Commercial Defence Systems
Protect your premises, stock and income before the next Fire Danger Season.
Paterson Bushfire Defence designs and installs commercial bushfire defence systems for businesses across the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula and Barossa. Wineries, farms, tourism accommodation, workshops and community buildings all face the same risk each summer: ember attack can reach a building long before the fire front arrives, and a business can lose its premises, stock and income in a single afternoon.
A system designed around your site
A commercial system is built around your site, not a kit. We assess the buildings, the layout and the surrounding vegetation, then design a network of roof and perimeter sprinklers that wets down the building and the ground around it. Each system runs from a dedicated firefighting water supply and a pump that works independently of mains power, so it keeps running when the electricity fails.
Everything installed by one team
Our licensed plumbers handle the full job: system design, non-combustible tanks, firefighting pumps, metal pipework that will not melt in radiant heat, fire hose reels and fittings that CFS crews can connect to. Where your site has a development approval or building requirements for bushfire protection, we install to suit.
Once your system is in, we can service it before every Fire Danger Season so it is ready when you need it.

FAQs
What types of businesses need a commercial bushfire defence system?
Any business in or near bushland can benefit, including wineries, farms, tourism accommodation, workshops, schools and community buildings in high bushfire risk areas.
Will the system work during a power outage?
Yes. We use firefighting pumps driven by petrol or diesel engines, so the system runs without mains electricity.
Can you work with our existing tanks and pumps?
Often, yes. We inspect what you already have and tell you what can be reused and what needs upgrading.
How long does a commercial installation take?
It depends on the size of the site. We give you a timeframe with your quote after the site assessment.
