Question

For high speed, multi-lane divided highway traffic incident responses, many jurisdictions dispatch a second fire apparatus, typically a fire department pumper, ladder truck or tanker because of their size and weight. This second apparatus typically positions in a block to the left or block to the right approximately ___________________ upstream of the units working at the incident scene in most situations

Answer 1

The second device is positioned approximately 100 feet upstream of the units working at the incident scene in most situations.

Why is the device positioned at this distance?

• Because it guarantees better performance.
• Because it guarantees greater security.
• Because this distance proves to be more efficient.

The installation of the devices is done after an analysis of the environment and the function of each one. Therefore, when a distance is determined and the device is positioned, greater safety and performance of the device are guaranteed.
