Sept. 24, 2025 — The Barre Fire Department conducted flow testing on its apparatus on Wednesday, part of the department’s regular maintenance and readiness program.

Flow testing ensures that each piece of fire apparatus delivers the proper water pressure and volume during operations. These checks are critical for both firefighter safety and effective fire suppression.

By staying on top of preventive maintenance and performance testing, Barre Fire continues to keep its fleet in peak condition, ready to respond when the community needs them most.
