Fire Extinguishers – Supply, Service & Training
Fire extinguishers are an essential first response tool, helping prevent small fires from escalating into dangerous situations. At FCF Fire & Electrical Fraser Coast, we supply, install, and maintain extinguishers for all types of properties, from homes and offices to industrial sites, government buildings, and strata complexes. Whether you need one extinguisher or a full site-wide setup, we ensure every unit is correctly fitted, fully compliant, and ready to perform when you need it most.
Compliance You Can Trust
Fire extinguishers must comply with AS2444, the Australian Standard that sets the rules for correct selection, positioning, and maintenance of extinguishers and fire blankets. Our qualified technicians follow these requirements carefully to ensure your property stays compliant and well-protected. We also handle all ongoing servicing, including routine inspections, recharging, and pressure testing, to keep your equipment in top working condition and ready for use at any time.

FAQs
How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?
AS 1851 requires portable fire extinguishers in commercial buildings to be inspected every six months, with pressure testing and refills typically due every five years. Our Fraser Coast team handles all required servicing, including inspections, tagging, repairs, and comprehensive compliance reporting, to ensure you meet all Queensland fire safety obligations.
How long do fire extinguishers last?
Most fire extinguishers remain effective for around five years before they require pressure testing, refilling, or full replacement, depending on their type and overall condition. Our technicians can assess your equipment and advise the most practical and cost-effective option for keeping your site compliant and protected.
What types of fire extinguishers are there?
Different fire risks call for different extinguisher types, including Water, CO₂, Foam, Wet Chemical, and Dry Powder options. Our qualified team can review your site and identify the most suitable extinguisher types and placement to match your specific hazards and fire safety requirements.
Where should fire extinguishers be located?
Fire extinguishers must be clearly visible and easy to reach, usually positioned along key exit paths and within 20 metres of any identified fire risk. Our team can complete a thorough site assessment to ensure your extinguisher locations comply with AS 2444 and provide safe, effective access in an emergency.
Can I service or inspect extinguishers myself?
No, fire extinguisher servicing must only be performed by a licensed and qualified fire technician. DIY inspections can lead to non-compliance and significant safety risks. FCF Fire & Electrical Fraser Coast’s trained professionals handle all testing, inspections, and certification to ensure your property remains safe and fully compliant.
