The apparatus will remain stable as long as the:
Gravity circle does not extend outside the base of stability
One challenge of operating on a longitudinal grade is the:
Rungs of the aerial device will not be parallel to the ground.
The collapse zone is:
One and one half the building
When performing rescue operations, aerial D/O should position the aerial device..
Upwind and at the corner of the building
Three objectives aerial D/O should meet when determining proper distance between the intended target and the aerial apparatus…
Maximum stability
Best climbing angle
Adequate extension
When responding to a medical incident, D/O should preferably park:
