Fire Department Pumping Apparatus Maintenance

Description:
Fire Department Pumping Apparatus Maintenance 1st Edition (2003))

Author/Publisher: Don Henry
ISBN 10: 0-87939-219-3

This text is the essential manual for both the emergency services technician and the operator. It elaborates and expands the knowledge and skills outlined in NFPA® 1071, Standard for Emergency Vehicle Technician Professional Qualifications, by focusing on the inspection, servicing, maintenance, and repair of those systems that are unique to fire service pumping apparatus. It also covers the preventative maintenance required for fire department pumpers as outlined in NFPA® 1915, Standard for Fire Apparatus Preventative Maintenance Program, by giving detailed explanations for how and why such a program needs to be implemented.

As an added bonus, the text also justifies NFPA® 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, as it relates to maintenance. Included with the manual is a CD-ROM containing appendices on maintenance recommendations for major brands of fire pumps and inspection equipment, thus completing all of the information needed to maintain pumping apparatus to meet the NFPA® standards. These appendices are not printed in the manual.
