QUESTIONS AND SOLUTION RATED A+
✔✔All of the following are considerations ARFF apparatus driver/operators should know
when adverse environmental conditions are presented EXCEPT: - ✔✔Vehicles may
have limited clearance on one or both sides on off airport roads
✔✔What airport marking is found in ILS critical areas - ✔✔Specialized hold position
markings
✔✔Aircraft maintenance facilities conduct a variety of operations that are a concern to
ARFF personnel, which include all of the following EXCEPT: - ✔✔Water supply
maintenance
✔✔Identify the THREE guidelines to position an apparatus at an aircraft incident scene.
- ✔✔-Position apparatus to accomplish the greatest amount of good for the greatest
amount of people.
-Maintain situational awareness of occupant (passengers and crew) evacuation and fire
conditions..
-Move as needed to protect occupant evacuation and control the fire.
✔✔What is the most common method of aircraft fuel delivery - ✔✔Tank trucks
✔✔Blue lights - ✔✔Lights used to outline taxiways, usually located along the edges
✔✔White lights - ✔✔Lights used to outline the edges of runways and to identify runway
centerlines
✔✔Green lights - ✔✔Lights used to identify the approach end of runways and some
taxiways centerlines
✔✔Yellow or amber lights - ✔✔Lights used to identify locations of hold bars that are
placed on both sides of the Hold lines
✔✔Red lights - ✔✔Lights are used to mark obstructions such as building structures,
parked aircraft, and the departure end of the runway
✔✔Fuel is not permitted to go directly into the storm water system and must flow
through an approved - ✔✔Fuel/ water separator
✔✔Identify the THREE guidelines to position an apparatus at an aircraft incident scene.
- ✔✔stop until visual clearance is confirmed or ATC has approved further movement
, ✔✔Knowing the topographic layout of both the airport and its immediate surrounding
area is important in determining: - ✔✔-response routes for apparatus
- fuel drainage direction
-spread of fire
✔✔A set of parallel runways identified as 36L and 36R from the north would be labeled
as opposite end. - ✔✔18L;18R
✔✔Identify FOUR areas that should be included on a grid map. - ✔✔-bridges and
bridge load limits
-location of hospitals and medical facilities
-RRA and CRFFAA
-traffic patterns, control zones, and terrain features
✔✔What action should be taken when routes to serviced areas contain bridges with low
load limits? - ✔✔Plan alternate routes
✔✔In a fire situation, a cast high explosive will melt, run, and resolidify as it cools
causing what hazard? - ✔✔sensitive to shock or friction
✔✔What action should be taken when routes to serviced areas contain bridges with low
load limits? - ✔✔-establishing a perimeter around the scene
-mitigation of the hazardous material -rescue efforts
✔✔Identify FOUR combustible materials that are frequently involved in interior aircraft
fires. - ✔✔-carpeting
-upholstery
-electrical insulation
-refuse
✔✔Aircraft brakes frequently become overheated due to the combined effects of - ✔✔-
the extra braking power required for short runways
- the aircraft weight
-the landing speed
✔✔All of the following are correct fire fighting techniques when fire occurs in an oxygen-
enriched environment
ЕХСЕРТ: - ✔✔use smothering and blanketing agents to stop fires being supplied with
liquid oxygen
✔✔Identify THREE hazards associated with the landing gear. - ✔✔-can ignite and burn
at high temperatures because of the metals used in its construction
-applying water or foam can cause the metals to react violently
-the tires may explode when reaching extremely high temperatures
