This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

It was a Hose Testing Day for our department. Fire hose is one of the most critical tools we rely on during emergencies, and much of it is operated under extremely high pressure when in use.


To guarantee that our equipment is both safe for our members and fully operational when the community needs us most, every section of hose undergoes regular, rigorous testing. This process identifies any weaknesses, ensures reliability under stress, and provides our firefighters with the confidence that their tools will perform when lives and property are on the line.


Routine testing like this is just one of the many proactive steps we take to maintain readiness and uphold our commitment to safety.
