Question 6:
The incorrect engine operation during the winter months can be found in which choice?

C: Consideration should be given to backing the engine apparatus into streets for greater traction, ease of hose stretch, and simpler towing and removal if snowbound.
D: At large fires with limited street accessibility, the use of the mini-manifold carried by all battalion and division vehicles has been found to be very effective in fast hoseline stretches
