The Walter Kindle Company first invented the fractional co2 extinguisher in 1924 with the request in the Bell Telephone Company. Bell had been having difficulty locating a dry chemical extinguisher which could effectively extinguish the electrical fires that sometimes broke out on early telephone switchboards. The CO2 proved particularly efficient at controlling electrical fires, in addition to their popularity quickly grew during the entire industrial sector. Friends and colleagues gathered to applaud worthy winners across seven categories – and recognise the creativity and dedication which underpin the whole sector’s contribution to the economy, to society and to customers, staff and stakeholders.
