Prearrival instructions are irrelevant to the safety of firefighters.
,4. Which of the following statements about downed power lines is incorrect?
Never drive fire apparatus over a downed power line.
It is acceptable to drive apparatus over a downed power line
because the rubber in the tires acts as an insulator.
Secure the area around the power line and keep the public at a safe
distance.
Downed power lines should be considered energized until the power
company confirms it is dead.
5. What is the primary function of a closed-circuit SCBA?
To provide a continuous supply of fresh air
To vent exhaled air to the outside atmosphere
To monitor the oxygen levels in the environment
To filter, clean, and circulate exhaled air within the system
6. To improve dexterity with gloves, be sure to have a good fit and:
purchase the most expensive gloves available.
use the gloves only when required.
practice with the gloves.

cause a higher fever than the flu
It generally takes several days for a toxic level of carbon monoxide to
accumulate in the body

causing severe hypoxia
9. Why is it important for firefighters to work together and remain intact during
an emergency response?
It enhances safety and effectiveness in managing the emergency.
It reduces the need for communication.

the eyes.
An SCBA face shield is primarily designed for warmth in cold
conditions.

allowing for breathing in hazardous environments.
11. During post-suppression overhaul operations, SCBA: (See pg. 205)
may be cleaned or inspected.
should be used only when necessary.
can be removed because smoke volume diminishes.
must be worn because respiratory hazards remain.
12. In a scenario where a firefighter's SCBA regulator fails during a rescue
operation, how would the presence of a bypass valve impact their safety?
It would increase the pressure in the tank.
It would allow the firefighter to continue breathing air while
addressing the issue.
It would cause the SCBA to malfunction completely.
It would automatically alert the command center.
13. Describe why wearing dry clothing is critical for firefighter safety during
operations.
Wearing dry clothing is not important as long as the SCBA is used.
Wearing dry clothing enhances the effectiveness of firefighting
equipment.
