Fire upgrades

Fire safety is one of the most critical responsibilities for building owners, managers, and strata committees. If your fire systems or safety measures are not compliant with the Building Code of Australia (BCA), you risk the safety of occupants and may face significant financial penalties. At Dapcor, we provide full fire upgrade solutions across Sydney and NSW, ensuring your property is compliant, safe, and prepared.

Wet Fire Systems
Wet fire systems are designed to actively suppress fire using water, gas, or foam. Our team manages installation, upgrades, and compliance for:
• Fire sprinkler, hydrant, and hose reel systems
• Gas and foam suppression systems
• Deluge fire systems
• Fire protection system audits and compliance testing
Dry Fire Systems
Dry fire systems detect and warn of hazards, allowing safe evacuation and early response. Our expertise covers:
• Fire and smoke detection systems
• Portable fire extinguishers and fire blankets
• Smoke detection, alarm, and intercom systems
• Fire protection audits and compliance reporting
• Fire Orders & BCA Non-Compliance
1. What is the difference between wet and dry fire systems?

Wet fire systems actively suppress fires (sprinklers, hydrants, suppression systems), while dry fire systems detect and warn occupants (alarms, smoke detectors, intercoms).

2. Who issues Fire Safety Orders in NSW?

Local councils and Fire and Rescue NSW issue Fire Safety Orders if a building does not meet BCA compliance standards.

3. What happens if my building does not comply with fire safety standards?

You may face financial penalties, increased liability, and most importantly, risk the safety of occupants.

4. Can fire upgrades be carried out while the building is occupied?

Yes. Dapcor specialises in live-site delivery, ensuring minimal disruption for residents and tenants while completing fire upgrade works.

5.How often should fire systems be inspected or maintained?

Regular maintenance is required under NSW legislation. Wet and dry fire systems must be tested and certified at intervals depending on system type. Dapcor provides compliance audits and ongoing support.
