Acute - correct answer A type of toxicity exposure that involves a one time exposure at a high
level
Advancing - correct answer The burned section of a wildfire that an investigator should enter
first in order to begin examining the wildfire
Aerial Layer - correct answer The layer in wildfire investigations, which begins at six feet above
and up and includes branches, tree moss, and leaves
Ambient Wind - correct answer The factor or force that can potentially overcome the fire's
tendency to burn uphill, and in turn force the fire to burn downhill
Ampacity - correct answer Conductor capacity
Ampere - correct answer Unit of electrical current
Arc - correct answer Luminous electrical discharge across a gap
Arc Mapping - correct answer An electrical analysis that is fundamentally pattern recognition
Arcing - correct answer An electrical event that is typically too brief and localized to be a
competent ignition source

ASTM E1618 - correct answer What standard governs evidence collection for accelerant testing?
Auto-ignition Temperature - correct answer The minimum temperature at which combustible
substance ignites without spark or flame
Axisymmetric Plume - correct answer A fire plume in the center of the room with no wall
interface
Backdraft - correct answer A low-order explosion that is the result of an oxygen-depleted fire
that produces high concentrations of incomplete combustion products, with a sudden mixture
of air into the accumulated fuels
Battery - correct answer The only source of electricity in a vehicle when the engine is not
running
Blast Pressure Front - correct answer The expanding leading edge of explosion reaction, which is
primarily responsible for explosion damage and injuries
BLEVE - correct answer The most frequently encountered mechanical explosion
BLEVE - correct answer An event that occurs when a vessel's contents are liquid and heating
causes the liquid to exceed its boiling point and failure of the vessel occurs
Rapid Boiling - correct answer This is the mechanism in a Mechanical Explosion, along with the
expansion of pressurized gas
