The driver/operator positions the apparatus how many feet before or after the incident address?

The recommended distance for positioning the apparatus before or after the incident address is 100 feet. This distance is established to ensure that the emergency vehicle is far enough away from the incident scene to maintain a safe working environment for both responders and civilians while still being close enough to respond quickly.

Positioning at this distance helps reduce the risk of the vehicle being in the path of any vehicles that may be involved in the incident or arriving at the scene, as well as providing adequate access for other emergency services and equipment. It allows for effective scene management and enhances the safety of all personnel involved.
