There are rewards for those who participate in the discussion regarding the construction of fire control rooms

I would like to ask whether your company has a fire control room in terms of fire safety, as well as any training provided for fire fighters. There are also tasks related to fire safety; how do you approach managing those?
There is no fire control room; only a fire control system that is located in the central control room. The company has full-time firefighters and fire trucks, while each department has part-time fire response teams. Drills and training are conducted on a monthly basis
We haven’t set up a fire control room; it’s not necessary, and the regulations don’t require it either.
Your company’s fire-fighting equipment is quite impressive.
There is a fire protection system; no dedicated department is in charge of fire safety, and it falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Safety and Environmental Protection...
I belong to a category of facilities that are considered high-risk from a fire safety perspective, so it’s necessary to have a fire control room. The personnel working in this control room must undergo training and pass examinations conducted by fire authorities in order to be qualified for their roles. However, only three people here have the required certificates. According to the latest regulations, issued **16 years ago**, 100% of the personnel working in such control rooms must have valid certificates (the documents I have here were not issued **16 years ago**). The duty personnel are required to work full-time, on a 24-hour basis, which is a bit difficult! ;P
The establishment of a fire control room is more appropriate for civil buildings. As long as such buildings are equipped with an automatic fire alarm system, as well as an automatic sprinkler fire suppression system or a gas fire suppression system, a fire control room must be set up, with dedicated personnel on duty 24/7 to monitor and operate these systems. For enterprises, there is usually a main control room where staff are on duty 24 hours a day; therefore, systems such as fire control systems are generally installed in that main control room.
Chemical plants generally do not have a dedicated fire control room. Generally, a plant-wide fire alarm system is installed, with the terminals located in the control room. The control room maintains hotlines with the on-site fire brigade and external fire services; once an alarm is received, emergency response is initiated immediately in accordance with the regular fire drill procedures.
