Which of the following is a typical entry in a fire log book?

• A. Recording of smoke vent tests, visits by the fire service, and completed fire risk assessments.
• B. List of staff birthdays.
• C. Copies of tax returns.
• D. Vehicle maintenance schedules.

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is what belongs in a fire log book as part of keeping track of fire safety management. A typical entry records activities that directly affect fire risk and protection: smoke vent tests show the effectiveness of smoke control, visits by the fire service document external oversight and recommendations, and completed fire risk assessments capture the current understanding of risk and the actions needed to reduce it. Together, these items create a verifiable trail showing that key safety measures have been checked, actions have been taken, and responsibilities assigned.

Entries like staff birthdays, tax returns, or general vehicle maintenance schedules don’t relate to monitoring or evidencing fire protection measures, so they wouldn’t be expected in a fire log book.
