We wanted to say "curated list of products" but the guys in our office said the word "curated" was too fancy so we chose "hand picked" instead!

If you look for fire extinguisher in your favorite search engine, you will find plenty of options, and if you're like us, you really want to know you have selected the best product to suit your family needs.

To help, we created a curated hand picked list of products that we use in our own homes.

We drew on our years of experience and knowledge of the fire protection industry to draw up a list of criteria that we used to select each product available from our online store;

  • Quality & reliability
  • Australian Standard AS1841 compliance
  • Value for money
  • Usage & mounting options
  • Size and capacity
  • Brand reputation, warranty & support
  • Appearance

So if your searching around the internet looking for the right fire safety product for your family, home, caravan, car, and boat then we believe we have the right combination of products for you.

All of our products offer a comprehensive three year warranty and come complete with access to our FREE online training, support and maintenance library.
