How Many Fire Extinguishers Are Required on a Business Premise?
The ultimate answer to “how many fire extinguishers does my building need” is: It depends.
Factors that determine the fire extinguisher requirements include:
Size and layout of the room: a basic rule is that there should be no more than 75 feet between fire extinguishers and that they should be accessible. Naturally, then, the square footage contained in a building and its layout will determine the number needed.
Fire hazard level of the building: public buildings are evaluated and assigned a fire hazard level based on their purpose and what they contain: light fire hazard, ordinary fire hazard, extra fire hazard, and commercial kitchens.
Stairwells: in multistory structures, a minimum of one fire extinguisher must be placed adjacent to the stairway.

How many fire wardens do I need?
The amount of fire wardens necessary for your property depends on a number of factors: the number of floors, the number of staff, the type of workplace and the layout of the property. These factors combined will determine the level of risk in your property – low, medium or high.
For low risk properties, you should have one warden for every 50 people. For medium and high risk premises, you should have one warden for every 20 and 15 people respectively. You can find out about the duties of a fire warden here.
