Fire safety is an essential element in every stage of property design, construction, and management. In a vast and diverse region like Queensland, buildings face a wide range of fire risks due to differing climates, building types, and local regulations. That’s why working with qualified fire engineers Queensland is not just recommended—it’s necessary.
At Fyrewise, we are proud to be a Queensland-based fire engineering consultancy offering expert fire protection services tailored to local needs. From Brisbane to regional centres, our team is committed to delivering safe, compliant, and practical fire safety solutions for all types of projects.
Why Fire Engineering Matters in Queensland
Queensland’s unique geography and built environment present several fire safety challenges. From dense city centres and industrial hubs to rural developments and coastal communities, every location brings its own risks.
-
Tropical and dry climates in parts of the state increase the potential for bushfires and high-temperature fire behaviour.
-
High-density urban areas such as Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Townsville require advanced fire strategies for residential towers, commercial precincts, and public infrastructure.
-
Remote and regional areas often lack immediate emergency services access, making prevention and planning even more critical.
-
Heritage-listed sites and older structures require careful fire safety upgrades to meet current standards while preserving historical value.
Fire engineers play a vital role in managing these risks by applying science-based methods, risk assessments, and engineering expertise to design systems that protect both lives and assets.
What Fire Engineers Do
Fire engineers are trained professionals who apply engineering principles to the design, analysis, and implementation of fire safety systems. Their work includes:
-
Designing fire detection and suppression systems
-
Conducting fire modelling and evacuation simulations
-
Preparing fire engineering reports and compliance documentation
-
Identifying risks in existing buildings through audits
-
Assisting with fire safety upgrades, retrofits, and certifications
At Fyrewise, our fire engineers are fully qualified, experienced, and deeply familiar with Queensland’s building regulations and codes.
Fire Safety Services We Provide Across Queensland
Fyrewise offers a comprehensive suite of fire engineering services to clients across metropolitan, regional, and remote parts of Queensland. Whether you’re planning a new development or upgrading an existing building, we provide expert guidance and support throughout your project.
1. Fire Engineering Design
We work with architects, developers, and building consultants to design fire protection systems tailored to the needs of each structure. Our designs meet all applicable standards and include:
-
Smoke detection and alarm systems
-
Fire sprinkler systems
-
Emergency lighting and exits
-
Passive fire protection
-
Fire compartmentation and egress planning
2. Performance-Based Solutions
Many buildings do not fit within the standard “deemed-to-satisfy” requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC). In these cases, Fyrewise offers performance-based fire engineering reports. Using fire modelling, simulations, and scientific methods, we demonstrate that your building still meets safety outcomes, even with an alternative design.
This approach is often required for:
-
Complex architectural layouts
-
Open-plan or atrium buildings
-
Heritage-listed properties
-
Tall buildings and mixed-use developments
3. Fire Safety Audits and Risk Assessments
We conduct thorough site inspections and fire safety audits for new and existing buildings. Our reports identify non-compliance issues, potential hazards, and recommended solutions to improve fire safety and meet regulatory obligations.
4. Fire Safety Management Plans
Effective fire response planning is critical for high-occupancy buildings such as schools, hospitals, and commercial offices. Our fire engineers develop complete fire safety management plans, including:
-
Evacuation strategies
-
Fire warden roles
-
Maintenance schedules
-
Emergency procedures and signage
5. Certification and Compliance Support
Fyrewise provides certification services to help your project meet all legal requirements. We work with certifiers and local councils throughout Queensland to provide:
-
Form 16 (Inspection Certificates)
-
Fire engineering briefs and reports
-
Post-construction inspection and compliance verification
6. Fire Safety Upgrades for Existing Buildings
We offer smart, practical solutions to bring older or non-compliant buildings up to modern fire safety standards. Whether it’s a school in Cairns, a factory in Rockhampton, or a heritage hotel in Toowoomba, we can design fire safety improvements suited to your needs and budget.
