly marked fire points, and a basic fire response plan.
Working with a professional fire safety provider ensures that these requirements are met without adding unnecessary stress to your event planning

Temporary Fire Points
For larger events or venues with multiple risk areas, we can supply temporary fire point stations.
These clearly visible fire safety stations typically include:

Fire points are commonly positioned around areas such as:
