FireCatt

Coordinating annual inspections is easier when the sequence is planned around standards and station schedules. Many agencies begin with NFPA 1962 hose testing to verify service pressure, elongation, and leakage tolerances, then move to nozzles and appliances so flow performance is checked on the same day. A fire hose testing company can also help determine which lengths to test first, keeping frontline lines available while reserve sections are evaluated. Barcoded tracking links each asset to its results, making future rescheduling and replacement decisions more straightforward. In larger systems, multiple engine and ladder companies can rotate through the process, so hydrant coverage is maintained. Ground ladders are often inspected during the same visit, with attention to wear points, heat damage indicators, and pawl operation. FireCatt uses a mobile, computerized method that records objective data and produces organized documentation for training files and audits. Departments in Troy, MI, and beyond use this structured process to keep equipment reliable and ready for service.
