Drafting will only be allowed at the _____ or_______.

Drafting will only be allowed at the _____ or_______.

• A. Fire Dept shop pit or FTC portable draft tank
• B. City pool or water tank
• C. Hydrant outlet or pump house
• D. Standpipe room or equipment bay

Answer: (A)

Drafting involves pulling water into a pump from a static source, so it’s done only in places designed to provide a clean, controlled water supply and a safe setup for priming and operation. The two designated locations—the fire department shop pit and the FTC portable draft tank—are specifically prepared for this, offering a controlled environment and a reliable water source for practice or training operations. They help prevent debris or contamination from entering the pump and ensure the equipment can be primed properly. Other locations aren’t designated drafting sites in this context. A city pool or water tank might supply water, but in this scenario those areas aren’t recognized as the approved drafting facilities. Hydrant outlets or pump houses are part of active firefighting or water supply infrastructure, not designated training drafting locations. Standpipe rooms or equipment bays aren’t water sources for drafting.
