Which item is NOT typically included on a weekly fire apparatus record?

• A. Gauge calibration log
• B. PUMP PRESSURE CONTROL DEVICE
• C. Foam transfer pump
• D. Intake strainers

Answer: (A)

The weekly apparatus record is about confirming the pump and related equipment are ready for immediate operation. Items you’d typically check or document weekly include components involved in pumping and foam deployment, such as the foam transfer pump (to ensure foam capability is ready), intake strainers (to prevent debris from entering the pump and to maintain proper suction), and the pump pressure control device (to verify the pump will maintain the correct discharge pressure during operation).

A gauge calibration log, on the other hand, is a maintenance record used to verify that gauges read accurately, which is usually scheduled less frequently (monthly or quarterly) and kept as part of instrument calibration documentation rather than a weekly readiness check. Therefore, the gauge calibration log is not typically included on a weekly fire apparatus record.
