Hose section detail — section ID, length, diameter, last service test date, test pressure, pass/fail, section-of-apparatus assignment. Below: ladder service log with similar fields.

What it does

Test pressures next to the section that was tested.

Hose test data lives in a 3-ring binder in the chief's office. Ladder test data lives next to it. Nobody can find either binder when the section that's about to be put back in service fails.

Watchroom keeps test data next to the section it was tested on. Click the section, see its history. A failed test triggers retirement automatically — and surfaces on the next rig check so the apparatus officer knows.

How it works

Three things that change.

Integrations

Talks to every other module.

No CSV exports. No batch jobs. No manual reconciliation. When something happens in one module, the others know.

Apparatus & Fleet

Hose and ladder sections assigned per apparatus. Retired sections pull off the rig assignment.
