Mechanical room
A mechanical room or a boiler room is a room or space in a building dedicated to the mechanical equipment and its associated electrical equipment, as opposed to rooms intended for human occupancy or storage. Unless a building is served by a centralized heating plant, the size of the mechanical room is usually proportional to the size of the building. A small building or home may have at most a utility room but in large buildings mechanical rooms can be of considerable size, often requiring multiple rooms throughout the building, or even occupying one or more complete floors (see: mechanical floor).
Mechanical rooms typically house the following equipment:
Equipment in mechanical rooms is often operated and maintained by a stationary engineer or a maintenance technician. Modern buildings use control systems to manage HVAC cycles, lighting, communications, and life safety equipment. Often, the control system hardware is located in the mechanical room and monitored or accessed remotely.
Fire room
On a ship, the fire room, or FR or boiler room or stokehold, referred to the space of a vessel where water was brought to a boil. The steam was then transmitted to a separate engine room, located immediately aft, where it was utilized to power the vessel. To increase the safety and damage survivability of a vessel, the machinery necessary for operations may be segregated into various spaces, the fire room was one of these spaces, and was among the largest physical compartment of the machinery space. On some ships, the space comprised more than one fire room, such as forward and aft, or port or starboard fire rooms, or may be simply numbered. Each room was connected to a stack ventilating smoke.
By their nature, fire rooms were less complex than their allied engine room and were normally supervised by less senior personnel.
On a large percentage of vessels, ships and boats, the fire room was located near the bottom, and at the rear, or aft, end of the vessel, and usually comprised few compartments. This design maximized the cargo carrying capacity of the vessel. The fire room on some ships was situated amid-ships, especially on vessels built from the 1880s to the 1990s.

Do It Again
by: Boiler RoomWatch me give out
Never giving in
The only way is to get down in it
To the top with me now there's no limits
Give me reason
Reason to believe
That you're with us when we're bringing it to ya
Like we have before
We're gonna do it again
We're gonna do it again now
Turn it out
Do it again
We're gonna do it again now
Set it off
Do It Again
We're gonna do it again now
This goes out to the ones who doubt
No longer the underdog. we're gonna win it
Don't you doubt us 'cause we were always in it
Now tell me, tell me what ya, what ya gonna do
When I get some cash, she'll get with me too
Everybody knows that we get the party started
And I must admit, we make an art of it
We're coming down hard on all the half-hearted
And watch me now 'cause I'm just getting started
Watch me blow it on up
Watch me blow it on op
Watch me now. 'cause you're living a lie
and now you came to confide
We're gonna do it again
We're gonna do it again now
Turn it out
Do it again
We're gonna do It again now
Set it off
Do It Again
We're gonna do it again now
