According to TB #008 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, The apparatus is not insulated from the ground by its rubber tires and may be energized by live wires in the following ways EXCEPT:
-By touching an object that is in contact with a live conductor
-By being in close proximity to a live conductor
-By direct contact with a live conductor
-By way of an extended aerial ladder touching a live conductor
According to TB #008 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, Aerial ladders must be kept at least ____ feet away from all power lines and devices.

According to TB #008 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, Although injuries to firefighters from applying water directly on electrical fires are rare, water streams applied in the vicinity of high voltage should be avoided. When hose streams must be used, the following should be adhered to EXCEPT:
-Where possible, extinguish small electrical fires with dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers
-Utilize a straight stream. The small air spaces between the drops of water in the stream limit electrical conductance
-Utilize the 30/33/100 Rule for using hose streams around high voltage
-Maintain a safe distance from the energized equipment. The LADWP also recommends not approaching a high-voltage source closer than one’s body length, so that a fall forward would not cause direct body contact
-Remember the safest tactic regarding the use of hose streams around a high voltage source is to take a defensive stance, let the equipment burn and protect exposures.
According to TB #008 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, Maintain clearance a minimum of HOW MANY feet beyond the outermost wire of electrical transmission lines
100
According to TB #008 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, Utilize the 30/33/100 Rule when directing hose streams near high voltage in the wildland refers to what 3 in order?
Utilize a 30-degree fog pattern, Maintain a safe distance of at least 33 ft. from energized source, Maintain at least 100 psi to the nozzle
