Dry Fire & Electrical Services

Experts in detection, warning & system integration.

At FWSR Group, our licensed electricians are specialists in dry fire protection systems.

Our electricians work hand-in-hand with our wet fire team to deliver fully integrated fire protection solutions - whether it’s a project involving a new installation or system upgrade or ongoing maintenance as part of your Essential Safety Measures (ESM).

Dry fire systems are critical to building safety, providing early detection and warning that helps protect occupants and reduce risk before water-based suppression systems are activated. From simple alarm systems to fully integrated building solutions, our team ensures your site is compliant, responsive and ready.

What is a dry fire system?

A dry fire system centres around the Fire Indicator Panel (FIP) - the control hub that continuously monitors detectors and field devices across your building.

When smoke, heat or flame is detected - or if a fault occurs - the panel activates alarms, warning systems and integrated controls.

Dry fire systems commonly include:
  • Smoke, heat and flame detectors
  • Manual call points (break glass alarms)
  • Fire Indicator Panels (FIP)
  • Occupant Warning Systems (OWS)
  • Emergency Warning Intercommunication Systems (EWIS)
  • Door release mechanisms
  • HVAC shutdown, mechanical interfaces and Building Management Systems (BMS)
  • Roller door activation
  • Emergency lighting integration
  • Aspirated smoke detection
  • Interfacing sprinkler, pumps and tanks suppression systems
These systems alert occupants, assist evacuation and interface with other building services to help contain risk and support emergency response.

Installation & commissioning

Our electricians install and commission dry fire systems in accordance with Australian Standards, including AS 1670.1. From warehouse detection systems to fully integrated occupant warning systems in multi-use facilities, we focus on performance, compliance and long-term reliability.

Because our wet and dry fire teams operate under one roof, we understand how detection systems interact with sprinklers, pumps and monitored valves - ensuring all components work together as intended.

Routine maintenance & testing

Dry fire systems require routine inspection and testing to remain compliant and operational. Our service team carries out scheduled testing of fire detection and alarm systems, exit and emergency lighting, RCDs and associated electrical components.

For example, exit and emergency lighting must remain operational during power outages or emergencies to support safe evacuation. Regular inspection and replacement ensures these systems function when needed most.

Following every service, we provide clear reporting and compliance documentation to support auditing, insurance and regulatory requirements.
