PUMPING AND AERIAL APPARATUS DRIVER/OPERATOR HANDBOOK EXAM PREP CHAPTER 17|UPDATED&VERIFIED|GUARANTEED SUCCESS

Which of the following should be given the MOST consideration during aerial apparatus preincident planning for target hazards? Overhead obstructions Which of the following is most likely a consideration for fire department SOPs on apparatus placement? Height of the building. After the fire department has developed SOPs about aerial apparatus placement, when should the driver/operator follow them? On every response. In tactical considreations, which of the following does the proper distance between the objective and the aerial apparatus afford? Maximum stability. The distance between the aerial apparatus and the objective should be consistent with the Ladder's planned use. An aerial apparatus should not park within a buildin's collapse zone whe the building has been exposed to severe fire conditions. Which of the following is a factor the driver/operator must consider when determining the final operating position of the aerial apparatus? Surface conditions. Which of the following is the best example of a surface that may be stable when the incient begins, but may become unstable as the incident progresses? frozen soil. On thin skinned paved parking lots or private driveways, if the stabilizer pads or cribbing are not placed beneath the stabilizer shoes on the aerial apparatus, the stabilizers most likely will puncture the parking surface Driver/operators must be aware of parkingon vaulted surfaces that may be created by Drainage culverts Which of the following is a visual indidcator of a compromised asphalt suface due to extreme heat? Shiny, glass like surfaces where the asphalt "bleeds". When positioning an apparatus with the front facing uphill on a grade, which of the following tactical impacts should be considered? Rear compartments will be more difficult to reach once the apparatus is leveled. Which of the following is an example of a weather phenomenon caused by buildings that should be avoided by driver/operators when possible? Wind tunnels Which of the following best describes how the ground may become electrically charged by downed powerlines or charged vehicles? In concentric circles with varying voltage potential. The long standing fire service standard has been provide __ of clearance between the aerial device and overhead high voltabe lines energized from volts. 10 feet Firefighters should not work within 50 feet of high voltage transmission lines over 50000 volts because they are high tension wires that transport electricity over long distances. If operating an aerial apparatus at night, the driver/operator should search for power lines or poles with powerful lights. Operating the aerial device in line with the longitudinal axis (apparatus body) can improve the stability of the aerial device. Which of the folowing involves turning the tractor at an angle from the truck? jackknifing Factors that work against an aerial device's strength are known as Stresses When the aerial device is in motion, the stress on the device tends to be greater Which of the following increases stress the most on the aerial device Operating ladder rungs nonparallel to the ground When an apparatus must operate off an incline, the driver/operator can reduce stress by Spotting the turntable downhill from the point of operation.
