A fire emergency management plan sets out how a fire will be fought, how people will get out safely, and what happens afterwards. For Campbellfield’s factories, warehouses and workshops, AFP Groups build the plan around your site’s actual layout and risks, guided by AS3745, the Australian Standard for planning for emergencies in facilities.
Want to keep your property safe? You should have a fire emergency management plan for your business facility. To stay safe, contact our fire safety assessors at Australia Fire Protection.

With structured and detailed guidance from our team, you can be confident that the ongoing fire safety management of your premises will stay at the very highest standard.
Planning for Campbellfield’s Industrial Estates
Campbellfield is a mixed residential and industrial suburb in the City of Hume, with factories, warehouses and workshops concentrated in Industrial 1 zoned estates around the Hume Highway and Sydney Road. Many of these sites are made up of several units, and some include work areas such as spray booths, cranes and storage yards. That is why we start with an inspection of your actual site and build the plan around what we find, rather than handing you a generic document.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a fire emergency management plan cover for a factory or workshop in Campbellfield?
It should cover how a fire will be fought, the escape routes, evacuation plans and assembly places, safety measures for high-risk areas, plans for dealing with the situation after a fire, and how every possible source of ignition will be shut down. AFP Groups builds each of these around an inspection of your actual site.
Why do high-risk areas need their own safety measures?
High-risk areas are the parts of a site where a fire is most likely to start or spread, or where people would be hardest to evacuate. Giving them specific safety measures, rather than treating the whole building the same way, means the people working there know exactly what to do and the equipment is matched to the hazard.
What is a post-incident plan?
A post-incident plan sets out what happens once the fire is under control, so the site can be made safe, people can be accounted for and the business can recover in an organised way instead of improvising. It is one of the elements included in our Campbellfield plans.
Why does the plan include shutting down sources of ignition?
Removing or isolating ignition sources, such as electrical equipment or hot work, helps stop a fire from restarting or spreading while it is being dealt with. Your plan sets out which sources need to be shut down so the step is not missed in an emergency.
Does a single small unit in a Campbellfield business park need a plan?
Yes. Fire can start in a small unit as easily as in a large factory, and the people inside still need to know the way out. We provide tailored plans for businesses of all types and sizes, so a small unit gets a plan sized to its own layout and risks.
What should I do if my site layout or processes change?
Ask for the plan to be reviewed. A new machine, a moved wall, a change in how goods are stored or a new work area can all affect escape routes, high-risk areas and ignition sources. Our follow-up inspections and ongoing review of fire safety standards at your premises help keep the plan matched to how the site really operates.
Can AFP Groups supply and install fire safety equipment as well as prepare the plan?
Yes. We inspect all existing fire safety equipment and replace it or install new equipment if needed, and we provide separate maintenance for fire alarms, fire extinguishers and fire safety tools.
