A little about this puzzle

In a fire-free training yard, a support mecha plants both feet and steadies a low folding hose guide with its palms. The guide rests on two end supports. A single unpressurized hose lies in a broad U-shaped curve with both ends open and no water jet. An instructor wearing a transparent face shield operates a console at the rear left. Another instructor holds a stop controller in the right hand outside the safe boundary. A tiered equipment cart carries teaching samples and tools, while a separate triangular wedge sits beside the nearer guide support. Clear adventure-comic contours emphasize joints, support points, and equipment layers.
