What are my obligations? Do I need to have a fire extinguisher in my premises?

All Commercial premises or public meeting places need to comply with Australian Standards 2444 as governed by Regulations for the BCA (Building Code of Australia) and in NSW relevant local council guidelines. This means that at least one fire extinguisher is required to be located within your premises. Extinguishers are required to reach every 15 walkable metres for Class A fires (paper, wood, textiles) and every 20 walkable metres for Class E fires (electrical).
