1. A liquid with a flash point ABOVE 100F Combustible Liquid
2. If the current flowing out from an electrical panel is 12.5
12.5 amps, and it then flows through an electrical load
of 1500 watts, what is the amperage of the remaining
current flow of the return circuit?
3. If a hair dryer draws 8.3amps (in a home with 120-volt 1000
service), what is the wattage?
*Power (P) = current (I) x voltage (V)
Watts = amps x volts
4. The year of the first edition of NFPA 1033 1987
5. The recommended distance for securing the perime- 1.5 times
ter of a blast scene
*That is, the distance from the furthest debris
6. What temperature in the upper gas layer causes the 1100°F
onset of Flashover?
7. The temperature at which copper melts 1960°F
8. The measurement of the radiant heat flux (from gas 2 W/cm2
layer to the floor) that indicates the onset of flashover
9. The voltage between the two hot wires at the ser- 240 volts
vice entrance cables in most single-family residences
in the United States (single-phase service with three
wires)
10. The revision cycle for NFPA 921 (timespan) 3 years

ical range of pressure that is used to pump fuel from
a fuel tank
13. The lower explosive and upper explosive limit of nat- 5 and 17
ural gas (methane)?
14. The ignition temperature of power steering fluid 680°F
15. Any substance that can undergo combustion Fuel
16. Two factors or situations leading to a fire that may Act or Omission
show the nature of the incident responsibility.
17. This concept should not be included in a summary Additional Investigative
report of findings. Recommendations
18. A law that may govern the fire investigation of a boat Admiralty Law
19. A type of device in a vehicle, which can cause an elec- After-market Equipment
trical overload to factory installed wiring

trachea is one of the most significant factors in con-
firming that, at the time of the fire, the victim was
WHAT?
21. Those who have the responsibility for monitoring All Team Members
safety conditions at the fire or explosion scene
22. The melting temperature of aluminum 1220°F
