🧯🔒 Room-Integrity Testing for Clean-Agent Suppression Systems 🔥⏱️

Will Your Clean-Agent System Hold the Agent Long Enough to Do Its Job?

Clean-agent suppression depends on the protected room holding the agent for its required period of time, long enough to cool hot spots and prevent re-ignition. Gaps around doors, cable penetrations, or ceiling voids can let the agent escape in seconds.

Why room-integrity testing matters:

✅ Required under AS ISO 14520 & AS 1851 for data centres, switch rooms, archives and battery enclosures
✅ Door-fan tests calculate retention time and pinpoint leakage paths without discharging agent
✅ Repairs to seals and penetrations are cheaper than an accidental clean-agent release, or a fire that reignites

Keep your clean-agent system compliant and effective. Book a room-integrity test with Fire Systems Queensland and rest easy knowing your critical assets are truly protected.

FACT: Blocked Fire Hydrant Systems Are a Hidden Risk

🚒🌳 FACT: Vegetation and Debris Blocking Fire Hydrants Can Cost Lives! 🔥🛑

Overgrown vegetation, debris, or parked vehicles obstructing fire hydrants can delay firefighting efforts significantly during an emergency, resulting in catastrophic damage and safety hazards.

Why hydrant clearance matters:

QLD Fire and Emergency Services require clear hydrant access of a 1 meter radius (AS 2419.1 compliance).

Rapid hydrant access significantly reduces fire damage and enhances firefighter safety.
Regular inspections and vegetation control are essential.

Don't let hidden obstacles put your property at risk. Ensure clear hydrant access—contact FSQ for an inspection and compliance check today.

MYTH: "Concrete Buildings Don’t Need Fire Protection"

🏢🔥 MYTH BUSTED: Concrete Buildings ARE NOT Fireproof! 🚨🧯

Many assume concrete structures are inherently fireproof. While concrete does have fire-resistant properties, it can degrade, spall, and lose structural integrity under extreme heat.

Facts you need to know:
✅ Concrete loses structural strength when exposed to high temperatures
✅ Reinforced steel within concrete can expand, causing dangerous structural damage
✅ Fire protection measures like intumescent coatings and sprinklers are crucial even in concrete buildings

Ensure your building is truly fire-safe, no matter the material. FSQ provides tailored solutions for all commercial properties.
