Fire Pump Inspection Report Sheet Template

Fire pumps are critical to a fire protection system and need to be inspected to make sure they’re in good working condition. This Fire Pump Inspection Report is divided into 2 sections: the owner’s section and the inspector’s section. The owner’s section asks the owner about the fire pump usage information. The inspector’s section was subdivided into 3 parts: tests, results and fire pump maintenance. Complete the inspection by having both the owner’s and the inspector’s signatures to validate the audit. Generate reports on the spot and share electronically using your mobile, tablet, or iPad.

Fire Pump Inspection Report Sheet Template

Owner's Section

Part I - Owner's Section

Is the pump in service?

Has the fire pump remained in service since the last inspection?

Was the system of which the fire pump is a part) free of actuation of devices or alarms since the last inspection?

Note to owner: Periodic tests of transfer switches and emergency generators are to be performed by a qualified electrical contractor.

2. Annual Tests

Annual pump test was run using the following method.

Method A: Discharge of flow through hose steams. Flow readings taken at each hose steam.

Method B: Discharge through by-pass flow meter to drian or suction reservoir. Flow readings taken by flow meter.

Method C: Discharge through by-pass flow meter directly returned to pump suction. Flow readings taken by flow meter.

NOTE: At least once every three years method A or B must be used.
