Fire Extinguishers – Supply, Service & Training
Fire extinguishers are one of the most effective first lines of defence against fire, helping to control small incidents before they escalate into life-threatening emergencies. At FCF Fire & Electrical, we supply, install, and maintain fire extinguishers for businesses, strata properties, government organisations, and homes. Whether you need a single extinguisher for a small office or a fully equipped system for a commercial site, we’ll ensure your equipment is compliant, reliable, and easy to use in an emergency.
Compliance You Can Trust
In Australia, fire extinguishers must be installed, tested, and serviced in accordance with AS2444: Portable Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blankets -Selection and Location. Our qualified technicians carry out all work to this standard, giving you peace of mind that your equipment meets strict compliance requirements. We also perform scheduled inspections, recharging, and pressure testing to ensure extinguishers remain in working condition.

FAQs
How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?
Under AS 1851, portable extinguishers in commercial premises must be inspected
every 6 months, with additional tests (e.g., pressure testing & refills typically at 5
years). We provide tagging, defect rectification and compliance reporting to support
your Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) in NSW.
How long do fire extinguishers last?
Most fire extinguishers have a service life of around five years, after which they may require pressure testing, recharging, or replacement depending on the type and condition. We can assess and advise on the most cost-effective option for your business.
What types of fire extinguishers are there?
There are several types designed for different fire classes, including Water (ABE), CO₂, Foam, Wet Chemical, and Dry Powder extinguishers. Our team can help identify the correct type and placement based on your workplace risks and fire safety plan.
Where should fire extinguishers be located?
Extinguishers must be readily accessible and clearly visible, usually mounted along normal exit paths and within 20 metres of potential fire hazards. We can perform a site assessment to ensure your layout meets Australian Standard AS 2444 placement requirements.
Can I service or inspect extinguishers myself?
No. Servicing and testing must be done by a competent, licensed fire technician. DIY checks can lead to non-compliance and safety risks. FCF Fire & Electrical Sydney’s trained professionals handle all inspection, testing, and certification for peace of mind.
