Regular maintenance and upkeep of fire pumps

Although regulations and rules clearly require regular maintenance and upkeep of firefighting facilities and equipment, currently firefighting water pumps cannot achieve regular trial operation, which can cause the pump body to jam and rust over time, and even fail to function properly in the event of a fire. On October 25th, Guangzhou Daily revealed under the title "Why Firefighting Facilities at 500000 yuan Can't Drip and Spray" that the fire-fighting facilities in Yide Road Comprehensive Market in Yuexiu District were unable to operate normally during a fire due to lack of maintenance, resulting in significant losses. Therefore, we suggest that the specification requires the use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to control the pump group in the fire pump, to achieve regular trial operation of the fire pump during standby and automatic start during firefighting, effectively eliminating the situation where the fire pump cannot be used at critical moments.
