Firefighter Overton is at the scene of an aircraft fuel fire and
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
needs to get close enough to the fire to suppress the fire
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
without having direct flame contact. The correct PPE for this
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
operations is: !|
proximity.
Garments that have chemically added fire-resistant properties !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
tend to lose their fire-resistance properties after:
!| !| !| !| !| !|
100 washes. !|
Determining when to wear PPE and the type of PPE required is !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
primarily based on: !| !|
The type of hazards the emergency responder may encounter
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
during emergency operations. !| !|
All of the structural fire PPE components are important to the
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
safety of the firefighter; in order to meet standards, the boots
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
of the structural fire PPE must be:
!| !| !| !| !| !|
8 inches high.

The personal protective clothing designed to protect responders
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
from chemicals giving off hazardous gases that can be absorbed
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
through the skin is: !| !| !|
chemical vapor protective clothing with SCBA. !| !| !| !| !|
,Responder Kirby is engaged in clean-up and recovery operations !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
at a hazardous materials spill. The specific type and
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
concentration of the chemical are known, and exposure !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
presents no skin absorption hazards. Readings of the !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
atmosphere indicate that oxygen levels are around 20.9%. !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
The correct CPC Responder Kirby should wear at this incident is:
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
Level C. !|
The primary difference between Level B and Level C protective
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
clothing is: !|
Level B provides a higher level of respiratory protection.
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
Identify the TWO most significant considerations for water
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
rescue PPE. !|
body heat conservation & Flotation
!| !| !| !|
2 multiple choice options

Firefighters in your department respond to a multi-vehicle !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
accident that requires both fire fighting operations to extinguish
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
a car fire and victim treatment and extrication. The firefighters
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
should ONLY be allowed to perform both functions if their
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
structural fire fighting clothing is: !| !| !| !|
dual certified. !|
In extreme conditions, wildland firefighters can find themselves
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
in direct flame environments from which they cannot evacuate.
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
In this situation the firefighters should use
!| !| !| !| !| !|
a fire shelter
!| !|
Are you ready for inspection? Advanced PPE inspections should
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
be performed
!|
once a year or at intervals specified by the PPE manufacturer
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
Identify THREE DOs for proper cleaning, repair, or storage of PPE
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
, Remove liners from shells when washing protective clothing
!| !| !| !| !| !| !|
Allow emergency responders to make certain small repairs to
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
damaged PPE, such as torn stitching. !| !| !| !| !|
Store soiled PPE in well-ventilated areas away from living
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
quarters
The decision whether to dispose of damaged PPE or to try and
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
repair it is often based on: !| !| !| !| !|
a cost/benefit analysis.

HSO Foster is responsible for developing the selection criteria
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
for her department's respiratory protection plan. To do this she
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
must first determine !| !|
how and when respirators will be used during routine work
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
activities and emergency operations !| !| !|
Identify THREE areas that must be described in your
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
department's respiratory protection program !| !| !|
selection criteria !|
fit testing
!|
use requirements/specifications
!|
SCBAs are used in most fire fighting situations. The primary
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
advantage an SCBA is that it: !| !| !| !| !|
provides the highest level of respiratory protection and is for
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
IDLH atmospheres. !|
An air line respirator cannot be used in an IDLH atmosphere
!| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !| !|
unless:
it is accompanied by a second air supply.
!| !| !| !| !| !| !|
APRs should NEVER be used when the:
