,Section A - General Administration AND Management
Q1.
A high-rise office building has a standpipe system designed to provide water for fire
department use. What is the minimum number of hose connections required on each floor
per the current edition of NFPA 14?
A. One, located in the stairwell B. One per 2,000 sq ft of floor area, with a
minimum of two
C. Two, located on opposite sides of the D. One per 1,000 sq ft of floor area, with a
floor minimum of one per floor
Correct: B - One per 2,000 sq ft of floor area, with a minimum of two
Rationale:
NFPA 14 requires hose connections so that all portions of the floor are within 30 m (100 ft) of
a connection measured along the path of travel. This typically results in at least one per 2,000
sq ft with a minimum of two per floor to ensure coverage. Option A fails if the floor is large;
option C is a general rule but not the code language; option D requires more than necessary.
Q2.
During an inspection of a newly installed automatic sprinkler system, you observe that the
system has a 2-inch drain riser with a visible flow test connection at the end of the main.
What is the primary purpose of the main drain test?
A. To verify the water supply pressure meets B. To ensure the system is free of
the system design requirements obstructions and debris
C. To check the operation of the alarm D. To confirm that the fire department
check valve connection is properly installed
Correct: B - To ensure the system is free of obstructions and debris
Rationale:
The main drain test is performed to flush the system and confirm water supply is adequate
and free of obstructions. While it also indicates static and residual pressures, its primary
purpose is to prove the piping is clear. Option A is secondary; option C is tested via
inspector's test; option D is unrelated.
Q3.
A mixed-use building contains a restaurant on the first floor and apartments above. The
restaurant has a cooking exhaust system with a grease duct. According to NFPA 96, at
what frequency must the entire grease removal system be inspected for grease
accumulation?
Page 3
, Section A - General Administration AND Management
A. Monthly B. Quarterly
C. Semi-annually D. Annually
Correct: A - Monthly
Rationale:
NFPA 96 requires inspection of the entire grease removal system, including ductwork, at
intervals determined by the volume of cooking, but at least monthly for systems such as those
found in hi-volume restaurants. Annual inspection is insufficient for fire safety in commercial
cooking operations.
Q4.
An inspector reviews the fire alarm system design for a new college dormitory. The
system includes manual pull stations. At what maximum distance from any point on the
floor must a manual pull station be located?
A. 60 ft (18.3 m) measured along the path of B. 200 ft (61 m) measured along the path of
travel travel
C. The building's occupant load divided by D. Pull stations are not required in
100 in feet dormitories
Correct: B - 200 ft (61 m) measured along the path of travel
Rationale:
NFPA 72 requires manual pull stations to be located so that the travel distance to any pull
station does not exceed 200 ft (61 m) in any occupancy, including dormitories. Option A is for
fire extinguishers; option C is unrelated; option D is incorrect as dormitories require manual
pull stations.
Q5.
During a plan review of a warehouse storing idle wooden pallets, what is the maximum
allowable storage height for the pallets if the area is not protected by automatic
sprinklers?
A. 6 ft (1.8 m) B. 8 ft (2.4 m)
C. 12 ft (3.7 m) D. No height limit if the pallets are in racks
Correct: B - 8 ft (2.4 m)
Rationale:
NFPA 13 (and IFC) generally limit storage of idle pallets to 8 ft (2.4 m) in unsprinklered areas
to reduce fire hazard. Higher storage would require sprinkler protection. Option A is too
conservative; option C is too high without sprinklers; option D is false.
