I. I. I. I. ObjectiveObjectiveObjectiveObjective
The Driver/Operator, given a fire department pumper, shall change the water supply from
the apparatus water tank to an external source while operating a fire attack line of 1-½ or larger
so that the flow is not interrupted and the pressure is maintained.
II. II. II. II. Instructions Instructions Instructions Instructions –––– Procedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the Objective
Given a fire department pumper, you shall charge the water supply from the apparatus
water tank to an external source while operating a fire attack line of 1-½ or larger so that the flow
is not interrupted and the proper pressure is maintained. The skill will end when you state to me
that you have completed all the identified steps. Do you understand these instructions?
