1. What is the primary function of the fire department pumper?
A. Transport water to areas beyond a water system.
B. Suppress flammable liquid fires and spill vapours at airports.
C. Provide water at an adequate pressure for fire streams.
D. Possess the ability to pump and roll. - ANSWER ✔ C. Provide water
at an adequate pressure for fire streams.
2. Which legislation allows for the establishment of a fire service in Ontario?
A. Highway Traffic Act (HTA)
B. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
C. Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA)
D. Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) - ANSWER ✔ C. Fire
Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA)
3. How does NFPA 1500 increase safety for fire apparatus design?
A. Allows seat belts to be optional in an enclosed cab.
B. States that firefighters must wear helmets in an enclosed cab.
C. Requires all members be seated in an enclosed cab.
, D. Mandates that SCBA must be donned in an enclosed cab. - ANSWER
✔ C. Requires all members be seated in an enclosed cab.
4. Aerial Apparatus Equipped with Fire Pumps - ANSWER ✔ an apparatus
that has the ability to supply its own master streams and may function with
the capabilities of an engine or a ladder company
5. Rescue Apparatus Equipped with Fire Pumps - ANSWER ✔ apparatus with
small fire pumps and tanks to extinguish small fires, May also feature tanks
that feature foam proportioning equipment and a tank for foam concentrate.
often designed with the pump panel and one or more preconnected hoselines
housed in a compartment.
6. Trailer-Mounted Fire Pumps - ANSWER ✔ These units are often used to
replace pumping apparatus on long-term pump operations such as fires in
petroleum storage facilites, landfills, and similar locations.
7. Apparatus-Mounted Special Systems - ANSWER ✔ - electric power
generators
- scene lighting
- electrical power distribution equipment
- rescue tools
8. Inverter - ANSWER ✔ Step-up transformer that converts a vehicle's 12-or
24-volt DC current into 110-or 220-volt AC current.
9. Electric Power Generators - ANSWER ✔ The generators are used to power
electrical equipment used at scenes.
Typically, vehicle-mounted generators have a larger
capacity than portable units.
, • Powered by gasoline, diesel, power-take-off, or hydraulic
systems • Have 110 and 220 volt capabilities
• Have capacities up to 12,000 watts
10.fixed generator - ANSWER ✔ systems with capacities of 50,000 watts or
greater. Apparatus-mounted generators with separate engines may create
noisy work environments near the apparatus making radio and face-to-face
communication difficult
11.Scene Lighting - ANSWER ✔ - Most fire department pumpers are equipped
with some amount of scene lighting
- The driver/operator must be proficient in the setup and
operation of this equipment as well as have an awareness of
the capabilities and limitations of these systems.
-The lighting equipment carried on pumping apparatus may be portable or
fixed.
-Ranging from 300 to 1,000 watts,
12.Portable lighting - ANSWER ✔ - Portable lights are advantageous during
incidents where illumination is needed some distance away from a piece of
apparatus, or where additional lights are required.
- Some portable lights feature telescoping stands that allow a
scene to be illuminated from an elevated position.
13.Fixed lighting - ANSWER ✔ The fixed lights mounted on a vehicle provide
general lighting around the apparatus and nearby scene. Often these lights
are mounted so that they may be raised, lowered, or turned to provide the
best possible lighting.
.generally have a capacity of 500 to 1,500 watts per light. Lighting should be
connected only to power generators that can handle the additional wattage
load. Overtaxing the electrical supply will result in poor lighting quality,
, damage to the lighting and generator equipment, and restriction of other
tools operated with the same power source
14.Electrical Power Distribution Equipment - ANSWER ✔ The use of
extension cords during incident operations is a common occurrence.
Electrical cords may be stored on apparatus in coils, portable reels, or fixed
automatic rewind reels.
Adapters should also be carried on the apparatus to allow rescuers to plug
their equipment into standard electrical outlets or electrical equipment from
other agencies that use different types of connections. I
15.Rescue Tools - ANSWER ✔ a variety of extrication/ forcible entry
equipment used to perform some of the duties of rescue apparatus.
common rescue tools found on pumping apparatus include the following:
- Extrication equipment such as spreaders and shears
- Combination spread and shear tools
- Extension rams
typically hydraulic sometimes electric
16.Maintenance vs Repair? - ANSWER ✔ - Maintenance refers to keeping
apparatus in a state of usefulness or readiness.
- while repair means to restore that which has become
inoperable.
17.driver/operators to be able to perform routine tests, inspections, and
servicing of the following systems - ANSWER ✔ • Batteries
• Oil
• Braking systems
• Coolant system
