Which operation features the MWS supplying water to the attack apparatus via discharge line or draft from its internal tank?

• A. Nurse Tanker Operations
• B. Direct Pumping Operations
• C. Relay Pumping
• D. Draft Pumping

Answer: (A)

In nurse tanker operations, the MWS acts as a water source for the attack apparatus, feeding it either through a discharge line or by allowing the attack engine to draft from the MWS’s own internal tank. This setup is used when hydrants aren’t available or when you need to bridge water to the attack pump, so water moves from the MWS to the attack apparatus rather than directed solely at the MWS itself. The discharge line provides a direct feed to the attack pump, while drafting from the nurse tank gives the attack engine access to water if a discharge connection isn’t used. This dual capability—supplying the attack apparatus via discharge or by drafting from the MWS’s tank—defines nurse tanker operations.
