The apparatus shall include a water tank and hose body whose primary purpose is to <br />combat structural and associated fires. <br />VEHICLE TYPE <br />The chassis shall be manufactured for use as a straight truck type vehicle and designed for the <br />installation of a permanently mounted apparatus behind the cab. The apparatus of the vehicle shall be <br />supplied and installed by the apparatus manufacturer. <br />VEHICLE ANGLE OF APPROACH PACKAGE <br />The angle of approach of the apparatus shall be a minimum of 8.00 degrees. <br />NFPA1901 Angle of Approach definition: <br />"To determine the angle of approach, place a thin steel strip against the front of the tires where they <br />touch the ground or stretch a tight string from one front tire to the other at the front where they touch the <br />ground. Determine the lowest point (component or equipment) on the vehicle forward of the front tire <br />that would make the smallest angle of approach. Hang a plumb bob from the lowest point and mark the <br />point on the ground where the point of the plumb bob touches. Measure the vertical distance from the <br />ground to the point where the plumb bob was hung (distance V). Measure the horizontal distance from <br />the plumb bob point to the steel strip or string running from front tire to front tire (distance H). Divide <br />the vertical distance by the horizontal distance. The ratio of V/H is the tangent of the angle of approach. <br />If the ratio is known, the angle of approach can be determined from a table of trigonometric functions of <br />angles or from a math calculator. The standard requires a minimum angle of approach of 8.00 degrees: <br />since the tangent of 8.00 degrees is 0.1405, if V divided by H is 0.1405 or larger, the angle of approach <br />is 8.00 degrees or greater." <br />
