Groton Long Point & Noank - Three testing services. One busy and beautiful day on the shoreline.

Yesterday, our Top Rung Testing crews had the privilege of working with the Groton Long Point Volunteer Fire Department and Noank Fire Department. While our EVT-certified technicians conducted pump testing with our mobile Weis Fire & Safety Equipment, LLC DRAFT COMMANDER, other crew members tested ground ladders and our hardworking hose technicians kept hose testing moving - all at the same time.

As testing is completed, the results go directly into each department’s client portal, keeping their records organized and accessible when they need them.

It was a beautiful day to get this work done ahead of the weekend’s nor’easter. Thank you to both departments for trusting our team, and to Groton Long Point Yacht Club for letting us use your parking area for testing. We appreciate the hospitality!

Our EVT-certified technicians understand fire-service equipment, know what signs of wear to look for and recognize when something deserves a closer inspection. From hose and ground ladders to pumps and aerial apparatus, every piece is evaluated with the care and attention it deserves.

Because annual testing isn’t simply about completing a requirement. It’s about helping departments understand the condition of their equipment and keeping it ready for the people who depend on it.

Experienced technicians. Thorough testing. Clear documentation.

That’s the Top Rung standard.
