Who tests your hose'?
Quick show of hands, how many departments out there test their own hose and how many rely on outside vendors?
We test our own at our small, primarily vollie, department. Last night we tested our LDH(semi-annual testing), and a coupling failed. 4" @ 250 psi can make quite a wet spot! No body got hurt, but the potential is always there.
So, test it yourself, or pay somebody to do it?

Hose testing is the responsibility of each Brigade. We test our own each year. It's very little work for the Pumper as our local water pressure is almost highr than we want to use anyway!
