Canberra Fire Protection

What Canberra Fire Protection does

Canberra Fire Protection is a regional fire safety services company headquartered in Hume, ACT, operating across the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales under a coverage area spanning from North Sydney to Eden, including Canberra, Yass, Goulburn, Wollongong, and the South Coast. The company supplies, installs, tests, and maintains commercial-grade fire protection equipment — portable extinguishers, hose reels, hydrant systems, exit and emergency lighting, smoke alarms, fire doors, detection systems with Fire Indicator Panels, sprinkler systems, fire pumps, water storage tanks, and passive fire systems — alongside special hazard suppression (ANSUL R-102 kitchen systems, gaseous FM-200/Novec/Inergen, aerosol, and water mist). Service modules include routine AS1851 servicing, Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) certification under Part 12 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021, 24/7 emergency callouts, AS3745 emergency evacuation plans, fire warden and extinguisher training, and STRA short-term rental fire safety compliance. The business holds an Extinguishing Agent Handling Licence (EAHL), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, and operates an online client portal for 24/7 report and asset access.

The company was acquired by FSP Co Pty Ltd (Fire Service Plus), a family-owned Australian fire services operator established in 1994, on 29 September 2025, with Teagan Grace assuming the Director role. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time hardware supply/installation, recurring maintenance contracts under AS1851 frequencies, annual AFSS certification fees, premium-priced 24/7 emergency callouts, and training services — all priced via custom quotes per site. Customer segments span commercial buildings, property managers, industrial and manufacturing facilities, strata and multi-residential buildings, healthcare and aged care, data centres, commercial kitchens, government/public buildings, and STRA hosts. The go-to-market is field-sales driven via phone (02 6260 2070), website contact forms, a Calendly-based strata booking link, and a 24/7 emergency line (1800 650 180), with five offices providing regional service density across NSW and ACT.

Regional players

• Fire Safe ANZ: Australia/NZ fire equipment supplier and service provider covering extinguishers, blankets, hose reels, and cabinetry. Comparable products and services though oriented more toward equipment distribution with lighter recurring-service depth.

Direct peers

• Fire Shield Services: Australian fire protection services company specialising in fire extinguishers, hose reels, blankets, and AS1851 routine servicing. Comparable as a compliance-driven recurring service model for commercial and industrial clients, often overlapping in customer segments.
• Hydrant Services Australia: Specialist provider of fire hydrant, sprinkler, and pump inspection, testing, and maintenance services across Australia. Directly comparable as a niche fire water-based systems contractor with AS1851 inspection focus and similar compliance-driven recurring revenue.
• Pyrotech Fire Solutions: Australian fire protection contractor delivering installation, servicing, and maintenance of detection, sprinkler, and suppression systems. Comparable mid-sized specialist with similar product breadth across active and passive fire systems.
• Detection Group Australia: Australian specialist in fire detection and alarm system design, installation, and servicing. Directly comparable as a regional fire systems specialist focused on AS1851 servicing, AFSS certification, and compliance-driven recurring revenue across commercial and industrial customers.
• Pacific Fire and Security: NSW/ACT-focused fire protection and security services provider offering extinguishers, sprinklers, detection, alarms, and emergency lighting servicing. Closely comparable as a similarly-sized regional player competing in the same geographic and customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• Chubb Fire & Security: One of Australia's largest fire protection and security services providers, part of API Group. Directly comparable service lines (extinguishers, sprinklers, alarms, special hazard, monitoring) but operates nationally with broader security integration; represents the dominant incumbent against which mid-sized regional operators compete.
• Wormald (Tyco/Johnson Controls): Long-established Australian fire protection services brand under Johnson Controls, offering design, installation, servicing, and monitoring of fire detection, suppression, and sprinkler systems. Comparable service portfolio at national scale with deeper enterprise/government penetration.
