What does the rear hose compartment contain?

• A. 200' of 1 3/4 in metro pack
• B. 600' of 4 in supply line
• C. Booster Reel 1 in
• D. 200' of 2 1/2 in blitz line

Answer: (A)

The item in the rear hose compartment is the ready-to-use attack line. It holds 200 feet of 1 3/4 inch hose in a metro pack, with the nozzle already attached so you can quickly pull it and begin an interior attack without pulling from the hose bed. This configuration is chosen because a 1 3/4 inch line is the standard for initial attack, and 200 feet provides enough reach for most rooms and corridors while keeping the layout manageable for rapid deployment. The other options represent hose sizes and configurations that are typically stored in different compartments or used for different operations (large-diameter supply lines, booster lines, or blitz lines), not the rear preconnect.
