According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, When the first arriving apparatus is an aerial, how should it position the apparatus to maximize aerial utilization?
a. At a corner of the building
b. Past the address involved
c. Directly in front of the address involved
d. Near the nearest hydrant
A
o If the first arriving apparatus is an aerial, position apparatus at a corner of the building in order to maximize aerial utilization
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, What action should be taken to guarantee the first arriving pump/squad’s water supply?
a. Relay pump to another apparatus
b. Catch a hydrant
c. Call for additional units
d. Wait for instructions from Command
B
* Guarantee your own water supply by having a crew member catch a hydrant
o Where obvious signs of a working fire are visible enroute, consideration should be given to a forward lay as this involves minimal personnel
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, In case obvious signs of a working fire are visible enroute, what should be considered in terms of water supply?
a. Relay pump to another apparatus
b. Forward lay
c. Reverse lay
d. Request aerial support
B
Guarantee your own water supply by having a crew member catch a hydrant
o Where obvious signs of a working fire are visible enroute, consideration should be given to a forward lay as this involves minimal personnel
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, When conducting a size-up, what is an essential step?
a. Relay information to other units
b. Skip the size-up if immediate rescue is needed
c. Communicate via radio with other units
d. Perform a 360
D
* Communicate via radio if water supply cannot be secured
* Conduct a size-up, including a 360
* Effect any immediate rescue
* Advance hose lines for rescue, exposures, fire confinement and extinguishment
* If Command is not in a static position, transfer Command
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, What is the priority for the first arriving pump/squad after conducting a size-up?
a. Establishing Command
b. Advancing hose lines
c. Immediate rescue
d. Transferring Command
C
* Effect any immediate rescue
* Advance hose lines for rescue, exposures, fire confinement and extinguishment
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, When should Command be transferred?
a. After advancing hose lines
b. After conducting a 360
c. if it is not in a static position
d. When the second arriving apparatus arrives
C
If Command is not in a static position, transfer Command
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, Where should the second arriving pump/squad position the apparatus?
a. At the address involved
b. At a corner of the building
c. Past the address involved
d. At a second hydrant
D
* Position apparatus by a second hydrant, maintaining space for an aerial
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, What is the purpose of securing the second arriving pump/squad’s own water supply?
a. To maintain a steady water flow
b. To ensure the first hydrant or pump does not fail
c. To prepare for a relay pump operation
d. in case first hydrant or pump fails
C and D
* Secure your own water supply (in case first hydrant or pump fails). This shall be done after ensuring the initial arriving pump class apparatus has secured their own water source.
o Second water supply should be a blue hydrant if initial apparatus is connected to a hydrant with less flow
* May be required to relay pump to the first arriving pump class apparatus on a split lay when instructed by the IC (distance too great from hydrant to fire)
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, When should the second water supply be a blue hydrant?
a. When the initial apparatus has a less flow
b. When the initial hydrant or pump fails
c. When the second apparatus is an aerial
d. When directed by the Incident Commander (IC)
A
o Second water supply should be a blue hydrant if initial apparatus is connected to a hydrant with less flow
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, Under what circumstances might the second arriving pump/squad relay pump to the first arriving pump class apparatus?
a. In the case of a backup line failure
b. split lay or distance
c. If the hydrant is too close to the fire
d. If the first apparatus is not in Fast Attack Position
B
* May be required to relay pump to the first arriving pump class apparatus on a split lay when instructed by the IC (distance too great from hydrant to fire)
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, When can the second arriving pump/squad assume Command from the first arriving apparatus?
a. If the first arriving apparatus is in Fast Attack Position
b. Only if directed by the IC
c. When the first apparatus transfers Command
d. After establishing a water supply
A
- Assume Command from the first arriving apparatus if they are in Fast Attack Position
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, What is the primary purpose of positioning the first arriving aerial at a corner of the building?
a. Maximizing aerial utilization
b. Gaining access to the structure
c. Providing a second means of egress
d. Ensuring visibility for the crew
A
* Position apparatus at a corner of the building where practical in order to maximize aerial utilization
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, In addition to providing a second means of egress, what is another role of the first arriving aerial?
a. Primary search and rescue
b. Fire confinement and extinguishment
c. Tactical ventilation
d. Securing a water supply
e. A and C
E
* Provide second means of firefighter egress with aerial device or ground ladders
* Forcible Entry
* Perform search and rescue
* Tactical ventilation
According to the BFES Fire operations Manual, What should the first arriving aerial prioritize in terms of access to the structure?
a. Elevated Master Stream
b. Forcible Entry
c. Tactical ventilation
d. Immediate rescue operations
e. A and E
D
* Position apparatus to access the structure for:
o Rescue
o Elevated Master Stream
