About this file
This is a Semi-Annual Inspection Report for water-based fire protection systems at VA Grand Junction Building 13, 2121 North Ave, Grand Junction, CO, completed on December 16, 2025. The inspection was conducted by James Trudeau of Platinum Fire Protection (PO Box 607, Mead, CO 80542) in accordance with NFPA 25 2011 standards for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.
The report documents 11 deficiencies across multiple categories. Control valve supervision deficiencies include unsecured and unsupervised lint trap backflow valves (Deficiency #1), lack of proper valve identification signage (Deficiencies #2 and #3), and specific valve issues at the break room location where two ball valves (1-1/4" lint trap backflows #1 and #2) and one 1" butterball valve lack seals, supervision, or signage (Deficiencies #9, #10, and #11). System condition deficiencies include two gauges requiring replacement (Deficiency #4). Testing deficiencies involve missing inspector's test valves on the riser's flow switch (Deficiency #7) and lint trap system flow (Deficiency #8), preventing proper waterflow alarm testing for both mechanical and electrical devices (Deficiencies #5 and #6). All alarm testing was performed manually without observed flow due to the absence of inspector's test connections. The inspector certified that all equipment was left in operational condition except as noted in the deficiencies.
