Fire & Wire is proudly celebrating 20 years in the Victorian fire safety and Essential Services Maintenance (ESM) industry this 2025.
…and we are thrilled to share this milestone with you.
What began with a simple focus on fire safety has grown into a comprehensive offering, and through it all, our commitment to safety, compliance and customer satisfaction has remained unwavering.
This year, we reflect on the two-decade journey of progress and our ongoing promise: a level of service that has been protecting people, properties and reputations since 2004.
Walk with us through our 20-year journey of making Victorian homes, buildings and establishments safer and more compliant.
"Our clients know they can trust us to take care of the details – from coordinating service times to handling reporting – allowing them to focus on their core business with peace of mind."
Pryce Sprague, Founder and CEO of Fire & Wire
From humble beginnings to ESM industry leadership
Two decades ago, our journey started as a family-owned and run business providing basic fire safety services: installing fire systems and conducting routine maintenance.
Over the years, we’ve focused on growing the business, but without letting go of the family values and the genuine passion for keeping Melbourne homes safe and compliant through fire safety expertise and technological innovation.
Fast forward to today, and Fire & Wire is now Melbourne’s premier fire safety & ESM solutions provider, a one-stop-shop with a full range of ESM & fire safety services across:
- fire system installation and maintenance,
- AESMR and other compliance reports,
- ongoing support and on-call services,
- accessible services using the latest digital platforms and
- all ESM needs for properties across Melbourne and Victoria
– all under one roof and delivered with your safety, reputation and convenience in mind.
"As our clients’ needs evolved over the past two decades, so did we, ensuring we’re always on top of the latest standards and regulations – so we can give them the peace of mind they deserve."
Pryce Sprague, Founder and CEO of Fire & Wire
As a testament to our commitment to quality solutions AND service delivery, we’re still the trusted partner for many of our original clients, continuing to grow alongside them.
Staying ahead of the curve: continuously adapting to industry changes
The past 20 years have seen the ESM landscape evolve significantly. So, we’ve learned and grown through the constant changes in Australian fire safety standards.
Through it all, our goal has been the same: to stay ahead of industry changes and provide our clients with the best possible service.
With 20 years of experience under our belt, we understand the intricacies of every building and its fire safety requirements, knowing that no two are ever the same. This knowledge is invaluable in ensuring that we can approach fire safety and ESM in a personalised way that works best for each property.
"We’ve spent years building our expertise and streamlining our approach – so whether it’s an emergency or a complex compliance report, our partners know they have the support that they need."
Griffin Sprague, Partnerships Manager, Fire & Wire
