products to allow the entry of cooler air and facilitate rescue and fire fighting operations
Salvage Correct answer-firefighters should do their best to protect the property that was not
damaged by the fire or could be damaged by fire, smoke,water, and related extinguishment activities

Preincident planning Correct answer-planning is a process of preparing for operations at the scene
of a given hazard or occupancy
Fire management zone (FMZ) Correct answer-the zone is within an engine company's area where
similar hazards are grouped by approximately equal needed fire flow and hazard
Siamese connection Correct answer-a hose fitting designed with a double hose line connection
that allows two hose lines to be connected into one (generally larger) line is called a connection
Control valves Correct answer-a valve is used to control the flow of water in sprinkler or standpipes
systems
