From prevention to protection

Issue 4 and 5 2025 News & Events, Fire & Safety

The Western Cape’s varied landscapes and rapid urban development present a range of fire safety challenges. From densely populated city centres to remote industrial sites, and from heritage buildings to new high-rise developments, the region’s facilities face distinct risks that demand tailored solutions. Firexpo Cape Town, running from 21 to 23 October 2025 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), brings together the people, products, and knowledge you need to address these realities head-on.

Fire safety in focus for the region

The province’s combination of strong seasonal winds, ongoing construction growth, and a mix of old and new infrastructure means fire risk is never far from the minds of facility managers, safety officers, and emergency planners. At Firexpo Cape Town, you will meet leading local and international suppliers offering everything from advanced detection and suppression systems to fire-resistant materials, emergency lighting, evacuation technologies, and PPE.

“Visitors will find practical, adaptable solutions designed to work in the Western Cape’s specific conditions, whether that is systems capable of operating in heritage spaces with minimal intrusion, or suppression equipment that can withstand the coastal climate’s corrosion challenges,” says Mark Anderson, portfolio director at Montgomery Group Africa.

Four shows, endless possibilities

Firexpo Cape Town is co-located with Securex South Africa, A-OSH Expo, and Facilities Management Expo, providing visitors with a comprehensive view of safety, security, and operational excellence. This integrated environment means you can explore how fire detection ties into building management, how safety protocols can enhance evacuation strategies, and how facility design impacts both prevention and response.

“Whether you are in manufacturing, hospitality, education, retail, or public sector services, fire safety is non-negotiable. Firexpo offers direct access to suppliers and specialists who understand both the regulations and the realities of implementing fire safety measures in the Western Cape. You will also gain valuable insights into new technologies, evolving standards, and strategies that help protect both people and property,” says Anderson.

Beyond compliance, Firexpo helps decision-makers understand how to future-proof their estates and businesses against fire risks by showcasing cost-effective solutions tailored for local needs. From perimeter protection and intelligent detection systems to integrated alarms and suppression equipment, the expo highlights practical tools that make safety both manageable and measurable.
