Fire & Emergency New Zealand

Automatic fire alarm connection

Fire and Emergency New Zealand provides a national automatic fire alarm system and service, managed through a national Code of Practice.

This allows you to directly connect your building's fire alarms (certified to New Zealand Standards) to Fire and Emergency New Zealand Communications Centres. 

There are many benefits to connecting your fire alarm to the automatic fire alarm system:

  • We can respond faster to a fire alarm.
  • We'll have information about your building on hand, allowing us to respond to an emergency more effectively.
  • A qualified Fire Alarm Service Agent for your fire alarms will automatically receive messages indicating defects and other non-normal events related to your fire alarm.
  • Our certified Automatic Fire Alarm Service Providers (AFASP) monitor all connected alarms, ensuring Fire Alarm Service Agents return connected fire alarms from an off-normal state back to normal.
  • Connecting your fire alarm to the automatic fire alarm system is a means of compliance for your building with Building Code requirements.
