Chief, is your list of things to do keep growing and growing?
As Chief of my department I truly understand the often hectic and busy schedule that comes with the territory. Being a Chief Officer these days certainly can be challenging. Making sure the members are trained, completing paperwork, taking care of maintenance and list keeps growing and growing.
That is why I designed Safety First to be a “one stop shopping” for testing requirements. We have organized the business in a way you can make one phone call and your fire hose, Ladders, SCBA bottles, and apparatus pumps are tested to the recognized standards. We have also designed a website to allow you 24 hour access to all your records. www.safetyfirstfirehose.com

Fire Service Pump Testing
 Safety First offers a comprehensive fire service pump test program to determine compliance with NFPA 1911 Standard for Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus 2007
Why Test your fire pumps? The main reason to test your pumps is for the confidence in knowing that the apparatus is fully functional and prepare to work when needed. Additionally, a centrifugal fire pump is a mechanical device, like your car. The very moment it is put into service it is being worn out. By testing your apparatus annually,you have the ability of predicting your maintenance budget requirements 2 to 3 YEARS IN ADVANCE!
