Brooklyn 4 Flashcards by William Moran

An Engine Officer conducting a drill on Buckeye Pipeline operations was incorrect in which statement?
A: Engine companies responding from quarters on the second alarm for a street box associated with a leak should place additional cans of foam on the apparatus.

B: Engine companies out of quarters, receiving a notification to respond to a second alarm for a pipeline leak must not return to quarters for the additional cans of foam.

C: Units performing isolation duties will announce 10-84 at valve locations, and inform the dispatcher of valve closures as well as completion of patrol duties. Upon completion of these assigned duties, the unit shall report to the Command Post, or other assignment as directed by the Incident Commander.

D: If ignition occurs before arrival of the first Fire Department unit, the duties required by the UAAC and Instruction Card are no longer necessary. Control of the fire is now the primary consideration.

If ignition occurs before arrival of the first Fire Department unit, the duties required by the UAAC and Instruction Card must still be performed, and additional alarms transmitted immediately. Isolation of the pipeline by closing manually operated valves is still of primary importance to reduce the amount of fuel released.

Which operational consideration below is not in accordance with Department procedures for brush fire operations?
A: Initial attack operations should concentrate on mobility. Avoid hooking up to hydrants, except to protect exposures.

The gaseous mixture may be ignited by a spark inside the control box.

C: When a manhole cover blows, do not run. Keep your eyes on the cover so you can approximate where it will land.

In HRFPMDs, cellars may contain compactor rooms, storage areas, meeting rooms, sprinkler protected motor vehicle garages, laundry rooms and utility meter rooms. Each of the following choices contains correct information regarding cellars of these buildings except?
A: These areas may also contain HVAC equipment with its associated duct work. The entire run of ducts should be checked to their termination points. The duct work venting dryers from laundry rooms should be checked to their termination point as well.

B: All cellar fires in HRFPMDs shall be controlled using a hand stretch into below grade areas. In no case shall members connect to a standpipe to stretch into below grade areas.

C: Motor vehicle fires in these cellars can create an extremely heavy smoke condition, which can delay locating the vehicle, even though the sprinkler system may be discharging water. A search line should be used in these situations and a limited number of personnel should be used.

D: Access to below grade areas may be via the interior, enclosed, fireproof stairways or outside ramps and driveways.

B: All cellar fires in HRFPMDs shall be controlled using a hand stretch into below grade areas. In no case shall members connect to a standpipe to stretch into below grade areas.

Consider a hand stretch into below grade areas. When the fire is controlled by the sprinkler system and connecting to a standpipe outlet would not expose our members to an IDLH, an Engine officer can, with sound judgment, use the standpipe and notify the IC.

In nonfireproof multiple dwellings, gas meters may cause the Department many problems. Which choice is incorrect?
A: Gas meters are usually in the cellar but they may also be found in apartments and in public hallways. Piping containing flammable gas shall not be permitted to pierce or be run in stair enclosures, in a shaft containing a standpipe riser, or in public hallways leading to exits.

C: Combustible material near the burning meter should be wet down while waiting for the gas supply to be shut off. Under no circumstances should members stuff rags, paper, etc., into the break.

D: If gas is leaking without being ignited, the gas supply should be shut off and the area ventilated as much as possible. Members should be moved away from the area
