Fire Hydrant Inspection & Flow Testing Software

Fire hydrant inspection and flow testing software for fire protection contractors. Track hydrant locations with GPS, record flow test data, and schedule maintenance - all from your phone or tablet on site.

Complete fire hydrant inspection support

Fire hydrants require regular inspection and flow testing per NFPA 25 (Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems). FireInspected provides the digital workflow to capture everything on site.

Visual exterior inspection

• Barrel and bonnet condition - Check for cracks, rust, paint condition, and physical damage from vehicles or weather
• Operating nut and stem condition - Verify the operating nut is not rounded, rusted, or damaged and turns freely
• Outlet caps and gaskets - Check all caps are present, gaskets are in good condition, and threads are not damaged
• Visibility and access - Confirm the hydrant is visible and accessible - not blocked by landscaping, snow, or parked vehicles
• Drainage - Verify the hydrant drains properly after use to prevent freezing in cold climates

Flow testing data capture

• Static pressure reading - Record baseline pressure in the water main before flow begins
• Residual pressure reading - Measure pressure while water is flowing to assess main capacity
• Pitot tube flow measurement - Calculate flow rate (GPM) using pitot gauge readings and hydrant outlet coefficients
• GPS location tagging - Automatically tag each hydrant with GPS coordinates for mapping and routing
• Test date and technician record - All data timestamped and attributed for compliance documentation

Maintenance scheduling and deficiency tracking

• Lubrication schedule - Track when each hydrant was last lubricated and when it's next due
• Paint and marking schedule - Color-coded bonnet and caps per NFPA 291 for flow classification
• Deficiency flagging - Flag hydrants needing repair, out of service, or inoperable with deficiency notes
• Work order generation - Generate repair work orders directly from inspection notes
• Automated annual reminders - FireInspected reminds you when each hydrant is due for its next inspection
