FireOne is in the business of performance testing fire apparatus pumps, aerials and other apparatus components right at your fire station with our own equipment, including a mobile pump testing system.  FireOne is also in the business of testing fire hose, nozzles, appliances, and ground ladders.

 

Completion of these important annual tests shows that all of your pumps and equipment are in good working condition.  Your membership, your community, the ISO and NFPA 1500 will all benefit from successful completion of this work.

NEW FOR 2008!

 

NFPA 1962 , Standard for the Inspection, Care and Use of Fire Hose, Couplings, and Nozzles and the Service Testing of Fire Hose, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Hose.  It was issued by the Standards Council on December 11, 2007, with an effective date of December 31, 2007, and supersedes all previous editions.  This edition of NFPA 1962 was approved as an American National Standard on December 31, 2007.

This edition of NFPA 1962 includes a new chapter for use, inspection, and testing of fire hose connected appliances.  Since the issuance of NFPA 1965, Standard for Fire Hose Appliances (2003 edition), which provides for minimum performance and operational requirements for new fire hose appliances, NFPA 1962 now provides testing criteria so that those appliances can be tested and maintained in an equivalent manner.

One of the purposes of this standard is to establish that safety is a primary concern for the continued in-service use of fire hose, couplings, nozzles, and appliances, and that safety is the ultimate decision to retire fire hose, couplings, nozzles and appliances.
