Fire Apparatus Inspection Checklist
A Fire Equipment Inspection Checklist (Manufacturing) helps EHS managers and supervisors turn daily and weekly fire-safety checks into a clear, repeatable process. Instead of relying on memory, it lays out concise tasks across extinguishers, hose reels and hydrants, sprinkler systems, fire pumps, alarms and detectors, emergency lighting, egress routes, hot-work controls, and storage of flammables. Each item is simple to verify — from “extinguisher gauge in green” to “sprinkler control valves sealed open” — so nothing critical is missed.
For plants and warehouses, this checklist supports compliance with internal standards and local fire codes, reduces the risk of citations during inspections, and minimizes downtime from preventable incidents. It builds a consistent routine that keeps equipment ready, exit routes clear, and high-hazard areas (hot work, dust collection, charging stations) under control.
Supervisors gain an instant audit trail. The checklist documents what was checked, when, by whom, and what defects were found — plus assigned corrective actions and closure notes. That record can be essential during audits, insurance reviews, or incident investigations.
The template works both as a printable PDF for clipboards and in the TARGPatrol mobile app, where teams can capture photos, log readings, and add comments in real time. Mixed answer types — [Flag], [Number], [Media], [Text] — make it easy to record conditions, measurements, and evidence in one place. Used regularly, the checklist keeps equipment serviceable, improves response readiness, and helps your facility stay inspection-ready every day.
