Question 12:
A BC conducting drill with local units on gas emergencies had to address which incorrect comment made?
A: An “Explosion Profile” is the size-up of a building’s explosion potential based on the current amount of natural gas and gas energy within the structure. To determine this, the amount of natural gas present and the size of the area the gas is accumulating in should be estimated.
B: A 10-75 and 10-80 Code 1, specifying a “Major Gas Emergency,” should be transmitted to the dispatcher when an incident is determined to be a Major Gas Emergency.
C: The IC may modify the assignment assigned on a 10-75 and 10-80 Code 1 for a “Major Gas Emergency” to meet incident needs after careful consideration and consultation with the Rescue Battalion via cell phone (preferred) or 800 MHz radio.
D: When a 10-75 and 10-80 Code 1 specifying a “Major Gas Emergency” is transmitted, the IC should also transmit the location of the designated Command Post and Staging Area.
C: The IC may modify the assignment assigned on a 10-75 and 10-80 Code 1 for a “Major Gas Emergency” to meet incident needs after careful consideration and consultation with the Rescue Battalion via cell phone (preferred) or 800 MHz radio.
Explanation:
The IC may modify the assignment assigned on a 10-75 and 10-80 Code 1 for a “Major Gas Emergency” to meet incident needs after careful consideration and consultation with the HAZ-MAT BATTALION via cell phone or 800 MHz radio (PREFERRED).
EP Gas 7.2, 7.3
Question 13:
Sound strategy at gas emergencies can be found in which choice below?
A: The officer not put to work by the IC should be the Safety Officer until relieved by the assigned Battalion Chief designated as the Safety Officer.
B: As soon as possible, the IC should transmit to the dispatcher a concise description of the conditions, % LEL of meter readings taken with the locations, and tactics implemented.
C: Stopping a leak from a high pressure main will generally require the Utility Company construction crew plug or clamp (squeeze) the pipe to interrupt natural gas flow. The request should be made as early as possible to allow for the long reflex time for this resource.
D: Medium and low pressure natural gas mains present much greater risk as large amounts of gas will escape. Stopping a leak generally involves the Utility Company finding and operating the correct upstream valves to interrupt the flow of natural gas.
B: As soon as possible, the IC should transmit to the dispatcher a concise description of the conditions, % LEL of meter readings taken with the locations, and tactics implemented.
Explanation:
A) The officer not put to work by the IC should be the STAGING AREA MANAGER until relieved by the assigned Battalion Chief designated as the Staging Area Manager.
C) Stopping a leak from a LOW PRESSURE main will generally require the Utility Company construction crew plug or clamp (squeeze) the pipe to interrupt natural gas flow. The request should be made as early as possible to allow for the long reflex time for this resource.
D) MEDIUM and HIGH pressure natural gas mains present much greater risk as large amounts of gas will escape. Stopping a leak generally involves the Utility Company finding and operating the correct upstream valves to interrupt the flow of natural gas.

Question 14:
You arrive at a gas emergency where a backhoe damaged a gas line in an excavation located in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Which tactic implemented below would be considered incorrect?
A: Check subsurface structures and surrounding basements/cellars for natural gas infiltration from the original leak, or secondary leaks as soon as possible.
B: Set up precautionary hose lines to control possible extension in case the natural gas ignites. Operate a hoseline into the excavation to protect against ignition and hasten isolation and repair.
C: Large caliber streams should be considered as their reach and volume is appropriate for defensive use. If the natural gas ignites, do not extinguish the fire but cool adjacent structures as necessary to prevent extension from radiant heat.
D: Locate valve locations if outside of the potential blast zone and create access for the Utility Company if blocked by vehicles, etc. (consider floor jacks, Hurst tool chains, NYPD Towing, resources through NYCEM, etc.) Relay valve identification numbers and locations to the Utility Company if representatives are not yet on scene.
B: Set up precautionary hose lines to control possible extension in case the natural gas ignites. Operate a hoseline into the excavation to protect against ignition and hasten isolation and repair.
Explanation:
AVOID operating into the excavation, as water accumulation here can impede isolation and repair.
Note: It is possible to have a natural gas leak where the backhoe was operating, another leak at the building line or in the building, and still another one at a coupling or where the service pipe connects to the Distribution Main. These additional leaks can go unnoticed and accumulate to explosive levels.
EP Gas 8 1
Question 15:
Which choice below displays an incorrect tactic for a major subsurface gas leak?
A: Use meters to determine how much natural gas has accumulated. From this, an estimate can be made as to the location/size of the potential blast zone; evacuate this area, keeping all personnel, except for trained Utility Company Personnel, outside of the potential blast zone.
B: Establish the potential blast zone and continue to monitor the perimeter for changes. Mark the potential blast zone with red, “DANGER DO NOT ENTER” tape and announce the potential blast zone boundaries over the handie-talkie and Department Radio.
C: Meter readings should be taken at subsurface structures (sewers and manholes) as natural gas may travel along sewer runs, and electric, gas or water conduit/pipe. Gas from a leaking pipe may travel some distance before finding a place to surface as pavement, snow or frozen ground can trap it underground.
D: As rapidly as possible, surrounding below-grade areas of adjacent buildings should be surveyed with meters. Natural gas may pass some buildings with little or no infiltration but enter others via points of entry and wall cracks. Continue to monitor exposures throughout the operation.
A: Use meters to determine how much natural gas has accumulated. From this, an estimate can be made as to the location/size of the potential blast zone; evacuate this area, keeping all personnel, except for trained Utility Company Personnel, outside of the potential blast zone.
Explanation:
evacuate this area, keeping ALL personnel (including responders and Utility Company personnel) out of the potential blast zone except for direct, lifesaving efforts.
EP Gas 8 2
Question 16:
A Company Commander drilling with his members on interior gas leak procedures made which incorrect statement?
A: If the Natural Gas Meter displays any readings at the building entrance/first floor, the Ladder Company Inside Team should go directly to the basement/cellar to investigate. Do not delay by going to a caller on an upper floor.
B: If the leak is found and can be controlled by a valve or, on low pressure service (or medium/high pressure service after the service regulator) by tapping/plugging, then do so.
C: If the leak is found and levels can be kept at less than 80% LEL by venting, you may continue to operate.
D: If levels can be kept at less than 80% LEL, remove ignition sources (shut breakers, pull fuses, shut off gas appliances, etc.) This may be done from an area whether or not it is in the explosive range.
D: If levels can be kept at less than 80% LEL, remove ignition sources (shut breakers, pull fuses, shut off gas appliances, etc.) This may be done from an area whether or not it is in the explosive range.
If levels can be kept at less than 80% LEL, remove ignition sources (shut breakers, pull fuses, shut off gas appliances, etc.) ONLY if this can be done from an area not within the explosive range.
