The Eltham Fire Brigade provides a Fire Equipment Maintenance or FEM service to the areas of Eltham and surrounding suburbs that is conducted by qualified CFA personnel for all servicable fire fighting and fire prevention and safety equipment.

This includes all types of fire extinguishers, (water type, foam type, dry chemical, carbon dioxide CO₂, halon and wet chemical) fire blankets, fire hose reels, hydrants and layflat hose.

All servicing is done in line with CFA Guidelines, and to relevant Australian Standards.

By ensuring that your fire equipment is appropriately maintained, and checked at regular intervals, you can be sure that in an event of an emergency, the equipment that you are relying on to save your life will work to expectation.

The Eltham Fire Brigade also provides a "Halon Bank" collection service where all now illegal yellow BCF type extinguishers can be brought. From December 31 1995, all Halon Extinguishers are illegal for use in Australia, although many still exist in circulation. If you come accross one of these yellow fire extinguishers, take it to your local fire brigade station for disposal.

The CFA provides servicing for all types and brands of equipment including Quell and Wormald installed equipment, so if you live in the Eltham region, and need FEM, contact us by email to fem@elthamcfa.org.au or contact the brigade directly on the numbers below
