Annual pump testing
An actual fire emergency is not the time to find out if you have discharge or relief valves that don’t work, primers not working, or valves / gauges leaking. We test our pumps every year to be proactive towards the process of maintaining our apparatus.
Annual fire pump testing goes a long way toward addressing potentially life-threatening problems. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) fire pump testing requirements are issued with and detailed procedures for performing these tests.
The Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) also requires annual pump testing, and the results help determine the fire suppression capability of your community, which will be reflected in local insurance rates.

Although the final score remains unknown, the kids were more than elated to “toss the pigskin” with their local firefighters.
