Assuring that our equipment is up to s***f, King Ferry Fire Department contracted for annual hose testing of all our hose.
Hose testing involves filling all the hose lines with water and then increasing the pressure to a set pressure depending upon the hose diameter size. The pressure must be held for a specified period of time while the hoses is inspected for any leaks or damage. The hose line should not leak at all. Any length of hose that fail, the pressure test is removed from service.
