- Inspect your fire pump regularly. Make sure to inspect all of the components of your fire pump on a regular basis. Look for any signs of wear or damage, and take action if you find anything wrong.

 

- Pump test annually. As part of your regular inspection, you should also perform a pump test. This will help ensure that your fire pump is in proper working order and that it will function properly in an emergency situation.

- Service the pump. The pump on your truck should be serviced regularly. This would include changing the fluid in the t-case and inspecting the pump packing.

 

- Exercise the pump regularly. Just like any other piece of equipment, your fire pump needs to be exercised regularly in order to keep it in good condition. Make sure you take the time to run the pump for a few minutes at least once a week.

 

- Keep your fire truck in good condition. This goes hand in hand with regular inspections and maintenance of your fire pump. Make sure to keep all the parts of your fire truck in good condition, and don't let any problems go unaddressed.
