Install Reliable Fire Hydrants and Hose Reels in Your Business

The two most essential components of a functioning fire hydrant are hose reels and the connection to the water main. If your system has a flaw in either of those two components, you cannot rely on your fire hydrant to function properly in the event of a fire. Brisbane Fire Services can help you with every aspect of an effective fire safety system.

How Much Do You Know about Fire Hydrants

Many business owners are not fully aware of several important facts about fire safety:

  • Both the national government and the government of Queensland have specific regulations related to fire safety. We are deeply familiar with the Australian Standards 1851-2012 fire safety regulations and can help your business comply with them. If you do not comply, the government may penalise your business, and your employees may be at risk.
  • There are specific standards regarding when you should test your fire prevention systems. Conduct a damage inspection on your fire hose and reel in Brisbane once every two months for damage, and once a year for water flow. If you inspect them less frequently than this, you may discover damage and malfunctions only when you need to use the fire hose reel in an emergency.
  • Not every fire can be fought with a water-based fire hose. Some chemical fires, in particular, may be worsened if you introduce water. Therefore, each business should have fire prevention tools that are suited to their risks, including fire hydrants and extinguishers.
