Our systematic approach leverages Australian Standard AS1851 and builds upon it to deliver competent and reliable fire protection maintenance.</p> 257 258<p class="intro">With a history in fire protection, our story began in the middle of 2001 where our first order was to replace an occupant warning system in a nursing home. From there, things grew quickly and by the end of the year, we had been engaged by Victoria's largest healthcare network to take responsibility of their fire protection maintenance.</p> 259 260<p>Over the next 5 years our reputation grew in the health care sector to arguably become Victoria's largest provider of fire protection maintenance in the public healthcare sector.</p> 261 262<p>During our early growth we identified industry problems that needed to be fixed in order for us to be confident that the routine servicing of fire protection systems and equipment was being performed reliably and competently.</p> 263 264<p>The most common issue (which still exists today throughout the fire protection industry) is the poor knowledge of <a href="/as1851">Australian Standard AS1851</a> and its application in buildings.</p> 265 266<p>To address this, we began by developing a thorough knowledge of the Standard and its requirements. This forced us to redesign the standard industry fire system maintenance logbooks to align our actions with both the activities set out in the Standard and the intent of the Standard.</p> 267 268<p>
268Since we began our logbook journey our fire detection & alarm system logbook has been through 45 revisions alone, making sure we are constantly at the forefront of changes in the Standard and societies expectations.</p> 269 270 </div> 271 </div> 272</div> 273 274<div class="paragraph bg-transparent"> 275 <div class="paragraph-container py-4 text-left container"> 276 <h2>Our 1397+ customers span Melbourne and Victoria!</h2> 277 <div 278 class="text-left row justify-content-center image-position-right flex-row-reverse"> 279 <div class="col-12 col-md-4 my-3 field-image"> 280 <img width="860" height="860" alt="Customer Distribution 1991-2020 CBD" loading="lazy" data-src="/sites/default/files/styles/max_1300x1300/public/2020-12/customers_860x.webp?itok=u66w3XEg" class="lazy image-style-max-1300x1300" /> 281 282 283 </div> 284 <div class="col-12 col-md-8 my-3 field-description"> 285 <p>Over the 20 or so years of business, our customers span a range of industries from aviation, hospitals, nursing homes, large (big box) retail, shopping centres, office towers, medical research, manufacturing, logistics, education, petrochemical, marine, distribution & warehousing.</p> 286 287<p>Our customers span the Melbourne metropolitan area and throughout Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales.</p> 288 289<p>Given we are based in Melbourne, our largest concentration of customers is of course Melbourne, as shown on the map on your right.</p> 290 291<p>Internally, we have a comprehensive training facility for the continuing professional development of our team members.

The list is long, but here are a few highlights;</p> 310 311<ol> 312 <li>Firewize introduced the maintenance label to fire, smoke and exit door maintenance. This innovation was then adopted into Australian Standard AS1851:2012.</li> 313 <li>All of our logbooks are regularly amended, updated and revised hundreds of times since they were first introduced in 2002. Our logbooks have been so successful, that our lawyers have had to defend our intellectual property from unscrupulous copy-cats.</li> 314 <li>We introduced QR codes as a form of asset identification in 2008. Today QR codes are a socially understood medium that has a wide range of applications.</li> 315 <li>We began measuring and recording the impedance and sound pressure levels within emergency warning systems and occupant warning systems. This arose because we found contractors extending these systems and overloading amplifiers. This innovation was also shared with the industry via our direct contribution to Australian Standard AS1851:2012.</li> 316 <li>We introduced the Apple iPad to our workforce as a data collection and report writing. In 2018 we expanded our iPad program and provided all Firewize employees with the opportunity to receive an iPad fully funded by the company. </li> 317</ol> 318 319<p>We love innovating (it's the shiny object we love to play with). Its also a way for us to differentiate ourselves in the market and demonstrate our love for what we do.</p> 320 321 </div> 322 </div> 323 </div> 324</div> 325 326<div class="paragraph bg-transparent"> 327 <div class="paragraph-container py-4 text-left container"> 328 <h2>Where to from here...</h2> 329 <div class="text-left"> 330 <p>We have a couple of secret (garage) projects on the go for launch in 2021.
330 These projects are set to revolutionise the fire protection industry in Australia, and we are really excited to be working on them. While they are a secret, we can say they complement our existing services and deliver new solutions to old problems.</p> 331 332<p>We are also working hard in the background, lobbing the Fire Protection Association and in turn Standards Australia to start work on a new edition of <a href="/as1851/2012/">Australian Standard AS 1851</a>. On this subject, our research suggests there are a lot of improvements to the technical content and structure of the Standard that deserves to be improved.</p> 333 334<p>While we are on the subject of FPA Australia, our CEO, Russ Porteous is back serving as a Director (and Vice President) of the Association. In this capacity, Russ is bring his 30+ years of experience to assist our industry from a strategic, governance and technical perspective. Russ' term began in November 2019 and is for three years.</p> 335 336<p>In summary, we continue to invest in our people, systems and technology to deliver competent and reliable fire protection maintenance to our customers across Melbourne and Victoria.</p> 337 338 </div> 339 </div> 340</div> 341 342 343 344<div class="container py-4"> 345 <section> 346 <div class="region region-content-bottom"> 347 <div id="block-firewize-theme-footnotesgroup" class="block block-footnotes block-footnotes-group"> 348 349 350 <ul class="footnotes" id="footnotes_group"></ul> 351</div> 352<div id="block-acknowledgementofcountry" class="block block-block-content block-block-content-d538f8cc-1773-4727-bc8b-d5c0710acac9"> 353 354 <h3>Acknowledgement of country</h3> 355 356 357 <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="float-left" style="padding-right: 1em;"> 358<div data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_thumbnail" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{"image_style":"max_height_80px","image_link":""}" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="006837a6-4d1a-4a0c-b3f1-945e1f17a52e" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <img loading="lazy" width="133" height="80" alt="Australian Aboriginal Flag" data-src="/sites/default/files/styles/max_height_80px/public/2022-04/Australian_Aboriginal_Flag-200x120.webp?itok=xEYPTcT8" class="lazy image-style-max-height-80px"> 359 360 361</div> 362 363</div> 364 365<p style="font-size:0.75em;">Firewize acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
