About Us

We inspect, maintain and install Fire Extinguishers to AS2444 requirements

Our Certified Service Technician can also able to help with AS1851, which is the Australian Standard for Fire Equipment servicing intervals.

Buildings should have an adequate number of fire extinguishers, with reliable escape routes should certain exits get blocked.  All Fire Extinguishers should be visible and in a highly accessible location that has no obstructions.

Most workplaces use Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers, CO2 Fire Extinguishers, Water Fire Extinguishers and Foam Fire Extinguishers.  The 4.5kg ABE High Performance Fire Extinguisher from FCF to go the extra distance.

There are also other fire protection equipment to be considered, such as hose reels, smoke alarms, gas vents, sprinklers, monitoring systems, etc..

We install and test all types of Emergency Exit Lighting to Australian Standard AS2293

We inspect electrical items to AS3760

Making sure your electrical items meet Workplace Health and Safety Regulations is important, and our qualified person can ensure that your business will remain compliant.

Normal testing of RCD’s is performed by two electricians at the switchboard. Even though you have an extra person on site, this test is faster and costs less to complete the legislative requirements than a standard Electrical Test and Tag.

As a member of Master Electricians Australia, FCF are always up to date with any changes and new technology that can even test your RCD’s remotely.

Some states have rules that override the AS3760 standard and allow for RCD testing to take the place of Electrical Test and Tag.

We install and test Smoke Alarms to Australian Standard AS3786

Smoke alarms should be tested every 6 months to make sure they function at a critical lifesaving moment when smoke is detected and to minimise any false alarms.  They should be located in the correct places as to comply with Australian Standard AS3786.

Our models can be connected to the mains supply or with a battery, some lasting 10-years.  Smoke Alarm technology is advancing quickly, and our smart smoke alarms are great value for money.  Using our asset software, we can notify you when your Smoke Alarms are due to be tested or replaced, any show warranties and history of each Smoke Alarm.

Changes in Legislation is consistent and FCF is a founding member of the Smoke Alarm Association. Our participation in being a part of this association allows FCF to be up to date with legislation changes, best practice and more product knowledge.

We install Fire Panels, test and 24/7 fault finding

Fire Detection and Alarm Systems can be complex, with extremely sensitive equipment monitoring buildings and apartment blocks.

AS1670 is the Australian Standard that helps Fire Certifiers design a Fire Detection System for people’s safety. Once the design is completed along with installation and commissioning for the building, AS1851 takes over as the maintenance standard for the system.

Finding a competent service provider can be difficult as it takes years to become a Certifier and even more dedication as you become available 24/7 for faults on systems and false alarms.  To ensure you have the best team, from Certifiers, Installations, and Testers, call FCF. We are happy to take on your Fire Panel issues and get to the bottom of why the system is reporting false data.

We supply and fit Fire Hydrants

When you need to deliver large quantities of water, you need a fire hydrant, and there are different types for different purposes.

Australian building code requires that any building over 500 square meters must contain a Fire Hydrant, and they should only be used by trained officers from the fire brigade.

They commonly consist of two pieces, one above ground and the other below ground, and like other Fire Protection Equipment, fire hydrants need regular maintenance and inspection.

We supply and fit fire doors

Fire Doors are designed to reduce fire spreading between different compartments within a building.

The door and the frame should be air tight and made from fire-resistant materials. They are not always non-combustible, but they are rated by the number of hours they can resist a fire.

Its important that fire doors are fitted correctly and checked regularly for any gaps.

We install sprinkler systems

Fire sprinkler systems can be a good invested to protect your business or home from fire.  There are different types of systems, but they all should be up to Australian Standards AS 2118.

These systems are typically activated by an automatic trigger such as an increase in temperature or a detection from a smoke sensor.  Over 96% of fires have been controlled in buildings which had fire sprinkler systems installed.

All sprinkler systems should meet basic requirements such as a reliable supply of water, working control valves, non-corroded pips and sprinkler heads.

We design, print and install building evacuation diagrams

Its mandatory for all Australian workplaces to have a fire evacuation diagram.  It provides emergency and evacuation information for occupants and visitors.

It should clearly detail exit routes from you current location and assembly areas to comply with Australian Standard 3745-2010.  The layout should include doors, walls, and often external elements with a compass.  Can also include the location of fire equipment such as Fire extinguishers and first aid kits.

Evac diagrams should be displayed on something at least the size of A4 or bigger, between 1200 and 1600mm above the floor where occupants/visitors are able to view them.
