For safety reasons, which operation mode is advised for ladder trucks during specific rescue situations?

In rescue situations, using low idle mode for ladder trucks offers several advantages that contribute to safety and effectiveness. Low idle allows the apparatus to maintain essential systems such as hydraulic functions while minimizing noise and emissions. This quieter operation is particularly beneficial in situations where clear communication is necessary, allowing rescuers to hear commands and coordinate more effectively without the distraction of loud engine noise.

Furthermore, low idle mode ensures that the hydraulic systems remain responsive without placing undue stress on the engine. This is crucial when deploying the ladder or operating other rescue equipment during critical moments. Maintaining stable power at low idle can also prevent back pressure in the hydraulic lines, which can potentially lead to equipment failure or complications during a rescue operation.

In contrast, the other options provide either too much power consumption, which could be counterproductive in delicate rescue operations, or do not allow for the necessary equipment functionality while ensuring a noise-reduced environment and safety in communication.
