Answer should include at least five of the following:
All water supply valves are sealed (locked) in the open position.
Power is available to the fire pump, and it is in operating condition.
Individual hose valves are free of paint, corrosion, and other impediments.
Individual hose valves are operable.
Hose valve threads are not damaged.
Hose valve wheels are present and not damaged.
Hose cabinets are accessible.
Hose (when present) is in good condition, is dry, and is properly positioned on the rack or reel.
Discharge outlets in dry systems are closed.
Dry standpipe is drained of moisture.
Access to the FDC is not blocked.
The FDC is free of obstruction, the swivels rotate freely, and caps are in place.
Water supply tanks are filled to the proper level.
If the system is equipped with pressure-regulating devices, those devices are tested as the manufacturer requires.
Dry-pipe systems are hydrostatically tested every 5 years.
