Fire Australia 2026 & New Site Map Portal

This Week

This week we attended Fire Australia 2026 in Melbourne. Below is a recap from the event, along with an introduction to a new type of portal we’ve recently launched.

Fire Australia 2026

​Fire Australia 2026 was held at the Melbourne Conference and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), a venue spanning more than 70,000 square metres of event space. During the conference, several other events were taking place simultaneously—including a national HVAC exhibition, regional conferences, and graduation ceremonies—yet the scale of the venue meant each event operated seamlessly without overlap.

The conference featured a trade show with over 90 exhibitors, alongside a comprehensive program of educational sessions. This year, sessions were delivered across six streams, covering topics such as fire engineering, regulatory frameworks, current industry challenges, and emerging areas like AI adoption and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

While in Melbourne, we also met with several of our customers who are based locally and manage commercial property portfolios in New Zealand.

We’ve included a selection of photos from the event below.

Site Map Portal

​We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new Site Map Portal. This tool provides a real-time, graphical overview of fire alarm system status across a geographic site—such as a hospital, campus, or industrial facility.

In addition to live system monitoring, the portal delivers an audible alert in the event of a fire, which continues until the alarm is acknowledged. This feature is particularly valuable for sites that require on-the-ground response actions before emergency services arrive.

The portal has been developed in collaboration with customers who need both immediate fire service dispatch (which we continue to handle as standard) and coordinated internal response procedures.

We’ll share more details in our next newsletter, including screenshots and a video demonstration of the portal in action.

Auckland Monitoring Equipment Spares

As regular readers will know, we maintain a full inventory of monitoring equipment spares at our Auckland office. Anastasia captured a short video of our latest shipment arriving—take a look by clicking on the image below.

Out and About

Over the next two weeks, our team will be in Wellington and Hamilton, alongside our teams in Auckland and Christchurch.

If you’d like to meet, ask questions, or arrange a demo, feel free to get in touch.
