Study Notes
Apparatus Positioning on Roadways
- Many drivers today are distracted and may pose a risk to firefighters operating on roadways.
- Fire apparatus can be positioned deliberately to provide a safe working environment for firefighters, especially in auto accidents.
- Engines can be used as blockers on freeways, creating a physical barrier to protect firefighters from collisions.
- The 200' 1 3/4" hoseline can create a greater buffer zone between the engine and the accident scene, providing more safety for crews.
- Care should be taken when pulling a pre-connect off the rear of the engine as crews are directly exposed to oncoming traffic
- Angling the engine can deflect a potential collision, but the pump operator may be exposed to traffic.
- Engine positioning should be carefully considered to provide access to hydrants and safe deployment of hose lines while maintaining safety.
