About this file
This is a Semi-Annual Inspection Report for water-based fire protection systems at VA Grand Junction Building 5, completed on December 15, 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 inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.
The report identifies four deficiencies requiring attention. Deficiency #1 concerns two pressure gauges on the system that are due for replacement and not showing normal water supply pressure readings. Deficiency #2 notes that a drain test could not be conducted after opening closed valves because the main drain valve is frozen shut, creating a risk of breaking the valve if forced open. Deficiency #3 indicates that no flow was observed during the wet sprinkler system test because the main drain valve remains frozen; drain readings were taken using the inspector's test valve instead. Deficiency #4 documents that the inspector's test connection at the riser lacks a required identification sign. No deficiencies were identified in the general wet system questions or valve categories. The inspector certified that all equipment tested was left in operational condition except as noted in the deficiency findings.
