5)CORRECT 100%
What must an officer do if there is a fire? - ANSWER1: Sound the alarm.
2: Call Main Control (Give name, location, type of fire and hold for verification)
What supports combustion and life? - ANSWEROxygen
What three elements are required for a fire? - ANSWERFuel, Oxygen, and Heat
What is required to make a Fire Tetrahedron? - ANSWERFuel, Oxygen, Heat, and a
Chemical Chain Reaction
What is a Chemical Chain Reaction? - ANSWERIn the burning process fuel
elements (compounds) are released by heat produced by fire. These elements join in
the fire (combined with oxygen) to produce more heat which releases more fuel
elements.
What percentage of oxygen is needed to breathe normal air? - ANSWER21%

- Exclude oxygen (dirt, blanket, CO2, Multipurpose Extinguisher)
-Break Chemical Chain Reaction (Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher)
Class K Fire Extinguisher - ANSWERKitchen Fires ONLY
What does EBA stand for? - ANSWEREscape Breathing Apparatus
What do you use on Class A fires? - ANSWERCool Water (Reduces Temp)
