Fire safety at your property

Improve fire safety at your property
To improve fire safety of your property, we recommend providing:

Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

• Follow Australian Smoke Alarm Requirements on how many devices to install.
• Install a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm outside each sleeping area and/or in the bedroom.
• Wire alarms together so that if one sounds, they all sound.
• Install flashing alarms for people who are hearing impaired.
• Test alarms once a month and replace batteries as required.

Fire extinguishers

Install high on the wall, near an exit, away from heat sources, and out of reach of children.
If extinguishers are not in plain sight, notify travellers where they can be found.
Ensure that extinguishers are properly charged and ready to use.
If your extinguisher is designed for one-time discharge, replace it immediately after use.

Emergency exit route and phone numbers

Indicate any emergency exit routes for your guests.
Notify of emergency exit routes on your listing under Home safety features.
List emergency phone numbers in your guidebook or display them on the refrigerator.
