Before your department upgrades or refurbishes any automotive fire/rescue apparatus, consult NFPA 1912.

Protect personnel and safeguard your fire department's budget. Fire service leaders, engineers, designers, and anyone responsible for the health and safety of fire department personnel needs NFPA 1912: Standard for Fire Apparatus Refurbishing. This Standard contains requirements for two levels of fire department apparatus refurbishing, providing detailed information on all major components and systems. Provisions apply regardless of whether the refurbishing is done at the fire department or municipal maintenance facilities, or at the facilities of private contractors or apparatus manufacturers.

Save lives and money by maintaining the highest level of safety for refurbished fire fighting, rescue, and EMS equipment.

• Staying up-to-code with NFPA 1912 helps you improve the ability of apparatus to pass annual inspections as the vehicle ages.
• Compliance potentially saves the fire department money through smarter purchasing of new fire department apparatus.
• The 2016 edition is updated for consistency among other related Standards.
