COMPLIANCE WITH AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS

At Fire Nation, our team provides high-quality fire safety services. Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive range of checks during servicing, including:

  • Ensuring the Hose and Reel are in good condition and free from damage.
  • Checking static and dynamic pressure to confirm adequate water supply.
  • Ensuring all connections (e.g., coupling and joints) are  watertight.
  • Verifying that the spray nozzle can be easily opened and
    adjusted.
  • Conducting pressure tests every five years to ensure hoses can withstand operational pressures.

Upon completion of servicing, we issue a maintenance certificate that documents all inspections, and any necessary repairs made.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Fire hose reels should be serviced at least 6 monthly to ensure they are functioning correctly and comply with Australian Standards. Regular servicing helps identify any issues before they become critical.

A failure during an emergency can have serious consequences. Regular servicing minimises this risk by ensuring that all components are in good working order. If you suspect your fire hose reel is not functioning properly, contact us immediately for an inspection.

While you can perform basic visual inspections, servicing must be conducted by qualified technicians for compliance, who are trained to identify potential issues and ensure compliance with safety standards.

If you notice any damage or signs of wear on your fire hose reel, do not use it until it has been inspected by a qualified technician. Contact Fire Nation immediately to schedule a service.
