What should you do if you arrive at a fill site where another MWS apparatus is being filled?

Positioning your MWS (Mobile Water Supply) apparatus at a safe distance from another vehicle being filled is crucial for several reasons. Safety is the paramount concern in operations like these. By maintaining a safe distance, you reduce the risk of accidents that could occur due to collisions or the transfer of hazardous materials.

Additionally, positioning your apparatus safely allows the first apparatus to complete its filling process without interference. It helps maintain the flow of water and ensures that you have a clear and unobstructed path to the fill site when it becomes available.

Moreover, if the other unit is using a specific fill site that involves hoses or equipment that may pose a tripping hazard or might be under pressure, maintaining distance ensures that you are not in harm's way.

This approach contributes to a well-organized and efficient response operation, where multiple units can effectively utilize the same fill resource without hindrance.
