Fire pumps ensure sufficient water pressure for standpipe and sprinkler systems—critical for high-rise buildings and facilities with low municipal water pressure. During a fire event, the pump activates automatically to provide the required flow and pressure for firefighting operations.
Otis Fire Protection provides certified fire pump inspection, testing, and maintenance services in full compliance with NFPA 20, NFPA 25, the B.C. Fire Code, and municipal bylaws. If you are searching for fire pump inspection near me, our experienced technicians deliver accurate testing, documentation, and corrective support.
NFPA 25 requires weekly visual inspections for electric and diesel fire pumps as part of ongoing system reliability and readiness.
