Fire Extinguishers for Multi-Occupancy and Residential Buildings
Windsor Gardens is close to Klemzig, Greenacres and Hampstead Gardens, and many local buildings are residential. Firechief services multi-occupancy residences, homes and specialised disability accommodation as well as commercial buildings.
Where extinguishers belong in a shared building
- Corridors and stairwells: near exits, where residents will pass them on the way out.
- Laundries and plant rooms: electrical (Class E) risks from dryers, switchboards and pumps.
- Kitchens in shared facilities: cooking oil and fat (Class F) calls for an extinguisher suited to it, plus a fire blanket.
- Car parks and bin areas: fuel and general waste, which ABE covers.
ABE dry chemical extinguishers cover Class A, B and E fires and come in wall-mounted sizes of 2.5 kg to 9 kg. Our hazard chart shows what else a building may need.
Positioning in a building many people use
Because many residents pass the same extinguisher, it should be mounted at the correct handle height, face outwards, have clear space around it and be marked with a location sign. Tamper seals matter more here, since more people can reach them. Our installation guide covers the details, and we also supply first aid kits, signs and emergency exit lights.
Compliance Records for Property Managers and Building Owners
If you manage a building, you are the person who has to show that extinguishers have been looked after. Every Firechief visit follows the same four steps.
- Inspection: each extinguisher is checked for damage, leakage and tampering.
- Testing: each unit is tested to make sure it is fully operational, with the 5-year empty and test carried out when due.
- Tagging: a durable tag records the last inspection date, the next scheduled date and the inspector’s details. See our tagging service.
- Documentation: a certificate of compliance records the inspection details.
What to keep on file
Keep each certificate of compliance, because insurers, owners and regulators may ask for it. Not complying with Australian safety standards compromises the chances of a successful insurance claim in the case of a fire. Firechief also holds $20 million public liability insurance, with a certificate of currency available on request.
A simple monthly walk-through
Between our 6-monthly visits, someone on site can check that each gauge is in the green zone, the pin and tamper seal are intact, and nothing is blocking access. Our monthly visual check lists the checks. See our inspection service for what we inspect at each visit.
