Why warehouses are higher-risk
High stacking, large open volumes and stored goods (some flammable) make warehouses a distinct fire risk that standard office provisions don’t cover.
Typical fire-safety provisions
- Sprinkler systems sized for the storage height and commodity
- Early detection (beam or aspirating for large volumes)
- Fire pumps where the water supply needs boosting
- ABC dry powder and foam extinguishers for mixed and liquid risks
- Hose reels and hydrants for firefighting access

Frequently asked questions
Do all warehouses need sprinklers?
It depends on size, storage height and the goods stored; the requirement is set by the Code and Civil Defence — we assess your site.
Which detection suits a high warehouse?
Beam or aspirating (very-early-warning) detection is well-suited to large, high-ceilinged spaces.
