Firefighter's Responsibility: - correct answer To protect Life and Property.
Most Basic Principle of Firefighting: - correct answer Human life takes precedence over all other concerns.
Concept 1 - correct answer When sufficient manpower isn't available to effect both rescue and extinguishment at the same time, rescue must be given priority.
Concept 2 - correct answer When you don't have sufficient manpower to perform all of the needed tasks, first perform those that protect the greatest number of lives.
Concept 3 - correct answer Remove those in greatest danger first. Generally, those in the immediate vicinity of the fire are in the greatest danger and should be removed first. The next highest priority is those directly above the fire. After these individuals, the removal may skip a floor or more and shift to the top floor, since this is where the heat and smoke will begin to accumulate more rapidly. Those people
below the fire are usually the last priority.
Concept 4 - correct answer When sufficient manpower are available to perform both tasks, they must carry out a coordinated attack.
Concept 5 - correct answer When there is no threat to occupant, the lives of firefighters should not be unduly endangered.
