During fill site operations, what are two primary responsibilities of make and break personnel?

The primary responsibilities of make and break personnel at a fill site during mobile water supply operations involve the processes of connecting and disconnecting from the mobile water supply (MWS) apparatus. This task is crucial because it ensures that the MWS is properly integrated into the water supply system to facilitate efficient filling or draining operations. Properly connecting the MWS is essential for ensuring that there are no leaks or issues that could lead to loss of water or equipment damage during the operation. Similarly, disconnecting safely after fill operations are completed is vital to prevent accidents and ensure that all equipment is properly cared for as it is returned to service or moved to a new location.

While other responsibilities, such as monitoring fill rates, maintaining water temperature, reporting issues, and managing logistics, are important in broader operational contexts, they fall outside the specific scope of make and break personnel. These roles mainly center around the hands-on connection and disconnection tasks that enable the mobile water supply system to function effectively and safely within the fireground operations.
