FIRE DEPARTMENTS: Using Chapter 19 of NFPA 1911 and 1932 as guidelines, CFS performs nondestructive testing and inspection for fire department aerial ladders, platforms and ground ladders.

After completion of tests, all units will have a complete written report with a digital picture of unit on the cover page and serious defects will have a picture in the summary page. Reports can also be given in CD form if desired. You will receive this report on-site same day as the inspection.

CFS will provide a Certificate of Inspection after needed repairs are made.
