Fire Hydrant Maintenance, Testing & Certification

State and local fire codes require maintenance, testing and certification of private and Mobile Home Park fire hydrants annually.  Hayden Fire Protection is certified to both flow test and certify your fire hydrants – ensuring your fire water hydrant works properly and you safely stay in compliance annually.  We service Chico and the Northern State including Butte & Tehama County.  Call us for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Why have your Private Fire Hydrants Certified?

The State Of California, Business, Transportation And Housing Agency, Department Of Housing And Community Development,
Division Of Codes And Standards require all parks to provide an Annual Private Fire Hydrant Test And Certification Report.
All residential mobile home parks must return this report to the enforcement agency for the MHP.
