A: You concentrated on mobility, and avoided hooking up to a hydrant

B:Did not concentrate on mobility. Instead, you hooked up to a hydrant and protected exposures

C: In an attempt to protect exposures, you set up a water curtain using fog lines to break-up the heat waves generated by the fire

D: After protecting exposures (life not in danger), you attacked the fire from the head (front)

Answer 4

Explanation:
AUC 151 Brush Fire Operations
A- First protect exposures…5.4.1
B-5.4.2
C- Attempting to break-up heat waves by using a water curtain is generally ineffective. Instead, utilize streams to apply water directly onto exposures….5.4.17
D- Attack the fire from the flanks and attempt to narrow its spread, eventually heading it off…5.4.9
****If necessary to operate in front of the fire (only to protect life) sufficient charged lines must be in place and capable of protecting operating forces

Question 5

Question 5:
EMS borough frequencies are available on Engine and Ladder Fire apparatus in their Borough Dispatch radio, allowing Fire units to communicate directly with EMS dispatchers. Of the following choices, which is not in accordance with Department policy?

A: When deemed necessary by the IC, these frequencies may be used to communicate critical information; they are not to be used for routine requests. Transmissions on these frequencies should be in plain speak language (do not use “10” codes, fire jargon, etc).

B: Typically, EMS units operate on one of the EMS borough frequencies. When assigned to a 10-75, EMS units will switch to and monitor EMS-CW1.

C: When transmitting on the EMS citywide frequency, include the unit calling, address of the incident including cross streets (do not use Box Number) and relevant critical information.

D:Direct communication with the EMS citywide dispatcher does not need to be repeated to the FD borough dispatcher; a single transmission on either frequency is appropriate.

Answer 5

Explanation:
Direct communication with the EMS citywide dispatcher DOES NOT relieve units of their responsibility to maintain communications with the FD borough dispatcher as per existing Fire Department procedures. This includes transmitting all appropriate signals, progress reports and unit status as necessary.

Question 71:
Of the following choices, which contains incorrect information regarding the construction characteristics of private dwellings?

A: For fires in “traditional” private dwellings built of ordinary/wood frame construction, early collapse is not a primary consideration.

B:Collapse is always the primary consideration in buildings constructed with lightweight materials.

C:Lightweight construction often provides for the creation of large rooms. Areas unsupported by columns with spans greater than 25’ are generally an indication that lightweight construction is present. The collapse potential in a “wide-open” room of this type is not as great as in a compartmented area that has interior walls.

D: The most important factor to a safe and successful operation at lightweight buildings is the identification of the presence of lightweight construction. It is critical that any member becoming aware of lightweight construction notify the Incident Commander.

Answer 70
