ladders
2. SCBA's
3. Forcible entry tools
4. salvage tools and equipment

6. Emergency medical Equipment
What three things make a rescue pumper? - ANS -Medical
Rescue
Extrication
what is a Midi or Mini pumper? - ANS -Mini pumper is a small apparatus mounted on a
pick up sized chassis and usually has a pump rated for < 2000 LPM. primary advantages
include speed and mobility. which allows for quicker response.
Initial Attack Fire Apparatus is? - ANS -Fire apparatus with the primary purpose is to
initiate a fire attack on structural and wild land fires and support associated fire
department actions.
What is a midi-pumper? - ANS -A apparatus sized between a mini-pumper and a
full-sized fire department pumper, usually with a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 pounds
, (6 000 kg) or greater. The midi-pumper has a fire pump with a rated capacity generally not
greater than 1,000 gpm (4 000 L/ m)
What is a mobile supply water apparatus - ANS -An apparatus that transports water to
areas where a water system is non existent or inadequate.
The capacity of a mobile water supply is based off what factors - ANS -Terrain
Bridge and weight limits
Monetary constraints
interoperability
The design and construction process of mobile water supply apparatus
should meet certain safety and efficiency requirements including? - ANS -• Adequate but
reasonable water capacity
• Efficient fill and dump time
• Suspension and steering matched to terrain requirements
• Properly sized chassis
• Adequately sized engine for vehicle size and terrain
• Sufficient braking ability for vehicle and terrain
• Proper tank mounting and baffling • Adequate tank venting system
• Ability to dump water from either side or rear of apparatus
Two basic uses for a mobile water supply? - ANS -Mobile shuttle operation and
stationary reservoir ( nurse Tender)
Mobile shuttle operation - ANS -In this operation, the water tender arrives at the
designated dump site and either pumps off or uses the quick dump valve to off-load its
water supply into folding portable water tanks. Once it is off-loaded, the water tender
returns to the fill site to reload and the process is repeated.
stationary reservoir ( Nurse Tender) - ANS -In this operation, the apparatus is parked in
close proximity to the fire scene. The pumpers connect to the water tender and use its
supply during suppression operations. Knowing the limitations of your apparatus, water
tank capacity, training and preplanning of your response area is paramount for this
operation to function correctly.
Wildland Fire Apparatus - ANS -an apparatus design that is lightweight, highly
maneuverable, and all-terrain. Specially designed wildland apparatus are often mounted
on one-ton or larger chassis, usually featuring all-wheel drive. Commonly known as
brush trucks, brush breakers, or booster apparatus, these vehicles often have pump
capacities and water tanks of 500 gallons (2 000 L) or less
What is a pump and roll system - ANS -pump and roll system allows the apparatus to be
driven while discharging water. This can be effective when combating wildland fires.
