For both career and volunteers this will provide your crews the opportunity for more sufficient time to focus on other tasks like training, pre-plan inspections, and community outreach. Efficiency: We can typically test double the amount of equipment a fire department can do on their own. Our proprietary testing equipment allows us to not have undue stress on your in-house equipment. Quality & Safety: As professionals, we are working with this equipment every day. We know exactly what to look for to identify deficient equipment with a non-bias approach. Record Keeping: We provide clean and detailed record keeping. Working with Waterway We have 5 full crews in our service area. Our Crew Chiefs coordinate with the fire department to determine the most convenient schedule and time for your department to ensure minimal downtime. Testing usually occurs at your fire station, depending on adequate water supply and available space.
