Pumper EOC Test UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
allowing the fire apparatus to idle over an extended period of time can lead to all the following
except: - CORRECT ANSWER - engine fatigue
identify three conditions where you should drive your fire apparatus in low gear: - CORRECT
ANSWER - -climbing a hill
-traveling under an overpass
-approaching an intersection
before driving over a guarded railroad crossing during an emergency response: - CORRECT
ANSWER - look both right and left and proceed cautiously
you may need to perform a confined space turnaround: - CORRECT ANSWER - for a
reverse hose lay in a narrow street or intersection
the purchase acceptance test on a new fire apparatus should focus on: - CORRECT
ANSWER - bid specifications
you should never back a fire apparatus : - CORRECT ANSWER - if you don't have at least
one spotter
when determining your own friction loss coefficients, the water flow discharged from the nozzle
is usually measured with a: - CORRECT ANSWER - pilot guage
your fire team is about to use a 1in solid stream nozzle. you tell them they can expect a "nozzle
reaction" which in laymans terms means: - CORRECT ANSWER - the counter force to
the force of water discharged from the nozzle
, bouncing water off the inside walls of the nozzle bore to create a fog pattern is called: -
CORRECT ANSWER - periphery deflection
you figure pressure loss in a single line hose flowing at 350gpm to be 45 psi. Then a coupling is
added and the nozzle is taken to the 6th floor of a burning structure. The friction loss for this new
layout is now: - CORRECT ANSWER - 80psi
using the hand method, the estimated friction loss for 300 feet of 2 1/2in hose at 200gpm is
approximately: - CORRECT ANSWER - 24psi
determine the TPL for a hose assembly in which 400 feet of 5in hose is wyed into one 200 foot
section of 2 1/2in hose and one 300 foot section of 2 1/2in hose. each attack hose is flowing at
200gpm - CORRECT ANSWER - 39psi
the term specific heat refers to the: - CORRECT ANSWER - ability of any substance to
absorb heat
most flowmeters in use today have a design based on: - CORRECT ANSWER - a spring
probe
the special purpose nozzle that is often driven through building walls is the: - CORRECT
ANSWER - piercing nozzle
determine the TPL for a hose assembly in which there is 1000 feet of 5in suppy line that is wyed
into two 100ft section of a 1 1/2in handline. the hand lines are each flowing at 150gpm -
CORRECT ANSWER - 61.2psi
"C" in the formula FL=C Qsquared L represents the - CORRECT ANSWER - hose
diameter coefficient
