YOUR SAFETY IS OUR WHY
Fire Department Ladder Inspections in Ontario
It’s important for the men and women who fight fires to have confidence in the integrity of their equipment. Our role is to ensure that ground ladders, aerial ladders, water towers, and aerial trucks are structurally and mechanically sound for service.
Ontario Regulation 714/94 is the governing standard for the inspection and certification of all fire department chassis mounted devices. These inspections are to conform to NFPA 1911 (which replaces NFPA 1914) for aerial ladders, platforms, and water towers.
We service many different fire departments in the Niagara Region and Greater Hamilton Area with our fire department inspections, including ladder and fire truck aerial inspections in Toronto.

Fire Truck Ground Ladder Inspection
Aerial Trucks
Ontario Regulation 714/94 requires the inspection and certification of all fire department chassis-mounted devices on an annual basis. This inspection is to be done visually by a competent person and using nondestructive testing methods should the visual inspection indicate a potential hazard. A complete nondestructive test is required every five years. These inspections are to conform to NFPA 1911 (which replaces NFPA 1914) for aerial ladders, platforms, and water towers.
Ground Ladders
Ground ladders are also to be inspected on an annual basis to ensure their serviceability. Inspections are to be carried out on extension ladders, roof ladders, and folding ladders under the requirements of NFPA 1932.
