Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
According to NFPA, burning building collapse is the ________ leading cause of fireground
deaths.
a) First
b) Second
c) Third
d) Fourth - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- d
What are the three factors that will likely contribute to an increase in collapse of burning
buildings?
a) Older buildings that need to be maintained, abandon buildings, lightweight construction for
newer buildings.
b) Fire codes are out of date, Buildings are older, decorative finishings
c) Structural integrity of the building, Building material hazards, Fire code out of date.
d) none of the above - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a
True or False: Contents fire is as hazardous as a structural fire. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
False:
A contents fire is not as hazardous as a structural fire. Once it is determined that fire is
consuming or affecting the structure itself, we must recognize that fire may now affect the
gravity resistance of a building and poses a greater potential for structural collapse.
What is the definition of a Dead Load?
a) The weight of the building and any part of the building that is permanently attached or
built in.
,b) Any load in the building that is not built in and may vary, including environmental loads.
c) are loads that are delivered over a short period of time. In a fire, building elements that
have supported one another for years are unsettled. The overturning of a heavy live load (e.g.
a big safe) or a Firefighter jumping on a roof may be enough of an impact load to cause
collapse. If parts of a building system begin to collapse, this will represent an impact load that
can result in further collapse.
d) are live loads that are applied slowly and are then not moved, for example a large heavy
safe. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a
What is the definition of Live Load?
a) The weight of the building and any part of the building that is permanently attached or
built in.
b) Any load in the building that is not built in and may vary, including environmental loads.

What is the definition of Static Load?
a) The weight of the building and any part of the building that is permanently attached or
built in.
b) Any load in the building that is not built in and may vary, including environmental loads.

What is the definition of Repeated Loads?
a) are live loads that are applied intermittently. An example might be an industrial rolling
bridge crane that applies repeated loads to the columns as it passes over them.
b) is the force applied to a building or structural member by the wind. Firefighters operating
in or near buildings under construction must use extra caution, because the interconnection of
all building parts may not be complete, and temporary bracing may be inadequate.
, c) are heavy loads located at one point in a building over a small contact area. A beam resting
on a wall is a concentrated dead load. A safe is a concentrated live load.
d) Loads can be suspended by slender tensile members connected to beams or other
members. Although this technique can help to eliminate columns and the need for larger
compressive members to perform the same task, it can be hazardous for Firefighters. As in
lightweight - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- a
What is the definition of Wind Loads?
a) are live loads that are applied intermittently. An example might be an industrial rolling
