Fire suppression systems are life-saving essentials for your Darwin workplace. At Fire Maintenance Services (NT), we provide fire equipment servicing for the maritime and mining industries to ensure their safety gear is ready to work when needed.
It’s important to remember you must be able to demonstrate a regular inspection program to satisfy legislative and insurance requirements.
Our testing, service and maintenance program is conducted to Australian Standards 1851-2012 and will be done every six months. We visually inspect all aspects of your fire suppression system as well as perform:

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?
Fire extinguishers should be checked and serviced regularly to make sure they stay compliant and ready to use in an emergency. Maintenance may include inspecting pressure, condition, seals, signage, mounting brackets and service tags. Frequency can depend on the extinguisher type, workplace risk level and environmental conditions, but routine servicing helps prevent failures and supports workplace safety obligations.
What does fire equipment servicing include?
Fire equipment servicing usually includes inspecting the condition, accessibility and performance of safety items such as extinguishers, hose reels, blankets, alarms and suppression systems. Common checks involve looking for damage, corrosion, pressure loss, leaks, blocked access and correct placement. Servicing may also include testing, updating records and replacing parts when required to ensure equipment remains functional and compliant.
Do fire hose reels need to be tested and maintained?
Yes, fire hose reels should be tested and maintained to ensure they operate correctly during an emergency. Maintenance typically checks that the hose unwinds smoothly, water flow is adequate, fittings are secure and the nozzle works properly. Hoses can deteriorate over time due to age, heat or exposure to harsh conditions, so regular servicing helps reduce failure risk and maintain safety compliance.
