Hunter Fire & Safety

What Hunter Fire & Safety does

Hunter Fire & Safety is a privately held fire protection services company headquartered in Edgeworth, New South Wales, founded in 2012 to deliver fire safety maintenance, inspection, and certification services across the Hunter Valley and surrounding NSW coastal regions (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Central Coast, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour). The company holds Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety) certification F014974A, a credential held by only about 2% of industry professionals, which authorizes it to issue Annual Fire Safety Statements under NSW regulations.

The firm's service portfolio spans active and passive fire protection: routine maintenance of extinguishers, hose reels, sprinklers, alarms, and fire doors to AS1851; passive fire maintenance covering fire doors, fire-rated walls, seals, and smoke control assemblies to AS4072.1; electrical test-and-tag services; AFSS certification; and construction-phase services including passive fire installation, penetration sealing, hydrant testing, and commissioning. The company also packages trade-specific solutions for builders, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors, addressing fire-stopping requirements around pipe, cable, and duct penetrations in fire-rated assemblies.

Commercially, Hunter Fire & Safety operates a field-service B2B model delivered by accredited technicians directly at customer premises, combining recurring maintenance subscriptions with one-off project work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the go-to-market relies on local SEO, organic social presence, and direct phone-based sales. The company is independently owned, with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or M&A activity, and currently operates with a headcount in the 1–10 range.
