Upper Flammable Limit (UFL) or Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) ✔Correct Answer-The maximum
amount of gaseous fuel that can be present in the air for the air/fuel mixture to be flammable
or explosive.
Flammable Liquid ✔Correct Answer-A liquid that has a flash point of 60.5oC (141 °F) or lower.
(DOT)
Any liquid that has a flash point below 100 °F and a vapor pressure at or below 40 psia. (NFPA)
Combustible Liquid ✔Correct Answer-Liquids that have a flash point greater than 60.5 °C (141
°F) and below 93 °C (200 °F). U.S. regulations permit a flammable liquid with a flash point
between 38 °C (100 °F) and 60.5 °C (141 °F) to be reclassified as a combustible liquid. (DOT)
Any liquid that has a flash point above 100 °F but below 200°F. (NFPA)
Ignition Temperature ✔Correct Answer-The temperature that a fuel must reach before
combustion can begin
Piloted Ignition ✔Correct Answer-Moment when a mixture of fuel and oxygen encounters an
external heat (ignition) source with sufficient heat or thermal energy to start the combustion
reaction.
Autoignition Temperature ✔Correct Answer-Minimum temperature to which a fuel (other
than liquid) in the air must be heated in order to start self-sustained combustion; no external
ignition source is required.
Detonation or Explosion ✔Correct Answer-A sudden, rapid release of energy that produces
potentially damaging pressures that can travel at the speed of sound.
Oxidizing Material ✔Correct Answer-A material that readily yields oxygen in quantities
sufficient to stimulate or support combustion.
Combustible Dust ✔Correct Answer-Dust from sources such as sugar, coal, wood, or flour that
can explosively combust.
A solid material composed of distinct particles or pieces, regardless of size, shape or chemical
composition, which can present a fire or deflagration hazard when suspended in air.
, Pyrophoric Material ✔Correct Answer-means a chemical substance or mixture that will ignite
spontaneously in dry or moist air at or below 130°F (54.4°C).
Decay Phase ✔Correct Answer-The phase of fire development in which the fire has consumed
either the available fuel or oxygen and is starting to die down.
Flashover ✔Correct Answer-Stage of a fire at which all surfaces and objects within a space
have been heated to their ignition temperature, and flame breaks out almost at once over the
surface of all objects in the space.
Growth Phase ✔Correct Answer-The phase of fire development in which the fire is spreading
beyond the point of origin and beginning to involve other fuels in the immediate area.
Fire Science ✔Correct Answer-The body of knowledge concerning the study of fire and related
subjects (such as combustion, flame, products of combustion, heat release, heat transfer, fire
and explosion chemistry, fire and explosion dynamics, thermodynamics, kinetics, fluid
mechanics, fire safety) and their interaction with people, structures, and the environment.

Boiling Point: > 100° F
Examples: Acetone, ethanol, gasoline, isopropyl alcohol, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, octane,
toluene.
Class IC Flammable Liquid ✔Correct Answer-Flashpoint: > 73° F and <100° F
Boiling Point: All boiling points
Examples: Isobutyl alcohol, mineral spirits, styrene monomer, turpentine, xylene

Class IIIA Flammable Liquid ✔Correct Answer-Flashpoint at or above 140°F but below 200°F
Class IIIB Flammable Liquid ✔Correct Answer-Flashpoint at or above 200°F
Red Fire Hydrant flow rate ✔Correct Answer-0 - 500 gpm
Orange Fire Hydrant flow rate ✔Correct Answer-501 - 1000 gpm
Green Fire Hydrant flow rate ✔Correct Answer-1001 - 1500 gpm
