COVID 19 Crisis
Official Community Response Statement, Sydney April 2020
Competent Fire Safety Practitioner in NSW CFSP | FPAS Accredited Provider | National Fire Group – a FPAS Recognised Business | FPAA Members
In these very difficult times, National Fire Group is dedicated more than ever to keep our clients and their properties safe.
It is now that people will need help the most.
Our commitment is to assist all strata clients in the maintenance of the properties in their care.
Having more people staying home for longer periods, will increase risk. Due to the higher volume of activity within the home over the course of the coming weeks and months, fire safety should be at the forefront of every Strata Manager’s consideration for safety and compliance and not a time to allow maintenance in properties to lapse.
​
We feel strongly about helping the community and doing what we can to make a difference. Fire Protection is an essential service and at National Fire, we will continue to inspect and test sole occupancy units whilst the state and the federal government allow it.
​
All our technicians, have proactively completed the training module of COVID 19 Infection Control Training through the Department of Health and have been provided with personal protective equipment to protect themselves and the tenants at our client's properties.
​Our promise to our Strata clients, is if you need work done because your other provider cannot fulfil the requirement, National Fire Group will do our best to honour the written quote from your other provider, taking into consideration the commercial viability of the pricing provided. i.e fair fee for service.
We understand our community is doing it tough and we will try to accommodate as much as possible.
​
We want to make a difference, we want to solve problems, as Strata Managers you've experienced the hardest start to a year with the recent fires and floods and now COVID 19.
It is causing havoc on the worlds business communities. We need to all find ways to adapt, we want to work with you and with your local councils to navigate the difficulty this unquantifiable disruption/threat will be to maintenance and compliance.

We will also be looking at ways we can support clients with service cost reduction over the longer period to minimise the current financial impact will have on property owners. Which we will be sharing with you in the coming days.

As a country we need to use good old Aussie innovation in the way we navigate the challenge, find news ways to provide consistency to clients and the community.
