What is required if the hydrant is within 50' during Drill #7?

When the hydrant is within 50 feet during Drill #7, the Driver Engineer (D/E) Candidate is required to provide their own water source. This requirement emphasizes the importance of understanding the operational context and logistics when responding to a fire scene.

Proximity to a fire hydrant allows for a more efficient setup of water supply operations. The D/E Candidate must demonstrate their ability to connect to the hydrant and utilize it effectively, ensuring a reliable water source is established for firefighting efforts. This action is crucial for maintaining the flow of water needed for fire suppression and contributes to the overall efficacy of the response.

Understanding this requirement reflects the candidate's knowledge of fire scene management and their ability to quickly and effectively establish a water supply, which is essential for firefighting operations.
