As a fire pump dealer, we have a unique perspective on the life of a fire pump. We operate and test new equipment and are often called in to replace and repair old pumps. They are often asked when is the best time to replace a specific fire pump, or how long to wait for a new fire pump. Therefore, these questions gave life to the idea of writing about the life expectancy of a fire pump. In this article, we will focus on the fire pump itself, not the motors, controllers, motors, or other items that are often found in an engine room.

We are often interested in drawing industry attention to important future developments in fire protection. Today’s topic is about an effective and innovative solution to reduce arc flash risk in fire pump controllers. In this article, we will discuss electrical fire pump control devices.
