FSVO Il State UPDATED ACTUAL Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Stopping distance - CORRECT ANSWER - The distance it takes for you to recognize the
hazard, process the need to stop, apply the brakes, and come to a complete stop.
Reaction distance - CORRECT ANSWER - The distance the fire apparatus ravels after you
recognize the hazard, remove your foot from the accelerator, and apply the brakes.
Braking distance - CORRECT ANSWER - The distance the fire apparatus travels from the
time that the brakes are activated until the fire apparatus makes a complete stop.
Ungaurded railroad crossing - CORRECT ANSWER - Come to a complete stop, turn off
sirens and roll down windows; operate apparatus on idle, and listen for the sound of an oncoming
train
Intersections with railroad crossbars - CORRECT ANSWER - Never proceed between the
crossbars in an attempt to continue the response
Fuel guage - CORRECT ANSWER - Fuel tanks should never drop below the halfway
level
Voltmeter - CORRECT ANSWER - Measures the voltage across the battery terminals and
gives an indication of the electrical condition of the battery
Air brake test - CORRECT ANSWER - Turn apparatus on, allow air compressor to build
up to 110 PSI, shut off engine but leave battery in on position, step on and off brake pedal. An
audible alarm should signal before pressure drops to less than 60 PSI.
Confined space turnaround maneuver - CORRECT ANSWER - Establish a 50x12 ft lane;
driver enters area and turns the apparatus 180 degrees and leaves area
, Vaccuum test before - CORRECT ANSWER - Before: remove all discharge caps and drain
booster tank; chock wheels
Vacuum test during - CORRECT ANSWER - During: drain water from fire pump and
booster tank; close all drains, intake valves, cooler lines, and any other sources of vacuum leaks
to isolate fire pump; place caps on all suction or external intake fittings and remove caps from
discharge fittings.
Vacuum test during cont (1) - CORRECT ANSWER - Turn battery on (not necessary to
start engine); fully open primer control handle and hold in that position
Vacuum test during cont (2) - CORRECT ANSWER - Continue to hold hand in fully
engaged position until max vacuum is achieved (15-20 seconds); You should see a vacuum
reading of approx 22in HG on supply master gauge. Return handle to fully closed position.
Vacuum test after - CORRECT ANSWER - Record reading and wait 5 minutes and record
again; reading should not drop below more than 10in Hg in 5 minutes. If it does follow SOPs and
have vacuum leak repaired
Air brakes: - CORRECT ANSWER - Air pressure build-up from 85 psi to 100 psi should
take 45 seconds or less. While driving, observe the air pressure gauge during build-up to ensure
proper air system operation.
Dual tires should always be inflated to the same pressure and have the same amount of tread
depth. When dual tires have more than a _____ psi pressure difference tread depth, ________ of
the tires carries too much of the load and becomes overloaded. - CORRECT ANSWER --
10 PSI pressure distance
-One
Function of maintenance records: - CORRECT ANSWER - To find any abnormalities so
corrective action can be taken
