Our FD is more then glad to hook up an engine, handline and flow them. (Except in the dead of winter)
Its a win-win-win, contractor gets it tested without having the greater expense of renting his own equipment, AHJ gets his flow test and the FD gets to work with the system and gain confidence in it.
