Fire apparatus are classified according to?
the functions for which they were designed
NFPA 1901 establishes the minimum pump capacity for fire department pumpers is blank gpm
750
An apparatus with the combined functions of a rescue company and a fire dept pumper
rescue pumper
Industrial Foam Pumpers are built according to the standards provided in Chapter blank of nfpa 1901
11
Most large-scale industrial foam pumpers use some form of blank because of the reliability of the foam proportioning at large flows
balanced pressure proportioning
Specific Requirements for the design of initial attack apparatus are contained in Chapter blank of NFPA 1901
6
smaller, quick attack pumpers, known as blank, are designed to handle small fires that do not require the capacity or personnel needed for a larger pumper
minipumper
blank are well suited for nuisance fires such as small grass and trash bin fires and for service calls that do not require the capacity and personnel of a full-size pumper
midipumper aka interface engine
Specific requirements for the design of mobile water supply apparatus are contained in chapter blank of nfpa 1901
7
According to nfpa 1901, the apparatus must carry at least blank gallons to be considered a mobile water supply apparatus
1,000
apparatus designed to perform the functions of both pumper and mobile water supply apparatus are sometimes called?
tactical tenders or attack tenders
the ability to pump-and-roll (blank) is a tremendous advantage when combating wildland fires
mobile attack
These units are used on incidents that do not require full-size ladder trucks and thereby reduce the wear and tear on the heavier vehicles
ladder tender
typically the capacity of the water tanks does not exceed blank gallons and the pumps do not produce more than about blank gpm on ladder tenders
300,300
a rescue vehicle equipped with a small fire pump and water tank in order to handle small fires and provide protective hoselines at incident scenes
engine tender
