About Fire Equipment

Small house fires can quickly get out of control, so every home should have basic firefighting equipment within easy reach.

  • Ensure your house has a properly maintained fire extinguisher and fire blanket, and know how to use them. Look for products that meet the Australian Standard AS 2444
  • It's a good idea to keep these in the kitchen as this is where most house fires start
  • If the fire is small and localised and it is safe to do so, extinguish it using the fire blanket or fire extinguisher
  • These are available from hardware shops and many supermarkets, or can be ordered from CFA's Fire Equipment Maintenance Department. Go to www.fem.cfa.vic.gov.au for more information.

Find the Your Home Fire Safety brochure in the Home Safety page of the Publications section.
