DRAFTING LOCATIONS
Drafting locations will be pre-determined utilizing a grid and number system, and displayed on each page to ensure units understand their locations efficiently. Each drafting location will be marked at a water supply that exists year-round, and is accessible by about 20' of an apparatus path or road to accommodate 2 sleeves of hard suction.


2
DRIVEWAY LENGTHS
Driveways for houses that are set back off the accessing road will be identified as a line, extending from the main road. These driveways will also be identified as to whether they are paved or unpaved (gravel and dirt), designated as dashed and solid lines.

3
PRE-DETERMINED LAYS
If a road or development has relatively cut and dry water supply solutions, they will be represented in intervals of about 600 feet, supporting the typical 1200' engine bed. These lays, while typically the most advantageous lays, obviously do not need to be followed.

4
BRIDGE WEIGHTS
Bridges that are identified by weight or height restriction are designated. Private bridges, such as bridges in resident driveways, are highlighted, informing responding units of a potential hurdle.
