Fire apparatus must be able to pump while moving at what minimum speed in pump-and-roll operations?

In pump-and-roll operations, fire apparatus must be capable of functioning effectively while moving. The correct minimum speed is 2 miles per hour. This speed allows for the necessary mobility to maneuver in various environments, while still maintaining the capacity to pump water efficiently to combat fires.

When operating at this minimum speed, firefighters can traverse through difficult terrain or reach areas that may not be accessible through conventional methods, all while delivering the necessary fire suppression efforts. Higher speeds are generally not as feasible for pumping, as they may negatively impact the apparatus's ability to stabilize and provide an effective flow of water. This speed is established as a standard to balance the need for movement with the operational effectiveness required in fire suppression scenarios.
