Paris Fire Department Completes Annual Pump Testing
Paris, Tenn.–The Paris Fire Department recently completed its annual pump testing at Williams Lake in Paris. Pump testing is an important part of keeping the department’s fleet ready to respond. Each fire truck’s pump is tested to ensure it can deliver the water pressure and flow needed to fight fires safely and effectively. Using Williams Lake as the water source, firefighters put each pump through a series of performance checks under different operating conditions. Chief Jamie Hinson said, “Regular testing helps us make sure our trucks and equipment are ready to perform when you need us. Thank you to our firefighters for their continued work in maintaining our department’s readiness!” Paris FD photo.
