WASHINGTON LAWS AND RULES PERTINENT TO
INSURANCE EXAM 2024 {graded A}


true - CORRECT ANSWER Probable cause is not needed to obtain an
administrative search warrant.
a.True
b.False

conduction - CORRECT ANSWER Heat transfer to another body or
within a body by direct contact is called:
a.Conduction.
b.Convection.
c.Radiation.
d.Pyrolysis.

true - CORRECT ANSWER Fuses and circuit breakers provide
protection against electrical short circuits, ground/earth faults,and
load currents that might be damaging (i.e. overloads) to the building
electrical system.Properly functioning circuit protection may allow the
elimination of the buildings wiring system as a potential cause of the
fire.
a.True
b.False

false - CORRECT ANSWER In pre-flashover conditions the primary
heat transfer mechanism for fire spread through a
compartment is radiation.
a.True
b.False

false - CORRECT ANSWER In a compartment, flashover occurs
because convective heat energy raises combustible to their auto-
ignition temperature.
a.True
b.False

,true - CORRECT ANSWER Combustion may continue with available
oxygen concentrations lower than 1 percent.
a.True
b.False

true - CORRECT ANSWER The way structures react in a fire often
influence how the fire grows and spreads as well as how theymaintain
their structural integrity during the fire. Therefore, the fire investigator
should considerthe type of structure and method of construction when
completing the analysis of fire growth and spread as a part of their fire
investigation.
a.True
b.False

false - CORRECT ANSWER Materials which have been properly
treated with flame-retardants will not undergo pyrolysis andfor this
reason will not ignite.
a.True
b.False

empirical - CORRECT ANSWER Data that is based on observation or
experience and can be verified is called:
a.Anecdotal data
b.Empirical data
c.Qualitative data
d.Categorical data

true - CORRECT ANSWER Inductive reasoning is when all available
empirical data is analyzed using the investigator's experience,
training, knowledge and expertise.
a.True
b.False

deductive reasoning - CORRECT ANSWER Testing of a hypothesis by
comparing the investigators hypothesis to all known facts is
using____________ reasoning.
a.Deductive

,b.Inductive
c.Both A and B
d.Neither A or B

all of the above - CORRECT ANSWER Which of the following can be
defined as a fuel gas?
a.Natural gas
b.Liquefied petroleum gas
c.Manufactured gases
d. all of the above

all of the above - CORRECT ANSWER Prior to conducting an on scene
investigation many things should be identified, including:
a.Date and time of incident
b.Size and complexity of the incident
c.Purpose of the investigation
d.All of the above

true - CORRECT ANSWER Luminescent flame temperatures are
dependant on the fuel to oxygen ratio.
a.True
b.False

timeline - CORRECT ANSWER The investigative tool used to
graphically or in a narrative manner depict events relating to a fire or
explosion in chronological order is called:
a.Timeline
b.Systems analysis
c.Fault tree
d.Computer modeling

Fault tree - CORRECT ANSWER A diagram that places, in a logical
sequence, the conditions and chains of events that are necessaryfor a
fire or explosion to occur is called:
a.Timeline
b.Systems analysis
c.Fault tree
d.Computer modeling

, true - CORRECT ANSWER Protected areas result from an object or
item prohibiting the products of combustion from depositingon
materials which the object protects.
a.True
b.False

backdraft - CORRECT ANSWER A deflagration resulting from the
sudden introduction of air into a confined space containing
oxygendeficient products of incomplete combustion.
a.Flashover
b.Flameover
c.Smoke Explosion
d.Backdraft

the geometric shape of the pattern - CORRECT ANSWER What does
the "V" in V-pattern represent?
a.Vector - pattern
b.Virtual - pattern
c.The geometric shape of the pattern
d.Represents the name of the first individual who recognized the
pattern
