b) Residual Pressure
c) Net Pump Pressure
d) Compound Pressure
c) Compound Gauge - ans--✔✔The name of the gauge which shows the incoming pressure
to a pump:

driver/operator is responsible for all the following except:
a) Safe transportation of firefighters.
b) Mechanical and Electrical repairs on the apparatus
c) Operating the apparatus properly and swiftly.
d) Ensuring readiness of the equipment on the apparatus.
b) False - ans--✔✔Because of the critical time factor and nature of fire, a fire apparatus is
one of the few emergency vehicles that is not required to stop for school buses disembarking
or boarding children; it is required that the vehicle slow to maximum speed of 20 MPH
through the zone.
a) True
b) False
d) Working from Draft - ans--✔✔Atmospheric pressure plays an important role for the pump
operator when:
a) working from a hydrant
b) working in a relay operation
c) working from a positive pressure source
d) working from draft
d) all of the above - ans--✔✔Driver/Operators of fire apparatus are required by:
