Anyone have a spec or list of items you use as a standard for pump maint. prior to annual pump test?
Former chief has used same traveling firm/fire mechanic for several years to do annual apparatus maint followed by pump test. At least in theory, they check "whatever needs checking" nonautomotive. If it leaks they fix it. We have local diesel shop do automotive annual maint and DOT safety inspection ahead of time.
Looking at we're getting what we need/pay for. We have not given them a listing of what we want or a report of what they did (beyond parts invoice).
We do minor work thru the year ourselves.
Received a recent quote for maint/test that was twice what we have been spending. Something is different.
