Pump OPS EXAM comprehensive questions and verified
answers ACTUAL EXAM 2026 TEST!! Graded A+
how are NFPA and NYS traffic laws different?
NFPA standards require operators to stop at specific types of intersections
they intend to cross while in emergency mode. NYS laws do not require
you to stop.
NYS law allows drivers to
stop stand or park irrespective of the provisions of this title
proceed past a steady red signal, a flashing red signal or a stop sign but only
after slowing down as may be necessary for the safe operation
exceed speed limits as long as you do not danger life or property
disregard regulations governing directions of movement or turning in
specified directions
usually the court will judge the actions of an emergency driver how?
was the unit responding to a true emergency?
did the driver/operator exercise due regard for the safety of others
did the driver/operator violate any local or state laws or recognized
standards?
nfpa 1901
Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus design
,water supplied by an engine may come from a number of different resources
such as
engines tank
static water sources (ponds, lakes
etc) fire hydrant
or come from another engine such as in a relay operation
NFPA standard states that the minimum pump capacity for pumper fire
apparatus shall be Gallons per minute
750 GPM
fire pumps are rated at draft thru ______ ft of hard suction hose and strainer with
___________________________________________________________________________ ft
lift. This testing applied to pumps up to and including GPM
20
10
1500
for _______ GPM pumps the required lift height drops toFT and requires the use of
_ ______________ each with appropriate strainers.
for 2000 GPM pumps or larger the lift height drops to Ft
1750
8 ft
double suction
hose 6 ft
, Positive Displacement Pump 2 types
piston
rotary
piston pumps
self priming
found in operations utilizing high pressures like booster lines
rotary gear pumps
positive displacement pumps that use rotary motion to produce pumping
action. it operates by trapping water or air in cavities between the two turning
gears and then
moving the material to the discharge side of the pump. this style pump is self
priming and was widely used as a priming pump for the larger centrifugal
pump
Rotary vane pump
traps material and forces it out the discharge side. a vane pump used a round
housing and an offset camshaft with movable veins in it. as the shaft turns
the vanes ride along the housing removing the air each time the vane
passes the input side on the pump. this style pump is use as a priming
pump for the fire service centrifugal pumps
