Fire Pump & Foam System Testing

Our certified technicians do all of the work right at your fire station with a mobile pump testing system.

Fire pumps on apparatus shall be service tested in accordance with the applicable requirements of NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus, Chapter 18. This standard covers the service testing of fire pump systems on automotive fire apparatus and establishes the site, environmental and equipment requirements for proper pump system performance testing, as well as the frequency and procedures to be followed in performing tests. This standard applies to the conduct of in-service tests of fire pump systems on fire apparatus to ensure that the pump continues to be capable of the performance for which it is designed.

FOAM SYSTEM TESTING

At least annually, all foam systems shall be thoroughly inspected and checked for proper operation in accordance with NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus, Chapters 20 & 21. The inspection shall include performance evaluation of the foam concentrate or premix solution quality or both. Test results that deviate more than 10 percent from those recorded in acceptance testing shall be discussed immediately with the manufacturer. The goal of this inspection and testing shall be to ensure that the system is in full operating condition and that it remains in that condition until the next inspection.
