Before a static line lift, which equipment should be ensured to be pinned in rescue mode on the truck?

For a static line lift, ensuring that the waterway is pinned in rescue mode on the truck is essential for proper operation and safety. When the waterway is pinned in rescue mode, it allows for quick and effective deployment of the system during an emergency situation. This mode typically ensures that no water is flowing through the line, which maximizes safety for rescuers and the individuals being lifted, preventing any unintentional discharge that could complicate a rescue effort.

Proper pinning of the equipment helps to streamline operations during rescues, as it maintains control of the equipment and ensures that it is ready for immediate use when needed. Ensuring the waterway is correctly set up eliminates potential hazards and allows the firefighting crew to focus on the rescue operation without distractions.
