...in the beginning Fail Safe Testing is the nation's # 1 fire hose testing service and has successfully been in business for over 21 years. Originally started by Tim Somers, a career firefighter, Fail Safe began as a service to aid fire departments that did not have the time or the personnel to adequately test their fire hose. In 1989 we began operations in Monmouth County, NJ testing several thousand feet of hose for a few fire departments. Since then, we have become industry leaders, testing million upon millions of feet of fire hose each and every year. Now Fail Safe also offers ground ladder testing to complement our service offerings. The National Fire Protection Association guidelines require that all fire hose and ground ladders be tested annually. In recent years many townships and cities have begun to realize that it is both essential and prudent to make sure often used equipment will perform as required during critical times. As most firefighters know, having a hose or ground ladder fail during a fire is a potentially dangerous and time consuming problem. The time it takes to replace a blown length of hose or stretch another line could be the difference between life and death. Fail Safe utilizes proprietary fire hose test equipment that we developed to maximize the amount of hose tested to industry standards at one time. We know all there is to know about fire hose and ground ladders. We are known as the company who gets the job done quickly, professionally and efficiently. Our customers have told us time and again, we are the most diligent and best at what we do. Personnel Fail Safe use its own employees to do the work. Every one of our employees goes through a rigorous training regimen. We promote our supervisors from within after years of service where they learn all facets of fire hose and ground ladder testing. We train at our facilities, and on-the-job, and every crew member is taught to be diligent, clean, and thorough in the pursuit of customer satisfaction and safety. Our employees average OVER 4 years service on all crews. Our Crew Supervisors average over 7 years. Why You Need Fail Safe
