A fire emergency management plan turns your fire safety equipment into a practised routine: working alarms, clear escape routes and people who know what to do. Australia Fire Protection is based in Thomastown and prepares plans guided by AS3745, the Australian Standard for planning for emergencies in facilities.
Fire accidents are unfortunate. That’s why fire safety precautions should be a major part of the fire safety program in your facility.

A Plan Is Only as Good as the Practice Behind It
A written plan on its own will not get people out of a building. In an emergency, people act on what they have rehearsed, which is the difference between a plan that exists and a plan that works. Rehearsals make exit routes, assembly places and alarm procedures familiar before they are needed, and they show up practical problems, such as a route that is hard to reach or a role nobody has been assigned, while there is still time to fix them. Practice is also how new employees learn the plan, so it is worth repeating whenever your team changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Australia Fire Protection based, and does it service Thomastown businesses?
Our office in Thomastown VIC 3074. We provide fire emergency management plans to businesses of all types and sizes in Thomastown and surrounding suburbs, and we service the Melbourne CBD, North West and inner suburbs.
How often should staff practise a fire emergency management plan?
Regularly. A plan only works if people have rehearsed it, so occupants and employees should practise it on a regular basis and again whenever the building, its layout or its staff change significantly. We provide training and help occupants and employees practise, so everyone knows what to do if a fire occurs.
Who should be on the emergency response team?
The team is made up of people from your workforce who are assigned specific tasks in an emergency, such as using firefighting equipment or turning on the fire alarms. We help you assign these tasks and provide training and advice so each person knows their role.
Where should fire and smoke alarms be installed?
We install smoke alarms, fire safety alarms and firefighting equipment in visible locations. During our inspection we also check that your existing alarms and firefighting equipment are in proper working condition.
Do you train staff who work in high-risk areas?
Yes. Our team offers fire emergency training to staff and employees who work in high-risk areas, so the people closest to the hazards know exactly how to respond.
How do I know my firefighting equipment is working?
We regularly inspect firefighting equipment to make sure it is working, and we review your existing fire safety equipment during the initial inspection so anything that is not in proper working condition is identified.
Why do escape routes have to stay clear?
A route blocked by stock, equipment or rubbish can slow or stop an evacuation when every second counts. Keeping escape routes clear is part of the plan, and our team ensures emergency escape routes are clear.
Are fire emergency management plans only for industrial sites in Thomastown?
No. We provide tailored plans to businesses of all types and sizes in Thomastown and surrounding suburbs, from factories and warehouses to shops, schools and community facilities, each planned around how the site is actually used.
Do you review the plan once it is in place?
Yes. We continuously review emergency plans and offer preventive measures, so the plan keeps pace with changes at your site.
