Fire extinguisher requirements in Melbourne help building owners understand the placement, coverage and maintenance of extinguishers within their properties. Guidance documents can also help determine whether the number and location of extinguishers are appropriate for the building.
During a routine building inspection, the local MFB station officer said GL16 is the main document they use. This document helps the MFB determine the layout of fire extinguishers.
Regular fire extinguisher maintenance helps ensure equipment remains accessible, serviceable and ready for use. Melfire provides fire extinguisher servicing, testing, refilling and replacement across Melbourne.
I recommend that when considering whether your building has enough fire extinguishers you consider the MFB Guidelines GL16. For questions about fire extinguisher maintenance or sales in Melbourne, call our friendly team at 1300 134 971.
