Fire Detection Systems
ARA Fire takes pride in offering a comprehensive suite of innovative fire alarm detection solutions that are meticulously engineered to identify fires at their earliest stages, facilitating swift response measures to minimize damage, disruption, and potential harm. Our commitment to fire safety is exemplified by the incorporation of various cutting-edge detection technologies into our systems.
Smoke Detectors: These detectors are designed to sense the presence of smoke particles in the air. They are highly effective in detecting fires that produce smoke, such as smouldering fires. When smoke is detected, these systems trigger audible and visual alarms, providing early warning to occupants and emergency responders.
Thermal Detectors: Thermal detectors are sensitive to changes in temperature and can swiftly identify a rapid rise in heat. They are particularly useful in areas where smoke detectors might produce false alarms, such as kitchens. When a dangerous increase in temperature is detected, thermal detectors activate alarms, aiding in early fire detection.
Aspirating Detectors (VESDA): Aspirating detectors employ a sophisticated sampling system to continually draw in air from the environment and analyse it for the presence of combustion byproducts or particles. This method allows for the detection of fires even before visible smoke or heat is produced, making them highly effective in critical areas where early detection is essential.
EWIS (Emergency Warning and Intercommunication Systems): EWIS systems are designed to integrate fire detection with public address and voice communication capabilities. In the event of a fire, these systems can issue clear and specific voice instructions for evacuation, ensuring occupants understand the situation and can exit safely.
OWS (Occupant Warning Systems): OWS systems are specialized solutions that provide early warning directly to building occupants via mobile apps or other communication devices. This direct communication can be vital in large or complex structures, helping occupants take immediate action during a fire emergency.
Remote Monitoring: ARA Fire collaborates closely with Fire M, a renowned leader in the fire alarm and detection industry, to deliver state-of-the-art remote fire alarm monitoring solutions.
Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinkler systems play a vital role in safeguarding lives and property against the devastating impact of fires. These systems are a critical component of fire safety measures in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings across the country.
One of the key benefits of fire sprinkler systems is their ability to suppress fires quickly and efficiently. By releasing water directly onto the flames, they can control and sometimes extinguish fires before emergency responders arrive, reducing the risk of injuries and property damage.
Installed and maintained by ARA, fire sprinkler systems in Australia are essential tools in the fight against fires, saving lives and property while adhering to strict regulations and standards. Their importance in enhancing fire safety cannot be overstated, making them a fundamental element of the nation’s built environment.
Extinguishers
High-quality fire extinguishers are indispensable components of fire safety protocols, designed not only for effective fire suppression but also for optimal ease of use.
The effectiveness of fire extinguishers relies on their accessibility, and proper installation and placement are paramount.
ARA Fire offers a diverse range of fire extinguisher types, each tailored to combat specific types of fires:
- Water: Ideal for combating fires involving combustible materials like wood, paper, and textiles. Water extinguishers work by cooling and soaking the flames, depriving them of heat.
- Foam: Effective against flammable liquid fires, such as gasoline or oil spills. Foam extinguishers smother the fire and prevent the release of flammable vapors.
- Dry Powder: Suitable for a wide range of fires, including those involving flammable gases and electrical equipment. Dry powder extinguishers work by interrupting the chemical reactions of the fire.
- CO2 (Carbon Dioxide): Designed for fires involving electrical equipment and flammable liquids. CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen, suffocating the fire.
- Wet Chemical: Specifically formulated for kitchen fires involving grease and oil. They cool and suppress the flames and create a barrier to prevent re-ignition.
ARA Fire is committed to enhancing fire safety by delivering high-quality extinguishers and expert guidance on their installation and usage, thereby safeguarding lives and property.
Fire Hydrants: Fire hydrants are critical assets for any community to help local firefighters access the water they need to combat fires effectively. ARA Fire takes pride in maintaining these essential components of fire protection.
Fire Hose Reels: Fire hose reels are your first line of defence against fires in various settings. ARA Fire’s maintenance services cover these crucial assets, ensuring they are fully operational and compliant with regulations. When a fire emergency strikes, you can rely on our expertly maintained fire hose reels to provide immediate firefighting capabilities.
