Fire systems fail silently.
Inspections happen quarterly.
Between two manual inspections, a pump can trip, a tank can drain, a detector can be unplugged for renovation and never reconnected — and nobody knows until the day it matters most.
days between checks
Interval-based inspection means months of blind spots. A register entry proves someone visited — not that the system works.
warning when pumps die
A jockey pump that stops holding pressure, or a diesel pump with a flat battery, looks perfectly normal — until a hydrant is opened in an emergency.
question insurers ask
“Can you prove your fire system was operational?” After an incident, paper registers convince no one — not insurers, not authorities, not courts.
