During fire investigations the Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) sometimes finds products or procedures which are deemed unsafe and likely to cause a fire. When this happens the MFS takes action and works with the relevant authorities to amend legislation or to communicate information to industry and the public.
Our aim is to prevent injury or loss of life, and prevent damage to property and the environment.
The following are specific product information alerts designed to raise awareness of potential defects in materials or services. These alerts are sourced from a variety of outlets, including the Product Safety Australia website.
