Outsourcing Hose And Ladder Testing

Key Reasons to Outsource Fire Hose Testing & Ground Ladder Testing

1. Annual Testing is required by NFPA regulations 1962 & 1932.
2. Reduces Department Liability, should a firemen become injured in the line of duty, testing places the department in a defensible position.
3. Improves ISO Rating and reduces property insurance costs for your community.
4. We utilize specialized testing equipment. We can test up to 14 lines simultaneously. We test and load more hose in a day than most firemen do in a year.
5. Saves Training Time, no need to use valuable training time testing hose. We usually test 10-12,000’ of hose per day.
6. Avoid Burn Out, its hard enough to find manpower; don’t use it up by having them test hose. Volunteers have other responsibilities and don’t want to use personal time testing hose.
7. Safety, our special equipment allows us to secure hose during testing, reducing the possibility of injuries due to a wild line.
8. Documentation - we provide a complete set of inventory and test reports in an electronic format.
9. No Special Equipment to Purchase most departments don’t test their ladders simply because they don't have the equipment required to do the job. By using our special equipment, your budget goes further.
