The first elevated streams were water towers mounted 30ft
on wagons and pulled by horses. When raised, these
elevated streams could raise ___________ in the air.


The first _____________ fire apparatus to discharge water gasoline powered engine
was a unit called a _________. This small truck carried a chemical wagon
large _____________ and 50 ft (15 m) or more of small hose soda acid extinguisher
(booster line size). It also carried a supply of double-
jacked cotton hose, a short ladder, and a running
board on which the fire fighters would ride. Small fires
were extinguished with the soda acid device, while
larger fires used the hose connected directly to the
hydrant.

Later additional aerial devices were developed that articulated boom
included articulated booms and ladder towers. The ladder tower
________________provided greater flexibility in operating in
areas filled with electrical wires and other
obstructions. The ________________ provided a solid
platform at the end of a boom. It gave fire fighters a
platform to work from, a device to use for rescue that
eliminated the need for the victims to navigate down a
ladder, and a platform to provide water tower
equipment.

_____________, also known as compression brakes, open Engine Brakes
valves in the cylinders of diesel engines to divert
compression from the cylinders to create drag that
slows the vehicle.


_____________________divert transmission fluid through a Transmission retarders
retarder chamber, which causes resistance to be
applied to the driveline with the energy dissipated
through heat transfer to the vehicle's cooling system.


___________________restrict exhaust flow from the engine; the Exhaust retarders
compression held in the engine limits the movement of
the piston and, in turn, the crankshaft, thereby slowing
the vehicle. The excess compression is forced through
the exhaust brake, which absorbs the energy.


_________________essentially use an electrical current to Driveline retarders
create a magnetic force that slows the rotation of a
driveshaft or axle.
