Extinguisher Alarms
Designed to aid in the event of unauthorised use or misuse of fire extinguishers, these sturdy, tamperproof and self-contained alarms help protect life safety equipment against theft, vandalism and unwanted movement. The protected extinguisher, AED or evacuation chair remains fully accessible in a real emergency and the alarm does not interfere with legitimate use.
What This Product Group Covers
Extinguisher alarms are used to protect portable fire extinguishers and other life safety devices from theft, misuse or vandalism. In buildings where extinguishers are frequently removed, tampered with or used improperly, these alarm devices create a simple but effective deterrent by combining visible warning signage with an audible alarm when the protected item is moved from its normal position.
The FUMARO page makes it clear that the same type of product can also be used to protect AEDs, evacuation chairs and other important emergency equipment. This makes the category broader than extinguisher protection alone and positions it as a practical solution for safeguarding life safety equipment in offices, warehouses, public buildings and commercial facilities.

If the protected device is moved from its normal position, the alarm emits a piercing warning. The unit also uses a highly visible stop sign style graphic and warning text to discourage wrongful use.
