____________________________________.
Preincident surgery: - answer Assessment of a facility or location made
before an emergency occurs, in order to prepare for an appropriate
emergency response. Also known as a Preplan.

particular location or a particular type of incident before an incident occurs.
Also know as Prefire inspection, Prefire planning, pre incident inspection,
Preincident survey, or preplanning
International Existing Building code (IEBC): - answer Determines the extent
of work in relation to the building as a whole, which may range from from
repairs, renovations, change of occupancy, and building additions.
A building department should watch out for any of the following potentially
dangerous changes: - answer -removal or penetration of bearing walls
-modification of beams or trusses
-structural overloading of roofs
-creation of mezzanine floors in attic spaces
-rooftop additions
-remodeling that creates additional voids
-illegal remodeling or overloading that causes extreme hazards
-subdivision of existing species that creates maze-like floor plans
International Building Code (IBC): - answer Code that is dedicated to
providing safety regulations for life safety, structural, and fire protection
issues that occur throughout the life of a building.
International Code Council (ICC): - answer Organization that develops the IBC
and International Fire Code (IFC) for city and state adoption. Was formed by
the merger of the three former councils that led to the creation of the IBC

of community safety and health.
, noncombustible: - answer Incapable of supporting combustion under normal
circumstances
Fuel Load: - answer The total quantity of combustible contents of a building,
space, or fire area, including interior finish and trim, expressed in heat units
of the equivalent weight in wood.
Heat Release Rate (HRR): - answer (1)Total amount of heat produced or
released to the atmosphere from the convective-lift fire phase of a fire per
unit mass of fuel consumed per unit time. (2) Heat released when material
burns, expressed in Kilowatts or British Thermal Units (BTU)
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990-Public law 101-336 - answer Federal
Statute intended to remove barriers, physical and or otherwise, that limit
access by individuals with disabilities.
Area of refuge: - answer (1)Space protected from fire in the normal means of

within the same building by smoke proof walls, or location in adjacent
building. (2) Area where persons who are unable to use stairs can
temporarily wait for instructions or assistance during an emergency building
evacuation.
Type I construction: - answer Fire Resistive construction is classified by the
presence of noncombustible structural components that have fire resistance
ratings within a specified range.Ty
Type II construction: - answer Protected Noncombustible or Noncombustible -
Similar to Type I but allows a wider range of materials such as steel, concrete
block, glass, and aluminum
Type III construction: - answer Exterior protected (masonry or ordinary)
