on a high-rise? - 100 correct answer as-division 7
Which of the following items would not be found in the risk/benefit
philosophy of a risk management plan? - 100 correct answer
as-Where no life or valued property can be saved, risk may be
taken by fire fighters.
The type of call, action taken, number of injuries or fatalities, and
the property usage information are all entries to be included on
a/an ______ Report. - 100 correct answer as-National Fire
Incident Reporting System
All of the following are times or events when the Incident
Commander may call for PAR except when: - 100 correct
answer as-there is an emergency evacuation.
,Which one of the following is not a method by which foam acts as
a suppression agent? - 100 correct answer as-Cooling
Firefighting foam solution is _____ percent water. - 100 correct
answer as-94 to 99.9
The preferred method of controlling flammable liquid fires is: -
100 correct answer as-the use of foam.
Foam, rather than water, is chosen to control a hydrocarbon fire
because: - 100 correct answer as-its specific gravity is less
than that of the burning fuel.
1. The term "masonry" applies to brick, block and stone.2.
Masonry is inherently resistive to the effects of fire.3. Rapid
cooling caused by the application of hose streams during fire
suppression can cause a masonry wall to spall, crack or
otherwise deteriorate. - 100 correct answer as-All three
statements are true.
1. Steel by itself is fire resistive.2. Steel will both expand and lose
strength as it is heated.3. There are no accurate indicators that
enable fire fighters to predict when a steel beam will fail. - 100
correct answer as-C. Statement 1 is false; statements 2 and
3 are true.
An all metal building is classified as a: - 100 correct answer
as-type 2
When containers of flammable gases are exposed to flame
impingement, the water for cooling the container should be
applied to cool the: - 100 correct answer as-container base.
,Fire fighters should always remember how they gained entry into
a building because: - 100 correct answer as-the fire
investigator may want to know.
When extricating a patient from a motor vehicle crash,
disassemble refers to the: - 100 correct answer as-actual
taking apart of the vehicle components.
The most common hazard encountered at a confined space
incident is: - 100 correct answer as-an oxygen deficient
atmosphere
Building construction is an important factor to be identified in a
preincident survey. While conducting a survey on a property, you
observe the structure members are of noncombustible materials
but may not have fire resistive protection. How would you identify
this construction type on the survey form? - 100 correct
answer as-Type II
Heat detectors: - 100 correct answer as-are slow to activate
Which of the following should not be used as a control valve for
an automatic sprinkler system?
A. Post indicator valve
B. Wall post indicator valve
C. Outside screw and yoke
D. Gate valve - 100 correct answer as-gate valve
A fire hazard that arises from processes or operations that are
related to a specific occupancy best defines a/an _______
hazard. - 100 correct answer as-spacial
, A sprinkler head with a temperature rating of 135°-170°F would
be: - 100 correct answer as-either uncolored or black.
Upon receiving an alarm from a proprietary alarm system, the
personnel manning the central alarm point should: - 100
correct answer as-contact the appropriate agency.
A ________ system is used to protect large commercial and
industrial buildings and is staffed and supervised on the property.
- 100 correct answer as-central station
Which of the following is not a common type of automatic alarm
system? - 100 correct answer as-Cell Phone Initiated
System
Which of the following is not one of the commonly used release
mechanisms to activate a sprinkler? - 100 correct answer
as-Valve cap
To determine whether there is any slippage of couplings when
testing hose: - 100 correct answer as-mark the hose by
each coupling using a pencil/marker.
Policies are examples of standing plans designed to provide: -
100 correct answer as-guidance for decision making.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Incident
Command System?
A. Integrated communications
B. Predesignated facilities
C. Modular organization
