"Implementing the Inspect • Test • Maintain (ITM) process through First Due provides measurable value to both the service provider and the Amesbury Fire Department by creating a single, accountable system for managing fire and life safety compliance. By digitizing inspections, testing schedules, documentation, deficiency tracking, and reporting, the Department gains real-time visibility into system status across the community while reducing administrative burden and manual recordkeeping.
Ultimately, adopting the ITM process supports a shared objective: safer buildings, stronger code compliance, faster issue resolution, improved customer experience, and increased confidence that fire protection systems will perform as intended when needed most."


"The mission of the Amesbury Fire Department’s Inspect • Test • Maintain (ITM) Program is to protect life, property, and community resilience by ensuring fire protection and life safety systems are inspected, tested, maintained, and documented in a consistent, transparent, and code-compliant manner.
