43
Q

ATC ( Automatic Traction Control) does what

A

Reduces engine torque and applies brakes to wheels that are spinning

44
Q

What happens when differential lock is applied

A

both wheels forced to turn at the same speed

45
Q

How far behind apparatus should a spotter be

46
Q

NFPA 1451

A

Standard for Vehicle operation training program

47
Q

Standard for Vehicle operation training program

48
Q

When do you need to have protection form falling objects at a high-rise fire

A

all personnel within 200 ft of the base

49
Q

If building is less then 5 floors where does the wagon park reference the truck

A

Inside the truck

50
Q

when pumping an FDC how close should the wagon position

A

as close as possible

51
Q

Can a hard sleeve be hooked to a hydrant

A

ONLY if it is designed to withstand the positive pressure

52
Q

How to minimize kinking when hooking to a hydrant

A

put a Counter Clockwise Twist in the hose

53
Q

Dual Pumping

A

Two wagons and one strong hydrant
-Wagons are hooked together intake to intake so the second wagon gets the extra water that is not used by the first wagon
