Which of the following is NOT listed as a required hoseline for Taxpayers?

• A. Hoseline for Ventilation
• B. Hoseline for Fire Attack
• C. Hoseline for Backup Fire Attack
• D. Hoseline to protect the stairwell

Answer: (A)

In a taxpayer operation, the water lines are planned to support interior fire attack and crew safety: a primary line for direct fire attack, a backup line to back up or extend the main attack, and a line dedicated to protecting the stairwell to maintain a safe path for occupants and crews. Ventilation, while essential as a tactic to remove smoke and heat, is not a water line and isn’t listed as a required hoseline in this plan. That’s why the line for ventilation is the one that isn’t included among the required lines.
