On July 1 2020, a new organisation was launched to bring together all MFB and career CFA fighters. Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) serves metropolitan Melbourne and major regional centres – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

There are 85 FRV fire and rescue stations across the state. In October 2020, Derrimut Station reached practical completion; it is the largest FRV fire station to be built since South Melbourne Fire Station was completed almost 30 years ago.

The $10 million Victorian Government-funded project is Australasia’s first five-star sustainable fire station on the Green Star rating system. As a large project that is designed to serve Australian citizens efficiently and promptly, the facility requires the best products to ensure safety and security. This includes the instalment of proper door solutions.

Thus, Premier Door Systems partnered with the head contractor Harris HMC to deliver an outstanding project. Our range of EFAFLEX high-speed doors is the ideal choice for appliance bay doors to the FRV.

For this project, we installed EFAFLEX STT and EFAFLEX SFT High Speed Doors. These door solutions provide increased safety features and boast extremely fast operating speeds, with up to 200,000 operating cycles per year. These durable doors are also built to last, requiring reduced maintenance without sacrificing reliability.

The EFAFLEX SFT High Speed Folding Door also provides officers driving the appliances with almost instant vertical clear opening height, minimising risks of accidents and ensuring staff safety.

EFAFLEX has been a trusted manufacturer of high-speed doors with 40 years of experience, and along with Premier’s longevity in the industry, we ensure the delivery of professional and high-quality service.
