in a safe position that includes an exit route - CORRECT ANSWER When fire
conditions are evident upon arrival, the driver/operator should place the apparatus:
at an incident where no fire is present - CORRECT ANSWER When would it be MOST
appropriate for the first arriving apparatus to pull past the front of the building when
responding?
life safety - CORRECT ANSWER When a pumper is responding to an incident, which of
the following is always the first tactical priority?
life safety, cost/benefit analysis, property conservation, or environmental conservation?
where they are accessible to later-arriving apparatus - CORRECT ANSWER The first-
arriving apparatus should lay supply lines:

following MOST likely will help reduce the possibility of the apparatus becoming an
exposure?

incident in which apparatus and personnel should be downhill of the main body of fire?
A. vehicle fires
B. wildland fires
C. multiple alarm fires

street?
corners of the building - CORRECT ANSWER What is generally considered the safest
position, should a building collapse?

method of apparatus placement in which attack pumpers are positioned on the side of
the street closest to the building and aerial apparatus are placed outboard of pumpers is
used when:
friction loss due to distance and elevation - CORRECT ANSWER When supporting
aerial apparatus, what is a major consideration for pumpers supporting elevated
streams?
through preincident planning - CORRECT ANSWER The location for positioning to
support fire department connections is best determined:

would be given preference as a drafting location?
A. an area on a paved road and private
B. a location accessible from a hard surface
C. a location accessible from all sides of area
D. Where a large turn-around circle is available
wear a personal flotation device - CORRECT ANSWER When involved in drafting
operations, any personnel working near the edge of bodies of water are required to:
large diameter intake hose - CORRECT ANSWER What is the preferred type of hose
for hydrant connection?
twists help prevent formation of kinks and do not restrict water flow - CORRECT
ANSWER Which of the following statements about intake hose and preventing kinks is
most accurate?
A. longer hose will help prevent kinks
B. shorter hose will help prevent kinks
C. twists do not prevent kinks and will restrict water flow
D. twists help prevent kinks and do not restrict water flow
behind the hydrant - CORRECT ANSWER When opening a hydrant, it is advantageous
to stand:
they are both being used as attack pumpers at the same incident - CORRECT
ANSWER Generally, in dual pumping operations, one strong hydrant is used to supply
two pumpers because:
, A. one pumper is used as a backup water supply
B. pumpers take turns in performing tasks at the incident
C. they are both being used as attack pumpers at the same incident
D. one pumper may be called to a different incident scene and must be ready

ANSWER Tandem pumping operations involve a form of relay pumping with pumpers
positioned:
A. apart and evenly spaced in the supply hose layout
B. randomly in sporadic locations in the supply hose layout
C. in a staging pattern with one pumper waiting and one ready
D. close together rather than evenly spaced in the supply hose layout
supplying a high rise sprinkler or standpipe system - CORRECT ANSWER Which of the
following incidents would most likely involve tandem pumping operations?
A. mutual aid response
B. wildland fire incidents
C. incidents where victims are in need of rescue
D. supplying a high rise sprinkler or standpipe system
Apparatus may be located up to 300ft apart - CORRECT ANSWER Which of the
following statements about tandem pumping operations is most accurate?
A. apparatus must be located near the fire
B. apparatus can be located any distance apart
C. apparatus may be located up to 300ft apart

increase water pressure - CORRECT ANSWER Tandem pumping is generally used at
an incident to:

CORRECT ANSWER Which of the following statements about positioning wildland fire
apparatus is most accurate?

B. apparatus are positioned so changing conditions do not require apparatus to move
C. apparatus are seldom positioned in the same location for the duration of an incident
D. apparatus positioning is very similar to structure fire fighting positioning

Which is a guideline for positioning at a wildland fire for structure protection?
A. park the apparatus on the roadway
B. position the apparatus on the leeward side of the structure
C. position the apparatus on the windward side of the structure
D. position the apparatus as close as physically possible to the structure
