Plainville Fire Department carried out its annual pump testing on Monday to ensure all frontline apparatus continue to operate safely and reliably. The testing process confirms that each pump can deliver proper water flow and pressure during fire suppression operations.

Crews worked with certified testers to run engines and pumps through performance checks that simulate real fireground demands. These inspections help identify mechanical issues early and maintain readiness for structure fires, hydrant operations, and tanker shuttles.

Department officials emphasized that pump testing is an important part of yearly maintenance that supports firefighter safety and effective service to the community. Plainville Fire Department will continue routine testing and preventative maintenance throughout the year.
