,Fire spreading from a wall to a nearby couch due to heat reflectivity
radiant heat transfer is an example of:
Fire develops through four stages: incipient, growth, ___, Fully-developed
and decay.
When a structural member such as a window, roof, or unplanned
doorway fails, introducing a new source of oxygen to a
fire, ___ ventilation has occurred.
Sawdust ignites more easily than a long because the surface-to-mass ratio
sawdust has a higher:
A collapsed storage shed that is fully involved in flames fully-developed fuel-limited fire
would be an example of a:
heat that is radiated to the insulating air layer between can cause heat stress and failure of the PPE
PPE and your body:
What will establish new flow pass between the fire Firefighters advancing a hose line through an open door or ventilating windows to
compartment and exterior vents of the building? make entry into a building
When a substance changes from one type of matter into chemical reaction
another, such as two or more substances combining to
form compounds, the substance undergoes a:
Gaseous fuels can be the most dangerous of all fuel are already in the physical state required for ignition
types because they:
What occurs when a mixture of unburned fuel gases and smoke explosion
oxygen come in contact with an ignition source?
Which heat transfer mechanism is dependent on several convection
factors including the turbulence and velocity of moving
gases?
In a compartment fire, smoke flashover indicators include darkening color
rapidly increasing volume, turbulence, optical density,
and:
the flow path of a structure fire is comprised of two hot exhaust flow out
regions: the ambient air flow in and the:
, The ___ stage of fire development occurs when the heat fully developed
release rate of the fire has reached its peak.
What may occur if water is added to a burning liquid that The water may disperse the burning liquid instead of extinguishing it
is less dense than water?
To ensure that the decay stage of a ventilation-limited fire restricting ventilation until the heat transfers out of the compartment
is the fire's final stage, firefighters must provide a
controlled transmission of a fire in the decay stage from
ventilation-limited to fuel-limited, by:
What may occur in an oxidation reaction when the heat spontaneous ignition
generated exceeds the heat being lost?
Which type of electrical heating occurs when the current overcurrent or overload
flowing through a conductor exceeds its design limits?
Which is an indicator for potential backdraft? pulsing smoke movement around small openings in the building
How does a compartment fire affect pressure in and Heat from a fire increases the pressure of the surrounding gases
around gases in the compartment?
Which statement describes a fire in the incipient stage? the temperature is only slightly above the ambient in areas that the fire, bloom,
and ceiling jet directly affect
What is the most effective means of establishing performing and updating pre incident surveys
awareness of hazards in commercial, industrial, and
storage facilities with large fuel loads?
A fuels chemical content influences its heat release rate heat of combustion
and it's:
which statement describes the factor that most influences whether the fire is fuel limited or ventilation limited
compartment fire development?
Which type of buildings are subject to rapid fire spread Buildings are under construction
because of many of the protective features such as
gypsum wallboard and automatic fire suppression
systems are not in place?
