Studied the concept of maintenance as servicing or repairing fire safety systems to keep them in reliable working order.
Studied maintenance of active systems, including replacing or refilling extinguishers, servicing fire pumps, cleaning and calibrating detectors, and replacing damaged sprinkler heads.
Studied maintenance of passive systems, such as re-sealing gaps in fire-rated walls, replacing worn-out intumescent seals in fire doors, and repairing cracks or holes in compartment walls and ceilings.
Learned that proper maintenance is essential for ensuring both active and passive fire protection systems function effectively during an emergency.
