28
Q

Moderate to high winds impose a ($$$$$) on the aerial device and may reduce its overall stability.

A

Dynamic load

29
Q

When it is necessary to operate during high wind conditions, the driver should spot the apparatus in a manner that requires the aerial device to be raised to the ($$$$$$$$$) extension. It is also helpful to position the apparatus so that the device may be used over the front or rear of the apparatus, preferably ($$$$$$) to the wind.

A

Minimum

Parallel

30
Q

The goal is to maintain a distance of at least ($$$) between the aerial device and OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL LINES.

A

10 ft

31
Q

Stability of aerial apparatus can be improved by operating the aerial device in line with the ($$$$$$)

A

Longitudinal axis

32
Q

Increasing the angle of the aerial device away from the longitudinal axis of the truck ($$$$) the amount of load that can be carried safely.

A

Decreases

33
Q

An angle ($$$$$$) to the apparatus is the least stable position.

A

Perpendicular

34
Q

Tillered apparatus may be positioned to increase stability by ($$$$$$$$) the apparatus

A

Jack knifing

35
Q

Jack knifing involves turning the tractor at an angle from the trailer. Greatest stability occurs when this angle is approximately ($$$$) from in line and the aerial device is extended from this angle. Good stability occurs at angles up to ($$$$)

A

60 degrees

90 degrees

36
Q

When an apparatus must operate off an incline, the drive operator can reduce stresses by spotting the turntable ($$$$$) from the point of operation.

A

Downhill

37
Q

When approaching from the ($$$$$) side pull the aerial past the building, and operate the device from the rear of the truck.

A

Up hill

38
Q

Hen approaching from the DOWNHILL SIDE, apparatus should be stopped short of the building and the apparatus should be operated ($$$$$$$$).

A

Over the cab

39
Q

In some cases, it is possible to level the truck somewhat by using the stabilizers to raise one side of the truck more than the other. Generally, this is only possible on grades that are ($$$$$$$$) to the long centerline of the apparatus.

Perpendicular

40
Q

The maximum loading for any UNSUPPORTED aerial device occurs when operated at angles between ($$$$) and ($$$$$) from horizontal.

Q

The amount of extension affects aerial stresses. As extension INCREASES aerial loading must ($$$$$$)

A

Decrease.

42
Q

Aerials operating at a low angle of elevation and at long extensions are at their ($$$$$) operational position.

Q

Zones divide the level of hazard of an incident, and the name of the zone is based on its level of danger. The THREE most common names for HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ZONES are the ($$$), ($$$$), and ($$$$$).

A

Hot zone
Warm zone
Cold zone

57
Q

($$$$$) also called the restricted zone, exclusion zone, or red zone.

A

HOT ZONE

58
Q

($$$$$). An area surrounding the incident that has been contaminated by the released material. This area will be exposed to gases, vapors, mists, dusts, or runoff of the material. The zone extends far enough to prevent people outside the zone from suffering ill effects from hazard material.

Hot zone

59
Q

($$$$$$) also called the contamination reduction zone, limited access zone, or yellow zone.

A

Warm zone

60
