💭 Think About

• Which option most directly relates to being able to start fighting a fire as fast as possible? • Is the main goal of stowing a hose at the fire station about preserving equipment, or being ready for immediate use? • Think about how the hose and nozzle need to be positioned so that crew can operate them with minimal delay or setup steps.
