Home and Building

If you live near bush land and have a roof mounted evaporative air conditioning unit, your home may be at risk from bush fire ember attack. 

Burning embers from bushfires can travel relatively long distances from the actual fire through the air. If the embers land on or near your home and there is fuel available to burn, they can start a fire. 

Embers can get into your house through gaps (greater than 2 mm) in the roof, walls, windows, doors and evaporative air conditioning units. 

Evaporative air conditioner filter pads made from cellulose material are a potential source of fuel for travelling embers. 

If air conditioners draw in embers and the filter pads ignite, the unit may collapse into the roof and the fire may spread throughout the house. 

To prevent embers entering your evaporative air conditioning unit and to protect your home from the effect of bush fires, D.F.E.S recommends that you install ember protection screens or covers.

Fire & Smoke Barrier Curtains

 

Smoke barrier curtains are fabric systems that deploy from ceilings or walls to contain smoke and heat during a fire

guiding it to ventilation points to aid escape, often hidden until activated, and are used for large open spaces, stairwells, and patio's etc, to meet fire safety regulations.

These curtains offer an unobtrusive, aesthetic solution for smoke control, with options like walk-through designs for egress and features like battery backup for reliability, providing crucial time for occupants to evacuate safely
