We are your reliable, trusted and professional company when it comes to Fire Fighting Equipment in Uganda
At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we help you prevent fires, detect danger early, and respond fast when seconds matter. We supply, install, and maintain complete fire fighting equipment for homes, shops, schools, hospitals, factories, and farms across Uganda.
Our setups include detection, alarms, suppression, and safe evacuation. You get real protection that fits your space, your budget, and your daily routine.
We supply fire detectors for sensing smoke, heat, or flame and trigger the alarm. Sirens and beacons alert people to move. Extinguishers and hose reels for quick fire-handling. Hydrants and sprinklers used to supply water.
We also have special suppression systems protect kitchens and server rooms, emergency lighting and signage guide everyone to safe exits. When each piece is chosen and installed correctly, you reduce risk, save lives, and protect assets.
At Fern Engineering, you will find water, foam, dry powder, CO₂, and wet chemical extinguishers. We install hose reels, hydrants, sprinkler networks, fire pumps, fire blankets, and fire doors.
We add addressable or conventional fire alarm panels, call points, sirens, strobes, and emergency lights. For high-risk areas, we design kitchen hood suppression and clean agent systems. Everything is sized for Uganda’s conditions and maintained by our local team, paka last.
We size, place, and label portable extinguishers for your risks. Water and foam handle ordinary combustibles. CO₂ protects electrical rooms and server racks. Dry powder works on mixed risks, including fuel. Wet chemical targets kitchen oil fires. We mount units correctly, train your staff, and track refills, so your extinguishers are ready when needed.
We design and install hose reels for fast first response and hydrants for fire brigade use. Our teams size pumps, pipes, and valves to deliver pressure where it matters. We test flow, mark landing valves, and provide maps. In a mall, arcade, or factory, this network supports trained staff and firefighters to control a fire quickly.
Automatic sprinklers control or extinguish fires before they spread. We design zones for retail, warehousing, and production. For kitchens, we install hood suppression that dumps agent directly onto flames. For server rooms, archives, and medical equipment, we offer clean agent systems that stop fire without water damage. Each solution matches the hazard.
We install smoke and heat detectors, manual call points, sirens, and strobes linked to a conventional or addressable control panel. Emergency lights and photoluminescent signs guide safe evacuation during outages. We program zones, test signals, and document results for handover. Your people know what to do, even at night when yaka misbehaves.
We match extinguishers to your risks. Offices often use water or foam for paper and furniture, plus CO₂ for electrical closets. Workshops add dry powder for mixed risks. Kitchens require wet chemical for cooking oil. We walk your site, list hazards, and place the right units at reachable points.
Every extinguisher has limits. Water on an electrical fire is dangerous. Dry powder can soil equipment and reduce visibility. We train your staff to read labels fast and choose correctly. We also mark assembly points and exit routes. With the right mix and smart placement, you get quick and safe first response.
Extinguishers need regular inspection and periodic refilling depending on use and type. We recommend quarterly visual checks and an annual service visit. If you discharge an extinguisher even for a short burst, we refill or replace it. Hoses, pumps, and hydrants need routine pressure tests and lubrication.
Alarm systems also require testing. We check detectors, call points, sirens, and battery backup. We record results, tag devices, and fix faults on the spot when possible. These habits keep your system ready. They also provide the paperwork insurers and landlords expect when they audit safety measures.
Hose reels allow trained staff to apply a steady water stream for smaller fires until help arrives. Hydrants provide a high flow connection for firefighters and large scale response. Sprinklers activate automatically at the fire head, controlling heat and smoke while people evacuate. Each tool plays a different role.
A good design uses them together. Hose reels cover corridors and rooms where a quick attack prevents spread. Hydrants support brigade work in malls, arcades, and factories. Sprinklers buy time by controlling heat before responders reach the seat of the fire. We advise on the right combination for your building.
A panel helps even in small spaces. Detectors and a compact panel provide early warning during the night or when the shop is closed. Sirens alert neighbors and guards. If you store flammables or run fridges and freezers, early detection prevents a big loss before sunrise.
For homes and very small shops, we also offer stand-alone detectors with local sounders. These are affordable and easy to maintain. You can upgrade to a panel later as your space expands. We plan for growth by leaving conduit routes and spare capacity for new zones and devices.
Kitchen hood systems monitor the cooking zone. When a sensor detects a fire, nozzles discharge wet chemical directly onto the oil and the flame. The agent cools and forms a layer that prevents re-ignition. The system also shuts off gas or electricity to the equipment automatically.
These systems protect staff and reduce damage. They are designed for hotels, restaurants, and school kitchens where hot oil and open flames are common. We size nozzles to your specific cookers and fryers, then test and tag the system. Regular checks keep it ready for the next busy lunch rush.
Yes. We deliver practical training that matches your site. We explain common risks, alarm procedures, extinguisher types, and safe use. Staff practice with demo units outdoors. We also guide you on evacuation leadership, roll calls, and how to assist customers, learners, or patients who need help.
We then run a drill, time the response, and review gaps. Small improvements, like clearing aisles or marking exits better, make a big difference. We leave a simple emergency plan and assign roles. With practice, your team reacts quickly without panic, even when the power is off and the compound is full.
You receive a handover pack with equipment lists, tags, test records, and zone maps. For hydrants and pumps, we include flow and pressure test results. For alarms, we add device addresses and a maintenance schedule. Extinguishers carry inspection tags with dates and the next service due.
These documents save time during audits, claims, and renewals. When a landlord, insurer, or KCCA officer asks for proof, you present files immediately. We keep digital copies in case you misplace the originals. Clear records show that you manage safety seriously and help claims move without delay.
Costs depend on size, risk, and building layout. A small office might start with a few extinguishers, a compact alarm, and emergency lights. A factory or mall needs hydrants, pumps, and sprinklers. We survey, then share two or three options with itemized equipment and maintenance plans.
We avoid guesswork. After the site visit, you choose a path that matches your cash flow. We can stage work in phases. Start with extinguishers and alarms, then add hydrants or sprinklers during your next upgrade. You improve safety steadily without stressing the kameeza.
Yes. We size battery backup for alarm panels, sirens, and emergency lighting. Sprinkler and hydrant pumps are tested against your generator capacity. We also protect panels with surge devices. This keeps detection and evacuation active even when the grid is down and the compound is dark.
We label manual call points and provide glow-in-the-dark signage. Staff can find exits and equipment without fumbling. We also train guards to respond during outages. With clear routines and reliable backup, a power cut does not stop your team from acting fast.
We plan to minimize disruption. We start with a survey, agree on routes, and work in phases. For busy shops, we schedule loud tasks early morning or late evening. For offices and schools, we coordinate around classes and meetings. We keep areas tidy and safe as we work.
Timelines vary. Small alarm systems finish in one to two days. Hydrants and pumps take longer due to piping and civil works. Sprinklers depend on ceiling type and access. We test, commission, and train your team before handover. You get contacts for support and a maintenance plan that fits your calendar.
