Which unit on a fire truck is responsible for maintaining the pump operations?

The engineer or driver/operator is responsible for maintaining pump operations on a fire truck. Their role includes ensuring that the pump is functioning properly, managing water flow, and operating the various functions of the pump during firefighting operations. This position is critical as it directly affects the availability of water supply to firefighters during an incident. Proper knowledge and skill in pump operations are necessary to provide effective support to the fire attack and ensure safety for all personnel involved.

The chief officer typically oversees the overall incident management and does not operate the pumps directly. Firefighters focus on suppression and rescue operations, while the rescue team has specific responsibilities related to providing medical aid and rescuing individuals rather than managing pump operations.
