Two company officers discussing search tactics in private dwellings of lightweight construction were able to identify which incorrect comment?
A: The importance of conducting search operations in buildings built with traditional construction materials is less for buildings with lightweight construction.
B: Newer, lightweight buildings are more susceptible to collapse from the effects of fire and high heat; and a careful risk-reward evaluation must be conducted to ensure that firefighters are not placed at undue risk.
C: When lightweight components are exposed to fire or high heat, the IC should advise all members not to enter the fire area and the area(s) directly above; a defensive strategy should be strongly considered.
D: Searches must be conducted with consideration that interior operational time will be of limited duration. The only exception is when immediate action must be taken to address a known life hazard; in this situation, risk should be minimized by utilizing only the personnel needed to safely execute the rescue.

Safety is a top priority in Tower Ladder operations. Which choice below contains incorrect information?
A: Tower ladders are not designed to operate with outriggers and jacks down on one side only. If apparatus is not level, lower the jacks and outrigger on the high side first, then the jacks and outrigger on the low side. The preferred placement of manual pins for outriggers shall be at the lowest hole available once extended.
B: When encountering streets that are narrow and lined with parked cars, the apparatus may have to be parked so that the outrigger can be placed between parked cars. A Guide Firefighter, typically the Outside Vent Firefighter, should assist the chauffeur in positioning the apparatus so that the outriggers will clear parked cars and other obstructions such as hoselines, manholes, curbs, etc.
C: When operating with a 75’ Tower Ladder, a 6’ hook may be utilized as a gauge to determine if the outriggers will clear all obstructions. When the apparatus is set on an angle, ensure that the measurement is taken from that part of the outrigger that is nearest to the obstruction. A 95’ Tower Ladder needs 6’8” for the outrigger to clear an obstruction.
D: If a member commences to set up a Tower Ladder apparatus for an operation and then decides to abort the operation, the member must return all outriggers and jacks to the pre-setup position.
A: Tower ladders are not designed to operate with outriggers and jacks down on one side only. If apparatus is not level, lower the jacks and outrigger on the high side first, then the jacks and outrigger on the low side. The preferred placement of manual pins for outriggers shall be at the lowest hole available once extended.
If the apparatus is not level, lower the jacks and outrigger on the low side first, followed by the jacks and outrigger on the high side until the green lights indicate that all stabilizers are properly deployed.
