Classes of Fire

Fires involve common carbonaceous solids such as: wood, paper, cloth,rubber and plastics	Fires involve flammable and combustible liquids, such as petrol, kerosene, oil, tar, paint and wax	Fires involve combustible gases, such as LPG	Fires involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, aluminium, sodium and potassium	Fires involving energised electrical equipment (electrical equipment connected to an electrical supply which has current running through it	Fires involve cooking oils and fats

 Fire blankets and smoke alarms also require servicing, the servicing is quite simple, but the peace of mind of having
 an experienced firefighter check the blanket is folded correctly or the smoke alarm is working properly is well worth it.

 Fire hose reels  - your main line of defence against a fire, these items require regular checking and servicing. When 
 you want them to work, you want them to work. We will provide 6 monthly checks along with tests to ensure the fire
 hose reels will work as expected.

 Fire hydrants and layflat hose - Fire hydrants are very common in business premises, some are also fitted with 
 fire hose in cabinets. Fire hose is very susceptible to rotting, being made of canvas with a rubber lining. Regular 
 testing is required to ensure its integrity, and adequate drying and restowing is essential for its long life. 

 It doesn't matter what brand of equipment or what age the equipment is. We can either service it, or replace it with a 
 comparable item, quickly and efficiently.

 We aim is to create a safer community, one way we can do this is to ensure that all fire equipment installed in 
 businesses or houses are tested and maintained as required by the relevant Australian Standard. This will give 
 Victorians the best possible chance of reducing the consequence of fire in their home or business.
