Automatic Fire Alarm Monitoring Service

Airservices Australia’s Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting service (ARFF) provides a range of services at 21 airports around Australia. ARFF Services Aviation Fire Fighters are ready to respond to fires in aircraft and buildings at airports, provide rescue and first-aid services for aircraft passengers and crew, provide technical advice on fire safety and assist in educating users about fire fighting and safety. Our fire fighters have access to a fleet of modern, well equipped and maintained vehicles. When connected to our service, your facility is monitored by our fire fighters who will respond when a fire alarm is activated.

For Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney airports this is a 24 hour, 7 days a week service. At other airports, fire alarms that occur out of operating hours will be still monitored by ARFF but a response will be provided by the local fire services.

We are currently updating the automatic fire alarm equipment installed at our fire stations. This will be a rolling programme to all sites over a period of 24 months commencing in late 2009. The Fire Control Centre upgrade program will supply state-of-the-art digital systems that will interface with the latest fire alarm monitoring infrastructure.
