Portable Fire Equipment
Gold Coast Fire Protection offers a comprehensive range of portable fire equipment to suit all types of classes of fires. We also service and maintain portable fire extinguishers, fire hose reels and fire hydrants in accordance with the Australian Standards (AS1851).
There are several steps to selecting the appropriate portable fire extinguishers that your property may need:
- Conduct a fire risk assessment to determine what types of fires are most likely to occur at your location and where they could occur.
- Along with the types of extinguishers to purchase, decide on the number of extinguishers that would adequately protect your buildings.
- Confirm the fire extinguishers conform to the Australian Standards.
- Review the maintenance for the fire extinguishers and establish an appropriate inspection and maintenance schedule to keep the devices working properly.
- Become educated on the operation of all fire extinguishers and train employees so they know how to respond to any type of fire.
Installing portable fire extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers should be located in a conspicuous area with an obviously noticeable sign to identify the location of the extinguisher. Hallways, stairway entrances and other locations can be ideal for fire extinguishers, and should be convenient to access for areas with the highest fire risk.
Maintenance of portable fire extinguishers
Maintenance requirements for portable fire extinguishers are specified in the Australian Standards with 6 monthly, annually and fire yearly servicing required.
Gold Coast Fire Protection have experts on hand ready to assist you in choosing the appropriate fire extinguisher, and maintenance services - just give us a call on 1300 GC FIRE.
