Fire alarm systems are critical for detecting and alerting crew members to fire hazards on board. Regular testing and servicing of fire alarm systems ensure they are in good working condition and able to respond accurately in an emergency. This includes checking sensors, testing alarm response times, and ensuring that components such as smoke detectors, alarms, and control panels are functioning properly. Routine maintenance helps reduce the risk of false alarms and ensures timely detection of real fires. Reliable fire alarm systems are crucial for crew safety and compliance with SOLAS fire safety regulations.
