True or False: During a reverse lay from a truck, the engine crew will hand jack one additional line for a truck and two for a tower to ensure adequate water supply.

In a reverse lay from a truck, it is standard practice for the engine crew to ensure they have an adequate water supply by deploying additional lines as necessary. This procedure is especially critical for a tower, which typically requires more versatile operations due to its capacity for elevated firefighting and the need for multiple water streams to effectively combat a fire from above.

By handing off one extra line for a standard truck and two additional lines for a tower, the crew is preparing for potential firefighting scenarios that may necessitate immediate water access from different angles or for different operations. This approach maximizes the readiness of the fire response, allowing for immediate engagement with any fire conditions and ensuring sufficient coverage for the entire operation.

In contrast, answers that suggest false, dependence on the situation, or specificity only for tower operations would not fully recognize the standard protocol for ensuring thorough preparedness in all firefighting situations where both types of apparatus are being deployed.
