Australasia’s Largest Fire Protection Industry Event Comes to a Close

Australasia’s largest fire protection industry event, Fire Australia, took place this week at Sydney’s ICC, drawing over 2000 delegates.

MC Brett de Hoedt opened the event, followed by a welcome from FPA Australia President Russell Porteous and opening remarks from FPA Australia’s CEO John Collie.

The program kicked off with three expert-led plenary sessions: the first on the NFPA‘s Fire and Life Safety Ecosystem, the second on innovation, knowledge, and collaboration, and the third on the Grenfell Inquiry’s impact on fire service operations and emerging safety challenges.

Break-out sessions covered a wide array of topics, delivering real-world expertise and thought-provoking insights across every sector of fire protection from fire system assessment, fire safety engineering, bushfire urban interface risk, national accreditation, fire systems design and inspect and test.

The Tradeshow Hall was alive with innovation, networking and plenary sessions throughout the day, with industry insights and global expertise presented by leading speakers from Australia and beyond.

Fire Australia 2025 ran from 13-15 May.
