FAQ

Fire pump FAQs — Oregon & Washington

Common questions from property managers and facility directors.

How often does a fire pump need to be inspected and tested in Oregon?

Per NFPA 25, fire pumps require weekly no-flow (churn) testing, monthly inspections, and annual flow testing. Oregon fire authorities follow these intervals. Annual flow testing is the most critical — it verifies your pump can deliver required pressure during an emergency.

What is a fire pump flow test?

A fire pump flow test measures the pump’s performance at multiple flow rates to verify it meets design specifications. Using a test header and flow meter, our technicians compare actual output against the pump’s rated pressure and flow — and document results for your AHJ.

What happens if my fire pump fails inspection in Oregon?

A failed inspection results in a deficiency report submitted to your AHJ. Depending on severity, this can affect your certificate of occupancy or insurance coverage. PDX Fire Protection identifies deficiencies during inspection and can often complete repairs the same visit.

What codes apply to fire pumps in Oregon and Washington?

Fire pump systems must comply with NFPA 20 (installation) and NFPA 25 (ITM). Local AHJs in Oregon and Washington may impose additional reporting requirements. Our technicians are familiar with AHJ expectations across the Portland metro and throughout both states.
