Fire Management

The Body Corporate for Admiralty Quays takes the risk of fire seriously. The safety of residents are paramount. For this purpose Admiralty Quays have a comprehensive Fire Management Plan.

All fire fighting equipment are maintained to a high standard by Spectrum Fire.

In case of a fire there are several Fire Wardens who will ensure residents are safely evacuated from the building.

For your own safety please read the Fire Management Plan below. It is good practice to read the Fire Management Plan every twelve months to ensure you are up to date with the latest procedures and know what to do when a fire occurs.

When you receive visitors, ensure they know how to evacuate the building in case of an emergency. Evacuation diagrams are located on each floor. A copy of the typical evacuation diagram can be viewed here>>

Please do not be complacent about the risk of fire. There are lots and lots of information available to educate yourself about the risk of fire and the use of firefighting equipment.
