Marine Fire Safety Equipment
Fire and water don’t mix, particularly on board a boat or ship. At Fire Maintenance Services (NT), we take marine fire safety equipment seriously for marine vessels in Darwin.
We help harbour masters, captains and boat owners ensure the International Marine Organization (IMO) standards for fire equipment, protection, detection and extinguishing are met.
Our fire suppression systems, including fire extinguishers, can be installed during construction as well as easily retrofitted to existing vessels to ensure the safety of crew, passengers and cargo. Vessels we fit include:
- Small boats
- Luxury yachts
- Navy flotillas
- Cruise ships
- Cargo vessels
Fire Maintenance Services (NT) is recognised by the American Bureau of Shipping and is DNV approved to work on survey-class vessels. We also perform hydrostatic pressure testing for all cylinders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should fire safety equipment be serviced or inspected?
Fire safety equipment should be inspected and serviced regularly to ensure it works during an emergency. Extinguishers can lose pressure, hoses can crack and blankets can become damaged over time, especially in harsh environments. Regular checks confirm items are accessible, in good condition, and compliant. Servicing schedules depend on equipment type and site conditions, but routine testing helps reduce risk and improve readiness.
What type of fire extinguisher do I need for my business?
The right fire extinguisher depends on the fire risks present. ABE dry powder suits many general workplace hazards, COâ‚‚ is often used for electrical equipment, foam suits some flammable liquid risks, and wet chemical is designed for cooking oils. Selecting the correct type, size and location is important, as the wrong extinguisher may be ineffective or unsafe.
What is the difference between fire hose reels, fire extinguishers and fire blankets?
Fire extinguishers are designed to put out small fires using the correct extinguishing agent for the hazard type. Fire hose reels provide a continuous water supply and are best for general combustible fires where it’s safe to use water. Fire blankets smother small fires by cutting off oxygen and are common in kitchens. Using the right tool depends on the fire type and situation.

We supply and install fire hose reels in 36-metre and 50-metre lengths to meet or exceed Australian Standard AS1221 requirements.
Fire Blankets
A fire blanket is an essential piece of safety equipment – particularly in kitchens and galleys where hot oil might catch alight. Made from woven glass fibre, these blankets smother flames on cooking equipment and clothing.
