CFEI Study Guide Questions With Complete Solutions
"V" Pattern Correct Answers The geometric shape of the
pattern.
Accelerant Correct Answers Can be any material to spread fire;
usually gasoline.
Administrative Review Correct Answers An administrative
review is one typically carried out within an organization to
ensure that the investigator's work product meets the
organization's quality
assurance requirements. An administrative reviewer will
determine whether all of the steps outlined in an organization's
procedure manual, or required by agency policy, have been
followed and whether all of the appropriate documentation is
present in the file, and may check for typographical or
grammatical
errors.
Arc Correct Answers A high-temperature luminous electric
discharge
across a gap or through a medium such as charred insulation.
Arson Correct Answers The crime of maliciously and
intentionally, or recklessly, starting a fire or causing an
explosion.
Backdraft Correct Answers A deflagration resulting from the
sudden introduction of air into a confined space containing
oxygen-deficient products of incomplete combustion
,Boiling Point Correct Answers Temperature at which the vapor
pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid
and the liquid changes into a vapor.
Burning Point Correct Answers The lowest temperature at
which a volatile oil in an open vessel will continue to burn when
ignited by a flame held close to its surface; used to test safety of
kerosene and other illuminating oils.
Calcination Correct Answers A fire effect realized in gypsum
products, including wallboard, as a result of exposure to heat
that drives off free and chemically bound water
Cause Correct Answers The circumstances, conditions, or
agencies that brought about or resulted in the fire or explosion
incident, damage to property resulting from the fire or explosion
incident, or bodily injury or loss of life resulting from the fire or
explosion incident.
Ceiling Jet Correct Answers Obstruction to plume at ceiling
level creates ceiling jets.
Clean Burn Correct Answers A distinct and visible fire effect
generally apparent on non-combustible surfaces after
combustible layers (soot, paper, paint)have burned away
Combustible Liquid Correct Answers Flash Point @ or above
100°F
, Combustion Correct Answers A chemical process of oxidation
that occurs at a rate fast enough to produce heat and usually light
in the form of either a glow or flame
Combustion Correct Answers A chemical process of oxidation
that occurs at a rate fast enough to produce heat and usually light
in the form of either a glow or flame.
Combustion Correct Answers Combustion may continue with
available oxygen concentrations lower than 1 percent.
Competent Ignition Source Correct Answers An ignition
source that
has sufficient energy and is capable of transferring that energy to
the fuel long enough to raise the fuel to its ignition temperature.
Conduction Correct Answers Heat transfer to another body or
within a body by direct contact.
Conduction Correct Answers Heat transfer to another body or
within a body by DIRECT contact.
Conduction Heat Transfer Correct Answers Conduction is the
form of heat transfer that takes place within solids when one
portion of an object is heated. Energy is transferred from the
heated area to the unheated area at a rate dependent on the
difference in temperature and the physical properties of the
material.
Confirmation Bias Correct Answers Different hypotheses may
be compatible with the same data. When using the scientific
