Firefighter 2 Certification Exam Graded A+
A post - ANSWER-Located closest to the front of the vehicle. They form sides of the
windshield.
Aerating nozzle - ANSWER-Nozzle that is designed to introduce more air into the
stream and produce a consistent bubble structure.
Alcohol-resistant foam - ANSWER-Formulated so that alcohols and other polar solvents
do not dissolve the foam.
Annual testing of fire hose - ANSWER-1. Don PPE 2. Connect 300 ft of hose to a hose
testing gate valve on the discharge of FD pumper or hose tester
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) - ANSWER-A synthetic based foam that is
particularly suitable for spill related fires involving gasoline and light hydrocarbon fuels.
Arsonist - ANSWER-A person that deliberately sets a fire with criminal intent.
B post - ANSWER-Located between the front and rear doors of a vehicle.
Bankshot method - ANSWER-The use of an object to deflect the foam stream and let it
flow down onto the burning surface.
Batch mixing - ANSWER-When foam concentrate is poured directly into an apparatus
booster tank to produce foam solution.
Bulkhead - ANSWER-Structure that decides the engine compartment from the
passenger compartment.
C post - ANSWER-Located behind the rear doors.
Carabiner - ANSWER-Used to connect one rope to another rope or to other hardware
such as an anchor plate, swivel, or pulley. NFPA 1983
Circumstantial evidence - ANSWER-Is information that can be used to prove a theory;
based on facts that were observed directly.
Class 2 harness - ANSWER-Seat harness. Fastens around the rescuers waist and legs
and has a design load of 600 lbs.
Class 3 harness - ANSWER-Full body harness. Fastens around the rescuers waist and
thighs as well as secures the rescuers waist and shoulders.
Class A foam - ANSWER-Used to fight fires involving ordinary combustible materials
such as wood, paper, and textiles. It is also effective on organic materials such as straw
, and hay. Increases the effectiveness of water as an extinguishing agent by reducing the
surface tension of water.
Class B foam - ANSWER-Used to fight class B fires, fires involving flammable and
combustible liquids. A blanket of foam is used to smother the fuel of the fire putting it
out.
Compressed air foam (CAF) - ANSWER-Produced by injecting compressed air into a
stream of water that has been mixed with 0.1 percent to 1 percent foam.
Compressed air foam systems (CAFS) - ANSWER-Relatively new method of making
Class A foam.
Confined space rescue - ANSWER-Rescue in tanks, silos, underground electrical vaults
storm drains and other similar structures.
cribbing - ANSWER-Used to stabilize a vehicle.
Demonstrative evidence - ANSWER-Anything that can be used to validate a theory or to
show how something could have occurred.
Direct evidence - ANSWER-Facts that can be observed or reported first-hand.
Emergency traffic - ANSWER-An urgent message that takes priority over all other
communications
Evacuation signal - ANSWER-Warns all personnel to pull back to a safe location.
Usually a sequence of 3 blasts on an apparatus air horn.
Film-forming fluoroprotein (FFFP) - ANSWER-Composed of protein plus film-forming
fluorinated surface-active agents, which make them capable of forming water solution
films on the surface of most flammable hydrocarbons and of conferring a fuel-shedding
property of the foam generated.
Fluoroprotein foam - ANSWER-Made from the same base materials as protein foam but
include additional fluorochemical surfactant additives.
Foam concentrate - ANSWER-Firefighting foam is produced by mixing ??? With water
and air to produce a solution that can serve as an effective extinguishing agent.
Foam eductor - ANSWER-Draws foam concentrate from a container or storage tank into
a moving stream of water.
Foam injectors - ANSWER-Add the foam concentrate to the water stream under
pressure.
