Protecting Those Who Protect Others

At FSST, we do more than test ladders. We bring real fireground experience to every inspection. Our team is made up of firefighters, not temporary labor, because your safety deserves proven knowledge and expertise.

We deliver full NFPA-, OSHA-, and PESH-compliant services, including testing, inspections, labeling, and on-site repairs, something most companies can’t offer. While others fail ladders and walk away, we fix issues in the field to keep your equipment in service. Manufacturers themselves often refer departments to FSST for repairs.

Backed by over 50 years of fire service experience, we proudly serve departments across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Experience matters. Service matters. FSST delivers.

Fire Service Safety Testing, Inc. has been protecting firefighters and ensuring equipment reliability since 1990 — serving fire departments for over 36 years. We provide professional ground ladder and fall protection equipment testing, inspection, and repair services that keep your teams safe and your equipment compliant with NFPA, OSHA, and PESH standards.

Our President and CEO, Steve Speer, has more than 52 years of experience as a firefighter and has written the standard on testing with leading manufacturers including Alco Lite, Duo Safety, and Little Giant. Steve is currently a member of the NFPA’s Ground Ladders Testing Board.

We have tested more than 65,000 ladders for over 700 clients across the Northeast, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. We can usually accomplish your ladder testing, any needed repairs or service, and fall protection equipment inspection all in one site visit. We can often do all this without taking any of your rigs out of service. Call or Text us today at (585) 392-7373
