MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND SERVICING The use of machinery vastly increases labor productivity, but it also provides some problems. Not the least of these is that it requires continuous maintenance, repair and servicing. In our concern for the fire problems caused by the machines and their operators, there is a tendency to overlook the serious fire risks that can occur from such activities. If all maintenance, repair and servicing of mechanical equipment could be done in shops or corporation yards, the threat of wildland fire from these activities would be negligible. This, however, is not the case and such activities often take place in highly fire hazardous situations. Welding, cutting, and grinding are common emergency repairs used to repair disabled machinery. This means that the choice of time and location is severely limited or non-existent. The machine may very well be situated in the middle of a hillside covered with dry grass or pine needles. Before any arc is struck or other repair work started, the area should be made as fire safe as possible. Refueling and Lubrication Whenever possible, refueling and lubrication should be done at properly equipped and cleared shop or yard areas. On logging and many construction operations, this is not reasonably feasible. In these situations, certain precautions should be taken. In the interests of both fire prevention and water pollution control, all drain oil, used oil filters, rags, and other trash should be disposed of by complete removal from the site. Service vehicles, including fuel and mechanics’trucks, should be equipped with large (i.e., 20-40 lb.) multipurpose fire extinguishers. The operators of these vehicles should be well trained in the use of extinguishers.
