Studied that testing means carrying out functional checks to prove fire safety systems will actually work during a fire.
Studied testing of active systems, such as simulating fire conditions for alarms, switching off main power to check emergency lights, running fire pumps under load, performing sprinkler flow tests, and conducting room integrity tests for gas suppression systems.
Studied testing of passive systems, including checking fire doors for proper self-closing and latch function, and testing smoke vents by opening and closing them under conditions.
Learned that regular testing ensures both active and passive systems remain dependable for real emergency use.
