Annual Pump Testing
On October 20th, 2016 Lone Star Fire Specialties came to our facility to perform Pump Testing on our Fire Apparatus. This testing is important because it puts our trucks through the paces and can ensure that they will perform their duties in an emergency situation. It also helps us to find minor and even major issues with our fire apparatus so that we can fix them before they fail.
