EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
100% PASS
⩥ Auto ignition temperature. Answer: The lowest temperature at which a
combustible material ignites in air without a spark or flame.
⩥ Smoke components. Answer: Unburned forms of hydrocarbon fuels
⩥ Black Fire. Answer: A hot, high-volume, high-velocity, turbulent,
ultra-dense black smoke that indicates an impending flashover or
autoignition.
⩥ Flashover. Answer: A rapid transition from the growth stage to the
fully developed stage.
⩥ Competent Ignition Source. Answer: An ignition source that has
sufficient energy and is capable of transferring that energy to the fuel
long enough to raise the fuel to its ignition temperature.
⩥ Evacuation signal. Answer: Three blasts on apparatus air horn
repeated several times or sirens sounded on his low for 15 sec
,⩥ Rapid Intervention Team RIT. Answer: A minimum of two fully
equipped personnel on site, in a ready state, for immediate rescue of
injured or trapped fire fighters.
⩥ National Fire Incident Reporting System NFIRS. Answer: A system
used by fire departments to report and maintain computerized records of
fires and other fire department incidents in a uniform manner.
Considered to be public records under the Freedom of Information Act
⩥ Computer aided Dispatch CAD. Answer: Enhanced dispatch systems
that have the capability of storing information on addresses and
occupants and helping to manage response capabilities.
⩥ Unified Command. Answer: command organization in which several
agencies work independently but cooperatively
⩥ Incident Command System (ICS). Answer: A system implemented to
manage disasters and mass- and multiple-casualty incidents in which
section chiefs, including finance, logistics, operations, and planning,
report to the incident commander. Also referred to as the incident

⩥ Span of control. Answer: The number of subordinates who report
directly to an executive or supervisor (3-7)
, ⩥ Planning Section. Answer: The section within ICS responsible for the
collection, evaluation, and dissemination of tactical information related
to the incident and for preparation and documentation of incident
management plans.
⩥ Gusset Plate. Answer: a flat plate used for joining structural elements
⩥ Spalling. Answer: Expansion of excess moisture within masonry
materials due to exposure to the heat of a fire, resulting in tensile forces
within the material, and causing it to break apart. The expansion causes
sections of the material's surface to violently disintegrate, resulting in
explosive pitting or chipping of the material's surface.
⩥ 5 types of construction. Answer: Type 1: Fire resistive, Found in
schools, hospitals, and high rise
Type 2: Noncombustibles Single story warehouse
Type 3: Ordinary commercial strip malls, small apartment buildings
Type 4: Heavy Timber
Type 5: Wood Frame
⩥ Considerations for possible building collapse. Answer: -Exposure to
serious fire
-Water loading
