Back-of-house stockrooms often accumulate large volumes of combustible goods, accelerating fire spread.

COMMON RISKS

Shopping centres and retail properties bring together high foot traffic, diverse tenant operations, restaurants, entertainment areas, and extensive storage spaces, all of which increase fire risk and complexity. From electrical systems and tenant fit-outs to food courts and loading bays, each zone requires tailored fire safety planning and reliable protection systems.
