If you are going to test the standpipe as required then you either need to bring a pump, or you coordinate with the fire department to have a truck brought out for testing. It is in the best interest of the FD to coordinate with these tests. Remember, the end user of the standpipe system is the responding FD. I've seen many jurisdictions where these tests never get done. And, I've seen some where the FD is very active in having these done.
