We are pleased to support the Randwick TAFE Education program which commences in the second half of 2011.

In conjunction with the NFIA and independent fire contractors, Randwick TAFE is about to open courses to the Fire industry.

Being a specialised trade, the industry needs more skilled workers to ensure the correct installation and function of fire systems.

To assist with training we have supplied a 2600 dual risk gas panel which will be installed within the classroom and used for demonstrating to students and engineers the correct operation of a gas systems and the common indications and faults in which could be seen on site.

This will help familiarise fire contractors with different types of gas,ie. Inergen and FM200 and the do’s and dont's of such a system.

FireSense introduces our new Linear Heat Cable.

ThermoCable Linear heat detection cable is a combination of advanced polymer and digital technologies that can detect heat anywhere along its entire length.
