Services We Provide
Hose, Nozzle & Appliance Testing
IIA’s tailor-made, perfected inspection process includes a custom-built support structure for reloading inspected hoses. Removing hoses and racks one at a time allows other trucks to stay in service and means less downtime. IIA’s thorough tests include flow and pressure tests to ensure no leaks, and our detailed recording includes: diameter, length, manufacturer, age, and location. We provide a custom inventory tagging system for each coupling, which means no failed hoses will recirculate. We have also created industry-specific cages and gauges for safe appliance and nozzle testing.
Fire Pump Testing
IIA's Pump Commander is a large trailer with an inner tank that allows us to complete fire pump testing on an apparatus equipped with a pump. It is filled with clean water that allows IIA to draft water for a pump test. Our test ensures that your fire trucks and fire pump are performing at the correct number of gallons per minute (GPM). For pumps smaller than 1500 GPM, IIA is able to perform pump tests on up to two fire trucks at one time. The IIA Pump Commander is portable and we typically perform tests at a fire station, but tests can also be completed at multiple industrial fire apparatus service agencies. Lastly, IIA ensures that our Pump Commander complies with NFPA guidelines.
Aerial & Ground Ladder Testing
Using traditional and specialty equipment, IIA performs all necessary annual ladder inspections in accordance with NFPA guidelines. We provide testing for ground, roof, attic, combination, extension, and multipurpose ladders and our testing includes visual, operational, bend, and drift tests. Using our mobile crane load testing equipment, we also perform hardware, pressure, and load tests to make certain the ground ladder safely withstands all load requirements. Our experts are trained to test all ladders, whether metal, wood, or fiberglass, in accordance with NFPA guidelines and place an IIA testing identification sticker on all ladders.
Inspection Tracking
Our team has a complete understanding of NFPA testing requirements. We track your fleet's inspection needs and inform you when your equipment is due for inspections, helping your department avoid potential compliance issues. Annual records maintained by IIA and provided to each department have been accepted by the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) for years, and may help lower your township or city's insurance costs.
