⩥ The Incident Command System (ICS) is best defined: Answer: An
organized, systematic method for the command, control and

⩥ If there is adequate ventilation, steam from a water fog will
_____________ toxic gases present. Answer: displace
⩥ The primary fire hazard in a fire resistive construction is the: Answer:
Contents of the structure
⩥ A floor-plan sketch or diagram of a structure shows: Answer: An
outline of each floor.
⩥ Which statement regarding house keeing practices is correct? Answer:
Poor housekeeping practices are often the root cause of fire hazards.
⩥ After the proper test pressure for fire hose has been reached, the
pressure should be maintained for a period of: Answer: three to five
minutes
⩥ Which statement is correct regarding fire involving a flammable gas
cylinder? Answer: Fire should only be extinguished if the valve can be
shut off.
,⩥ Air aspirating foam nozzles: Answer: are recommended for use with
protein and fluroprotein foams.
⩥ The structural elements of Type I construction are generally required
to have a fire resistive rating of ________________ hours. Answer: 2-4
hours
⩥ To determine whether there is any slippage of couplings when testing
hose: Answer: mark the hose by each coupling using a pencil/marker.
⩥ Read the following statements regarding masonry as a construction
material and select the correct answer: Answer: 1. Concrete may spall
2. Masonry is inherently resistive to the effects of fire
3. Masonry applies to brick, block and stone.
All three statements are true.
⩥ Large pipes that carry water to smaller mains best defines: Answer:
Primary Feeders
⩥ Before beginning overhaul, it is vital to make sure the building is:
Answer: structurally safe
, ⩥ Solid streams are preferred whenever: Answer: reach and penetration
are needed
⩥ Propane has approximately a vapor density of: Answer: 1.5
⩥ The two most common ways the incident commander orders
firefighters to evacuate a structure are to broadcast a radio message and:
Answer: sound an audible warning
⩥ Which is considered to be an alarm initiating device: Answer:
photoelectric detector
⩥ Photoelectric detector Answer: are generally more responsive to fires
that begin with a long period of smoldering (called "smoldering
fires").How they work: Photoelectric-type alarms aim a light source into
a sensing chamber at an angle away from the sensor. Smoke enters the
chamber, reflecting light onto the light sensor; triggering the alarm
⩥ Ionization detector Answer: are generally more responsive to flaming
fires.How they work: Ionization-type smoke alarms have a small amount
of radioactive material between two electrically charged plates, which
ionizes the air and causes current to flow between the plates. When
smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of ions, thus reducing the
flow of current and activating the alarm.
