If a 1,000-foot hose lay is completed at mobile attack rate, how many minutes does it take?

• A. 5 minutes
• B. 10 minutes
• C. 15 minutes
• D. 20 minutes

Answer: (B)

This question relies on using the standard mobile attack rate to estimate how long a hose lay takes. The mobile attack rate is a typical pace for laying hose while moving, commonly about 100 feet of hose per minute. For a 1,000-foot lay, you divide the distance by the rate: 1,000 feet ÷ 100 feet per minute = 10 minutes. In real operations, terrain and obstacles can affect the time, but the question uses the standard rate, so the answer is ten minutes.
