Your Guide to
Public
Transportation
Page 1
Introduction
New Jersey, and West Orange in particular, enjoys the
benefits of an excellent public transportation system.
West Orange On The Go! has developed Your Guide
to Public Transportation to help West Orange’s senior
citizens understand available transportation resources.
Public transportation is a safe and economical way to
visit family and friends and to travel to stores,
restaurants, doctors’ offices and many other
destinations. Riding the bus and train can be much
easier than fighting traffic and searching for a parking
space. Public transportation helps us maintain our
independence. We can make our own travel decisions
without having to rely on other people.
For people who drive there are many services available
to help us do so safely and comfortably. Cars have
changed and so have traffic rules, driving conditions,
and the roads we travel every day. Some common
age- related changes can affect driving as well.
We wish to thank the Township and local organizations
who helped develop this Guide. Organizations include
Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, JCC
MetroWest & the Jewish Community Housing
Corporation. Major funding for West Orange On The
Go! was provided by a grant from the Jewish
Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest NJ.

Local Bus Service in West Orange
Two local NJ TRANSIT bus routes travel through
West Orange. Transfers can be made to other
bus lines on Main St. in West Orange and Orange
and at the Livingston Mall. They operate seven
days a week, but schedules are different on
weekends.
The #73 travels from Livingston Mall through
Livingston, West Orange, Orange, East Orange
and into Newark Penn Station.
The #71 travels from West Caldwell through
Caldwell, Essex Fells, Roseland, Livingston,
West Orange, Orange, East Orange and into
Newark Penn Station.
NJ TRANSIT buses are accessible: they “kneel” to
lower the height of the first step and have lifts for
any riders who cannot use steps. Passengers must
ask the driver to kneel the bus or use the lift.
NJ TRANSIT “mybus”
The mybus service tells customers when the next
buses are scheduled to arrive at local bus stops.
To Use “mybus”
Call (973) 275-5555 and follow the prompt to dial
the mybus stop ID #. Mybus will then tell you when
the next bus is scheduled to arrive at your stop.
Bus Map on pages 9/10 shows local bus stops.

NJ TRANSIT Reduced Fare Program
Individuals age 62 and over as well as people with
disabilities can save at least 50% on NJ TRANSIT
by using the Reduced Fare Program.
To receive the reduced fare there are two options:
Show the bus operator or train conductor an ID
that is proof of your age (driver’s license or
Medicare card) and ask for “the reduced fare.”
You may also apply for a Reduced Fare ID
Card by calling NJ TRANSIT at (973) 491-7112.
What are “Fare Zones”?
Your bus fare is determined by zones, which are
the distances that you travel. Zones are shown on
the bus schedules with a special line and notation
so you know your fare in advance. You may also
call (973) 275-5555 to confirm bus fares and other
travel information. The bus operator will tell you
how much your fare is when boarding.

Access Link
NJ TRANSIT operates Access Link for customers with
disabilities who cannot use the regular NJ TRANSIT
bus. Some seniors may be eligible for Access Link.
Access Link operates on the same days and hours as
the regular NJ TRANSIT bus and “shadows” the local
bus routes.
Access Link has special
features:
Small buses and cars
provide “curb-to-curb”
service.
Appointments for trips must
be made by the rider or other designee at least 24
hours in advance.
Access Link can be used for any type of trip -
medical, social, shopping, etc.
Please request if you want to ride with a
companion who will pay regular fare or a Personal
Care Attendant (PCA) who can ride for free.
The Access Link Assessment Process
Potential riders must have an in-person
transportation assessment interview.
To arrange an assessment interview at local office,
call (800) 955-2321.
A certification specialist will explain the
assessment process over the phone.
Bring an advocate (family, friend or professional)
to the interview to help you describe your situation.
If you need transportation to the interview, Access
Link will pick you up for a round-trip fare of $4.00.
Page 6
Plan your trip in advance using a trip planner at
njtransit.com or googlemaps.com/transit or
speak to a live operator at customer service.
Keep copies of the schedules for the lines you
use. You can order schedules or plan your trip
with NJ TRANSIT Customer Service by calling
(973) 275-5555. You can look at schedules
online at njtransit.com, coachusa.com.
Bring exact fare and extra change with you.
Also bring any medications you may need
during a trip, your ID Card, the address of your
destination, and emergency phone numbers.
Always get to the bus stop early. It is better to
be 15 minutes early than 15 seconds late!
Sit near the bus operator, if possible, so you
can easily communicate, see the road ahead
and hear any announcements.
Keep aisles clear of bags and packages.
Tell a friend or family member where you are
going and when you plan to return.
Never plan to take the last bus home.

Dear Valued Readers,
Welcome to the 36th edition of the Seniors Blue
Book. With each passing edition the Seniors Blue
Book continues to grow in size, accessibility, and
information. I want to offer you my heart felt thanks
for continuing to turn to and trust the Seniors Blue
Book as your primary go to source for anything and
everything that is related to seniors, caregivers and
their well being.
It is our mission to provide you with all possible
options and opportunities that are available in an easy
to read format. The guide is broken down into three
main sections; Community Resources and Services,
Home Health Care & Non-Medical Home Care Agen-
cies and Senior Housing. We include definitions of
these services and indicate which companies offer these
in the appropriate Home Health and Housing Grids.
We continue to offer the Solutions for Seniors
resource help line at 973-560-0064 for those
that need help navigating the information within
our publication and website and to offer FREE
assistance to those that wish to ask for our
information assistance.
SeniorsBlueBook.com is our dynamic website that
will not only offer all of the information listed in the
Seniors Blue Book, but empower the viewer to find lo-
cal events and activities and post their own events and
activities. The community calendars will be interac-
tive and I am expecting avid participation from both
seniors and their providers. SeniorsBlueBook.com will
also be offering senior professionals their own senior
calendar for networking opportunities, promotion of
their own events and job opportunities. The commu-
nity calendars are only a smidgen of the new informa-
tion that will be available on SeniorsBlueBook.com.
Please log on and check it out for yourself. I promise
that you will bookmark SeniorsBlueBook.com and
come back again and again. Thank you for your con-
tinued support and give me a call or an e-mail if you
have any suggestions or comments that will further
enhance the Seniors Blue Book.
Sincerely,
LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

ADULT DAY SERVICES
Adult day programs are for elders who need a place to stay during daytime
hours because they have difficulty functioning alone (i.e. dementia or physical
limitations). The programs offer purpose and stimulation. Most facilities place
participants into groups with specific limitations. For more information call
our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEMS
A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an electronic device
designed to let you summon help in an emergency. A PERS has three
components: a small radio transmitter (a help button carried or worn by the
user); a console connected to the user’s telephone; and an emergency response
center that monitors calls. When emergency help (medical, fire, or police) is
needed, the PERS user presses the transmitter’s help button. It sends a radio
signal to the console. The console automatically dials an emergency response
center where the caller is identified. The center will try to determine the nature

of the emergency. If the center cannot contact you or determine whether an
emergency exists, it will alert emergency service providers to go to your home.

HOSPICES
Hospices provide individuals facing terminal illness with clinical and psycho/
social care at home or in a healthcare facility. The mission of hospice is to assist
patients and allow them to live the last stage of their lives with dignity; and
to supplement routine clinical care with expertise in pain control, symptom
management, grief and loss counseling, as well as support services. Most
hospices accept Medicare/Medicaid, insurance and private pay. For more
information call our Seniors Resource Line at 973-560-0064.

Save up to $102 on your Part B premium—one way
Humana may give back to you
A Medicare Advantage plan that may increase your benefits
and the money in your pocket
The HumanaChoice H5216-342 (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan includes a Part
B giveback. That means it may reduce your monthly Medicare Part B premium.
This could be either through a credit to your Social Security check or by reducing
the monthly amount you pay directly to Medicare, depending on how you pay
your premium.
Besides potentially saving you money with the giveback, the plan may help you
reach your health goals, with benefits you might not get with Original Medicare,
such as:
• Part B premium reduction, for $102 more in Social Security each month
• $0 monthly plan premium
• Advanced imaging, X-rays and lab work

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
(Parts A, B & Medigap Plans)
Original Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for
people age 65 and older. It has four main parts: A, B, C & D. The chart below
is an example of how Parts A & B work together with a traditional
Medicare supplement also known as a “Medigap Plan.”
Medicare
Part A
Hospital Insurance
Generally no cost
(If you paid Medicare taxes
while working)
$1,632 deductible
(per benefit period)
It is possible to pay the
$1632 deductible and other
daily charges for multiple
stays & extended care.
Plan covers: Inpatient
hospital care, home health
care services, hospice, in-
patient skilled nursing & more.
Providers are paid
by Medicare assignment.
No coverage outside USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Medicare
Part B
Medical Insurance
Most people pay
monthly $174.90
(Premium could be higher
based on income)
$240 annual deductible.
(this can increase each year)
80/20 after deductible.
Plan covers: health care
providers, ambulance,
emergency care, outpatient
surgical, wellness &
other Medicare approved
benefits
Most doctors accept
Medicare.
No coverage outside the USA.
No out-of-pocket maximum.
Many people add a Medigap
plan, Part D or an Advan-
tage Plan (Part C) to fill the
“gaps” in the coverage.
Supplemental Policy
Plans A - N
Medigap
Premium varies by company,
age, location & other factors.
Guarantee Issue at
initial enrollment
(Other special enrollment
periods may be avalable)
These plans generally pay
the 20% not covered
by Part B & other
Medicare eligible benefits
When this coordinates with
Medicare, many benefits are
100% covered
Can provide benefits
outside USA
Plans are available through
insurance companies.
Important to add Part D plan
to cover prescription drugs &
avoid penalties.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
There is NO additional cost to use the services of a full time insurance professional.
Please call us or a broker in your local area for additional assistance.
This article was written by Craig N. Anderson, President of
Anderson Benefits, Inc. located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Medicare 2024 “In A Nutshell”
Med Advantage (Part C) with RX (Part D)
Medicare Advantage plans are governed by Medicare. They are only offered through
insurance companies that have an annual contract with Medicare. They are NOT the
same as Medigap policies. They must cover all Medicare approved services.
Most Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage.
Advantage Plans
Part C
INSTEAD of a Medigap Plan (A-N)
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Part B premium $174.70 is still paid
(Premium can be higher
depending on income)
There are many plan types available:
PPO, HMO, HSA, etc.
Plans have co-pays and / or coinsurance
for covered benefits & services.
Preventive care is covered 100%.
Plans have an annual
out-of pocket maximum.
Plans may have additional services and
discounts, including dental, vision,
gym membership & more.
There is an Annual Election Period (AEP)
which runs from October 15–December
7 of each year. This is the time to make
changes in company or coverage.
Must have Part A & B to enroll.
Medicare
Part D
Drug Program
Premium varies by company and coverage.
(Same premium for all ages).
Plans are generally a variation of the following:
Deductible (Phase I)
$0–$545 deductible
Initial Coverage (Phase II)
co-pay coverage until the total
cost of the drugs = $5,030
Coverage Gap / Doughnut Hole (Phase III)
The member now pays much more for covered drugs
25% generic / 25% brand. There is a drug
manufacture discount on certain drugs that can
count toward the “True out-of-pocket” (TrOOP).
You remain here until the $8,000 (TrOOP) has
been met. It’s estimated you will pay about
$3,300 of the $8,000.
Catastrophic Coverage (Phase IV)
$0 for covered drugs on the plan’s formulary
for the rest of the calandar year
Approved formulary insulins are no more
than $35 per month.
Part D can be separate with Medigap & PFFS plans.
There is a penalty for late enrollment into Part D.
Annual Election Period is Oct 15–Dec 7 each year
Must have Part A or B to enroll.

the certificate / Medicare will control. Prepared 10/2023

NFPA 1915
Standard for
Fire Apparatus Preventive Maintenance Program
2000 Edition
This edition of NFPA 1915, Standard for Fire Apparatus Preventive Maintenance Program, was
prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Department Apparatus and acted on by the
National Fire Protection Association, Inc., at its World Fire Safety Congress and Exposition™
held May 14-17, 2000, in Denver, CO. It was issued by the Standards Council on July 20, 2000,
with an effective date of August 18, 2000.
This edition of NFPA 1915 was approved as an American National Standard on August 18,
2000.
Origin and Development of NFPA 1915
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report “Special Investigation Report-
Emergency Fire Apparatus,” adopted March 19, 1991, raised concerns about the quality and
type of service and repair being done on fire apparatus. Subsequent inquiries from the Fed-
eral Department of Transportation (DOT) about the different types, uses, and weights of
apparatus and how they are maintained prompted the International Association of Fire
Chiefs (IAFC) Apparatus Maintenance Section to petition the NFPA to write a preventive
maintenance standard for fire apparatus. NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational
Safety and Health Program, also requires fire departments to establish a preventive maintenance
program for their apparatus and equipment.
This first edition of NFPA 1915, Standard for Fire Apparatus Preventive Maintenance Program,
was developed to provide the minimum requirements for a preventive maintenance program
for fire apparatus. Implementation of the requirements in the standard should improve the
safety and reliability of fire apparatus and support the requirements in other NFPA standards
dealing with emergency vehicle maintenance programs.

ing procedures
10.2.2 The complete inspections and tests including the non-
destructive testing (NDT) defined in NFPA 1914, Standard for
Testing Fire Department Aerial Devices, shall be conducted at least
every 5 years. NDT shall be conducted whenever visual inspec-
tion or load testing indicates a potential problem or when
there is a desire to further confirm continued operational
safety.
10.3 Braking System.
10.3.1 Testing of the braking system, including antilock brake
systems and auxiliary brake systems, shall be conducted at a pre-
scribed interval, not to exceed the manufacturer's recommen-
dations, at least annually, or whenever adjustments, repairs, or
modifications have been performed on any component that
can affect the proper operation of the braking system or sys-
tems. All testing shall be conducted at a location and in a man-
ner that does not violate local, state, or federal traffic laws.
10.3.2* The braking system test procedure shall be as follows:
(1) Lay out a course that is 12 ft (3.7 m) wide with a start and
stop line, with the stop line showing the stopping dis-
tance for the type of vehicle (see Table 10.3.2).
(2) Approach the start line with the vehicle being tested cen-
tered in the course and at a speed of 20 mph (32 kmph).
(3) Apply the service brake firmly as the vehicle's front
bumper crosses the start line.
(4) Observe whether the vehicle comes to a smooth stop
within prescribed distance without pulling to the right or
left beyond limits.
The vehicle stopping distance shall be not greater than that
given in Table 10.3.2, and the vehicle shall not pull to the left
or right across the sides of the course boundaries.

Appendix A Explanatory Material
Appendix A is not a part of the requirements of this NFPA docu-
ment but is included for informational purposes only. This appendix
contains explanatory material, numbered to correspond with the appli-
cable text paragraphs.
A.1.3.3 Authority Having Jurisdiction. The phrase “authority
having jurisdiction” is used in NFPA documents in a broad man-
ner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their
responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the authority
having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local, or other
regional department or individual such as a fire chief; fire mar-
shal; chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor department, or
health department; building official; electrical inspector; or
others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an
insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other
insurance company representative may be the authority having
jurisdiction. In many circumstances, the property owner or his
or her designated agent assumes the role of the authority hav-
ing jurisdiction; at government installations, the commanding
officer or departmental official may be the authority having
jurisdiction.
A.1.3.22 Optical Source. An optical source can consist of a
single optical element or a fixed array of any number of opti-
cal elements where geometric positioning relative to each
other is fixed by the manufacturer of the optical source and
cannot be easily modified.
A.1.3.23 Overhaul. Overhaul does not normally return an
item to like-new condition.
A.2.1.1 If the fire apparatus manufacturer is no longer in busi-
ness, or the servicing and maintenance criteria or recommenda-
tions are no longer available from the manufacturer, the fire
department should establish the criteria that are necessary to
inspect and maintain that piece of fire apparatus. These criteria
can be established by discussing inspection and maintenance
procedures for similar types or styles of fire apparatus or com-
ponents with persons experienced with such maintenance and
by reviewing the industry standards that were in effect at the
time the fire apparatus or component was built. The criteria
should be developed in writing.
The Vehicle Inspection Handbook, Passenger Cars & Light
Trucks, and the Vehicle Inspection Handbook, Truck/Bus/School
Bus, prepared by the American Automobile Manufacturers
Association in cooperation with the American Association of
Motor Vehicle Administrators, provide a valuable resource in
developing an inspection program.
A.2.1.3 During an inspection, the technician should conduct
an operational check of the entire apparatus to detect abnor-
mal vibrations that could indicate a component defect or pos-
sible failure.
A.2.1.4 Some deficiencies or problems might or might not
make the apparatus unsafe but will render it unusable for
some operations. The authority having jurisdiction should
provide a list of conditions under which the apparatus can
continue to be used pending repair of the deficiency.
A.2.1.4.1 The following deficiencies or problems might or
might not make the apparatus unsafe but will render it unus-
able for some operations. The authority having jurisdiction
should provide a list of conditions under which the apparatus
can continue to be used pending repair of the deficiency:
(1) Compartment doors won't stay closed.
(2) Running boards are not secure.
(3) Tailboard is not secure.
(4) Accessory step (folding step) is broken or missing.
Although this standard identifies that cracked or broken
windshields and mirrors should be consideration for taking
the apparatus out of service, consideration should also be
given to state or local regulations. The authority having juris-
diction should identify the state and local regulations that per-
tain and follow them to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.
A.2.1.4.2. Tire defects include but are not limited to the fol-
lowing: punctures, cuts to the cord, bulges other than bumps
or repairs, repair bulges greater than 3/8 in. (10 mm), bulges
or knots associated with tread, or sidewall separation.
Tread depth should be checked with a tread depth gauge.
When inserted into the tire tread, the amount of tread left will
be indicated in thirty-seconds of an inch.
A.2.1.4.3 See A.3.4.6 and A.3.6.
Loss of power can be the result of numerous items related
to the engine, fuel system, and air intake system. Loss of power
can be associated with loud or unusual noises. Loud or
unusual noises can be the result of worn, damaged, or defec-
tive internal engine components such as main and connecting
rod bearings, connecting rods, piston pins, broken or dam-
aged pistons, defective valve train, and fuel system. Loss of
power can be the result of something as simple as clogged fuel
or air filters. Inspection of the air intake restriction gauge will
allow determination of the condition of the air intake system.
Many vehicles, especially those with water fuel separators, have
both audible and visual indicators to show failure of fuel sys-
tem filters or the presence of excessive water. Another indica-
tor of factors resulting in loss of power is engine exhaust
smoke. As a rule, white smoke indicates a cooling system leak
into the combustion area; blue smoke indicates excessive oil
consumption, normally engine oil but in some applications
1915-17
transmission fluid; and black smoke indicates excessive
unburned fuel. In any case, any one of the aforementioned
items can deter from proper and safe operation of the vehicle
and should therefore be remedied as soon as possible.
A.2.1.4.6 Burned-out lamps and other deficiencies should be
corrected immediately. While all systems have a degree of
redundancy, they are not designed to operate with multiple
deficiencies. When more than one optical source in the warn-
ing light system is inoperative or the audible warning system is
inoperative and the apparatus must be used, it should be
driven as a non-emergency vehicle.
A.2.1.4.7.1 Item 2.1.4.7.1(1) refers to the leak-down rate of
the supply side of the air system. Item 2.1.4.7.1(2) refers to the
leak-down rate of the applied side of the air system. Item
2.1.4.7.1(8) refers to the air compressor's ability to supply
ample air for correct and safe operation of the vehicle.
Although this standard identifies out-of-service criteria for
air brake systems, consideration should also be given to state
or local regulations. The authority having jurisdiction should
identify the state and local regulations that pertain and follow
them to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.
Lining thickness of less than 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) for a brake
shoe with a continuous strip of lining, 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) to the
wear indicator for a shoe with two pads for drum brakes, or
disc pads with less than 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) of lining should be
considered worn out and should be replaced.
A.2.1.4.7.2 Although this standard identifies out-of-service cri-
teria for hydraulic brake systems, consideration should also be
given to state or local regulations. The authority having jurisdic-
tion should identify the state and local regulations that pertain
and follow them to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.
Lining thickness of less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) for a brake
shoe or disk should be considered worn out and should be
replaced.
A.2.1.4.8 The following deficiencies or problems might or
might not make the apparatus unsafe but will render it unus-
able for some operations. The authority having jurisdiction
should provide a list of conditions under which the apparatus
can continue to be used pending repair of the deficiency:
(1) Discharge valves that are stuck closed and will not open
(2) Valve linkage that is missing or broken
(3) Pump shaft seals that leak beyond the manufacturer's
specifications
(4) Pump piping that is leaking, which affects the perfor-
mance of the pump operations
(5) Pressure indicating devices that are defective
(6) Valves that are leaking
(7) Pump panel throttle that is found not operational
(8) Water tank lid that leaks
(9) Water level indicator that is defective
(10) Structural components that are defective
(11) Restraining system that is defective
A.2.1.4.9 The following deficiencies or problems might or
might not make the apparatus unsafe but will render it unus-
able for some operations. The authority having jurisdiction
should provide a list of conditions under which the apparatus
can continue to be used pending repair of the deficiency:
(1) Hydraulic relief valve that is defective
(2) Hydraulic system components that are defective
(3) Emergency hydraulic system that is defective
(4) Visual and audible alarm systems that are defective
(5) Aerial lighting system that is defective
(6) Aerial intercom system that is defective
(7) Rollers and slides that are worn beyond manufacturer's
recommendations
(8) Rotation bearing that has clearances beyond the manu-
facturer's recommendations
(9) Labels or warning signs that are defective
(10) Aerial water delivery system that is defective
A.2.3.1 Any person performing inspections or maintenance
should meet the qualifications of NFPA 1002, Standard for Fire
Apparatus Driver/Operator Professional Qualifications. Additional
qualifications can be identified by schooling, training, experi-
ence, and recognized certification programs such as those
administered by Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), Emer-
gency Vehicle Technician Certification Commission, Inc.
(EVT), or other equivalent certifying agencies.
A.2.4.1 One area where there are regulations in the United
States is in the area of tire and wheel service, which is covered
under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations defined in 29 CFR 1910.177.
A.2.5 Although this standard identifies the need for record
retention, consideration should be given to state and local rules
and regulations. The authority having jurisdiction should iden-
tify the state and local regulations that pertain to record reten-
tion and follow them as a minimum. It is strongly recommended
that all records be kept for the life of the vehicle.
A.3.1 It is suggested that the authority having jurisdiction
develop a specific table of inspection and maintenance fre-
quencies and designate who is responsible for each inspection
or maintenance procedure. Table A.3.1 is a sample table for
the axle, tire, and wheel components. An “O” designates the
operator as responsible for the procedure, and a “T” desig-
nates a technician as responsible.
A.3.3.3 It is important that tire inflation be maintained to ±5 psi
of the fire apparatus manufacturer's recommended tire pres-
sure, which is based on the weight of the completed apparatus,
and not to the maximum pressure shown on the sidewall of the
tire.
A.3.3.5 Wheel-attaching hardware should be torqued at the
time of wheel installation to the manufacturer's recommenda-
tion. The wheel- or rim-attaching hardware should then be
retorqued 50 to 100 miles after installation and periodically
thereafter. Wheel covers or nut covers might have to be
removed for proper inspection.

A.3.4.6 To ensure efficient engine performance and extended
valve and injector service life, a scheduled valve lash and injec-
tor height measurement and adjustment schedule should be
maintained. Certain engines might also require nozzle and
pump calibration, timing, replacement of spark plugs, ignition
system tests, or other adjustments.
It is imperative that all engine components and accessories
that can affect engine performance be inspected, adjusted,
and maintained. Visual inspections along with air restrictions
tests performed on a regular scheduled basis will ensure
proper operating components. Examples of engine perfor-
mance concerns are abnormal black, blue, or white exhaust
smoke or abnormal engine noises.
There might be other pertinent tests required for the
engine to perform at maximum efficiency on an emergency
scene. All recommended tests and adjustments should be per-
formed to ensure proper operation.
Failure to perform factory-recommended engine adjust-
ments or inspections at the required initial period and at reg-
ular intervals thereafter and to make necessary adjustments or
part replacements (i.e., spark plugs on gas engines) might
result in gradual degradation of engine performance and
reduced fuel combustion efficiency.
A.3.6 Fuel systems are essential components of the engine.
To ensure that the engine is capable of obtaining proper
performance and operation, the fuel system should be
inspected and tested to the manufacturer's specifications.
Quality fuel must be utilized. The fuel filters (primary and
secondary if equipped) should be replaced or serviced on a
regular basis, normally recommended at six-month inter-
vals or at every oil change. Fuel pressure should be tested
utilizing factory-recommended procedures. Fuel spill-back
(return) should also be included in fuel system checks.
Some manufacturers recommend a fuel suction test be per-
formed to test the suction capabilities of the fuel pump and
suction side of the fuel system.
A.3.6.6 All linkage should be inspected for freedom of move-
ment, adjustment, full throttle position, idle position, and
smooth operation.
A.3.12.1 Severe duty (conditions) scheduling applies to brake
system maintenance due to the normal hard braking encoun-
tered with fire apparatus.
A brake maintenance schedule for each fire apparatus
should be set after the brakes have been inspected several
times. This schedule should include both minor inspections
and major inspections as follows.
(a) For minor inspections, the brakes, brake linings or
pads, and slack adjusters should be inspected for freedom of
movement, security of mounting, and deformation and
should be tested for proper operation. The slack adjuster
should be lubricated according to a schedule that gives the
most frequent inspection and lubrication based on one of the
following:
(1) The schedule for chassis lubrication used by your fire
department
(2) The schedule for chassis lubrication recommended by
the manufacturer of the chassis
(3) At least four times during the life of the linings
(b) Major inspections should be performed whenever the
brakes are relined, or at least once a year, whichever comes
first. Major inspections should include the following:
1915-19
(1) All the procedures, inspections, and measurements rec-
ommended by the manufacturer for relining the brakes
(2) Lubrication of the slack adjuster and caliper (if equipped)
(3) Adjustment of the brakes as described in the manufac-
turer's literature
A.3.14.8 Starting with the 1996 edition of NFPA 1901, Stan-
dard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, the low-voltage alarm is
required to sound if the system voltage at the battery or at the
master load disconnect switch drops below 11.8 V for a 12-V
nominal system or 23.6 V for a 24-V nominal system for more
than 120 seconds (2 minutes). This alarm can be tested easily
by loading the electrical system, at idle, and waiting for the
alarm to sound. In many cases, once the alarm has sounded,
the fire apparatus's engine will proceed to fast idle to recuper-
ate the voltage loss.
A.4.1 Fire pumps are required to be service tested at least
annually and after certain repairs. The purpose of the opera-
tional tests defined in this chapter is not to duplicate the tests
required in the annual service test but to ensure the compo-
nent is functionally working.
A.4.3.1 Components of the pump drive system could include
but are not be limited to the following:
(1) Split shaft PTO
(2) Pump transmission
(3) Pump transfer case
(4) Power takeoff
(5) Pump clutch
(6) Pump drive shafts
(7) Hydraulic drive systems
(8) Auxiliary drive engine
A.4.3.2 Some pumps have manual backup shift controls.
Those controls need to be inspected, operationally tested, and
lubricated as part of a preventive maintenance program.
A.6.7.1 Special attention should be paid to the cleanliness
and security of engine covers, cooling fins, and fans on air-
cooled engines, as they are critical to the proper operation of
the engine.
A.7.1 It is important for the operator, maintenance person-
nel, and fire apparatus technician to understand the types and
properties of mechanical foam and its application to maintain
a foam proportioning system. Specific information regarding
foam concentrates, their corrosive concerns, biodegradability,
and their application is available in NFPA 11, Standard for Low-
Expansion Foam. Information on foam concentrates for Class A
fires is available in NFPA 1150, Standard on Fire-Fighting Foam
Chemicals for Class A Fuels in Rural, Suburban, and Vegetated Areas.
A thorough knowledge of foam and foam systems will enhance
the ability to maintain systems in peak operating conditions at
all times.
There are many designs for foam proportioning systems.
These systems include but are not limited to the following:
(1) Eductor systems
(2) Self-educting master stream nozzles
(3) Intake-side foam proportioning systems
(4) Around-the-pump foam proportioning systems
(5) Balanced pressure foam proportioning systems
(6) Direct injection foam proportioning systems
NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, describes
these systems and variations thereof in Appendix A. A review
of that material will assist with the understanding of foam pro-
portioning systems.
A.7.3.1 Most foam system manufacturers differentiate in the
materials they recommend for foam proportioning system
components that are designed to be flushed with water after
operation and those components that are intended to be wet-
ted continuously with foam concentrate (i.e., some positive
displacement pumps are designed to be completely full of
foam concentrate).
A.8.3.2 It is very important that the proper pressure balance
be maintained between the fire pump and the air compressor
or air system, as failure to maintain a balance could become a
safety issue.
A.8.4.2 Special attention should be paid to the cleanliness
and security of engine covers, cooling fins, and fans on air-
cooled engines, as they are critical to the proper operation of
the engine.
A.9.9.1 Special attention should be paid to the cleanliness
and security of engine covers, cooling fins, and fans on air-
cooled engines, as they are critical to the proper operation of
the engine.

area.

A.10.4 The parking brake should be tested to the manufac-
turer's recommendations. NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive
Fire Apparatus, has required a parking brake system to hold a
fully loaded apparatus on at least a 20 percent grade since
1991. If the fire apparatus parking brake system was not
1915-20
FIRE APPARATUS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
designed to perform up to these or applicable federal stan-
dards or if the authority having jurisdiction operates the appa-
ratus beyond these standards, the authority having jurisdiction
should develop a standard operating guideline to supplement
the apparatus parking brake system.
A.10.5 As part of a road test, the driver might wish to replicate
the test that was required when the apparatus was manufac-
tured. Since 1968, NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire
Apparatus, has required the following test.
The apparatus is fully equipped and loaded as required by the
appropriate edition of NFPA 1901. The test is conducted on dry,
level, paved roads that are in good condition, and the engine is
not operated in excess of the maximum governed speed. The test
consists of two runs in opposite directions over the same route.
The apparatus should be able to attain the following:
(1) A true speed of 35 mph (56 kmph) from a standing start
within 25 seconds, except that prior to 1991 an apparatus
carrying over 800 gal (3000 L) of water or equipped with an
aerial ladder or elevating platform was allowed 30 seconds
(2) A minimum top speed of not less than 50 mph (80 kmph)
