How to Use This Guide
Read each stem, choose your answer, then check the rationale directly below it. The correct option is marked, and each
wrong option is explained so you understand why it's wrong — not just that it is.
Preincident Planning & Data Management
1 Which of the following is included in the development process for preincident plans?
A Elevations
B Floor plans only
C Site access only
D Hazardous materials only
Why A is correct: Elevations are included in the development process for preincident plans. Elevations show side views
of structures depicting the number of floors in a building.
B — Floor plans are included but not exclusively.
C — Site access is included but not exclusively.
D — Hazardous materials information is included but not exclusively.
2 Which of the following types of facility survey drawings shows side views of structures that depict the
number of floors in a building?
A Floor plans
B Elevations
C Plot plans
D Schematic drawings
Why B is correct: Elevations are facility survey drawings that show side views of structures and depict the number of
floors in a building.
A — Floor plans show interior views.
C — Plot plans show the exterior and site access.
D — Schematic drawings are simplified representations.
, 3 The three major tasks of managing preincident data include gathering data, entering data into databases,
and:
A Keeping data current
B Sharing data with other agencies
C Archiving data
D Analyzing data
Why A is correct: The three major tasks of managing preincident data are gathering data, entering data into databases,
and keeping data current.
B — Sharing data is important but not one of the three major tasks.
C — Archiving data is not one of the three major tasks.
D — Analyzing data is not one of the three major tasks.
4 Data gathered during occupancy survivability profiling assists in determining:
A If occupants can survive smoke conditions
B Fire spread potential
C Structural collapse potential
D Water supply requirements
Why A is correct: Occupancy survivability profiling data assists in determining if occupants can survive smoke
conditions.
B — Fire spread potential is a different assessment.
C — Structural collapse is a different assessment.
D — Water supply is a different assessment.
5 According to the NFPA®, the upper human survivability limit is approximately:
A 212°F (100°C)
B 150°F (65°C)
C 250°F (121°C)
D 180°F (82°C)
Why A is correct: According to the NFPA, the upper human survivability limit is approximately 212°F (100°C).
B — 150°F is below the survivability limit.
C — 250°F exceeds the survivability limit.
D — 180°F is below the survivability limit.
