What's Inspected.

A real inspection isn't a checklist signature. It's a working walk-around with the apparatus operator, a pump test on water, and an honest report at the end.

Pump Service Test

NFPA 1911 — rated capacity, 70%, 50%, pressure control system test, gauge verification.

Chassis

Frame, suspension, steering, driveline, mounts, body mounts.

Brake System

Foundation brakes, air system, slack adjusters, parking brake hold.

Electrical

12V chassis, charging, batteries, multiplex panel, scene and warning lighting.

Apparatus

Hose-bed, ladders, SCBA brackets, intake and discharge hardware.

Documentation

Signed report + pump test data sheet + scope of any follow-up work.

Why this matters.

The annual inspection is the document a department has to point to when an apparatus fails on a scene or in a post-incident review. “We inspected it last year” is the line that determines whether the chief is having a normal Monday or a very long week. Pencil-whipped paperwork looks fine until it has to hold up. Real inspection paperwork looks fine because it actually does.

We treat the annual the same whether you're a 30-rig career department or a two-truck volunteer house. Same standard, same documentation, same honest findings. ISO appreciates it. The next chief who has to defend the department's maintenance practices will too.

Inspection FAQ

What standard do you inspect to? +
NFPA 1911 — Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Emergency Vehicles. All annual inspections, pump service tests, and aerial mechanical readiness work follows the relevant sections of NFPA 1911.
What's included in the annual inspection? +
Pump service test (rated capacity at 150 PSI net pump pressure, 70% at 200 PSI, 50% at 250 PSI, pressure control system test). Chassis: frame, suspension, steering, driveline. Brake system. Electrical (12V chassis, charging, multiplex, scene & warning lighting). Apparatus (hose-bed, ladders, SCBA bracketry, intake/discharge hardware).
Can you do the inspection at our station? +
Most of it — chassis, electrical, apparatus, and brake testing happen at your station. The pump service test needs a draft source; we use one local to you when possible or coordinate a regional pump test pit.
What documentation do we get? +
A signed and dated inspection report referencing the relevant NFPA 1911 sections, pump service test data sheet with pressure/flow numbers, and a parts/labor scope for anything needing follow-up. Suitable for ISO review and apparatus records.
What if the apparatus doesn't pass? +
We document the failure honestly. Repairable items we fix on the spot (packing, gauge calibration, minor electrical). Bigger scope gets a written parts/labor estimate and a retest schedule. We don't pencil-whip a passing report.
Do you inspect aerial structure? +
We inspect the mechanical and hydraulic side — outriggers, slides, cables, rotation, waterway. NDT (non-destructive testing) of the aerial structure itself is specialized; we coordinate with your NDT vendor on timing if needed.
