constrict
Masonry construction can One piece or crumble
collapse in ___

travel some distance and
cause what?
Walls in type V construction Inward or outward
may collapse

What is a curtain collapse? Materials fall straight down
Lightweight trusses and Minutes
engineered floor systems can
fail in _________
Collapse of structures using Lightweight
_________ construction can
occur early in the incident
without warning
What type of buildings can Abandoned buildings
pose an even greater
danger of fire in collapse?
- building size
What features will affect the - compartmentation
length of time the structure - construction type
will maintain integrity under - fuel load
- Materials
heat exposure? (5 total)
The ______ can easily indicate Stage of the fire
the
quantity of heat that the
structure has been exposed
to and the potential for
structural collapse
Why is collapse more likely Due to the weakened state of structural members and the build
in the decay stage and up of water
during post-suppression
activities?
- generating higher temperatures
How can the contents within
- adding dead weight
the structure contribute to
- increasing weight from water retention
collapse? (3 total)
What are two ways you - preincidentplans
can gain knowledge of the - inspections
contents within a
structure?
A _______ must be established Collapse zone
adjacent to any exposed
exterior walls of the
3/66

structure
Traditionally, collapse 1-1/2
zones have been
estimated by multiplying
the height of the structure
by a factor of ______
- indications that prolonged fire or heat has weakened the
structure
Collapse zones should be
established when: (3 -A defensive strategy has been adopted
total)
- Interior operations cannot be justified
- type of building construction
The size of a collapse zone
- other exposures
must take into
- safest location for apparatus and personnel
consideration the
following: (3 total)
- begin exiting the building, and inform command and all others
What 3 immediate action
inside
steps must be taken if
- establish and clear the collapse zone
firefighters suspect a - roll call
collapse?
When a collapse is To cautiously place unstaffed master stream devices and then
suspected, what is the only immediately withdraw
exception to personnel
working in the collapse
zone?
What are the two primary - conditions that contribute to the spread and intensity of the fire
types of
dangerous conditions that - conditions that make the building susceptible to collapse
may be posed by a
particular building?
What is one danger HVAC Ducts can move heated air and products of combustion
