Two members of a busy Brooklyn Engine made a number of comments regarding the Digital In-line Gauge during drill. Which comment made was incorrect?
A: The gauge is not to be pre-connected to a folded length of hose.
B: The goal is to obtain a residual pressure (nozzle open, water flowing) of approximately 70 PSI for a 3 length stretch or 80 PSI for a 4 length stretch with a flow of 225-250 GPM.
C: Suspect kinks if the pressure reading on the gauge is normal or higher and the flow is reduced below normal. Suspect a burst length if the pressure reading is normal or lower and the flow is increased above normal.
D: If the Digital In-Line Gauge fails to display upon initial start-up, make another attempt to turn the gauge on. If this attempt fails, the Control Firefighter shall notify the officer. The officer must immediately transmit an “Urgent” and back the nozzle team out to a safe area.
D: If the Digital In-Line Gauge fails to display upon initial start-up, make another attempt to turn the gauge on. If this attempt fails, the Control Firefighter shall notify the officer. The officer must immediately transmit an “Urgent” and back the nozzle team out to a safe area.
If the Digital In-Line Gauge fails to display upon initial start-up, make another attempt to turn the gauge on. If this attempt fails, the Control Firefighter shall verify with their officer that the nozzle team is receiving proper pressure and flow. Since the Digital In-Line Gauge does not regulate water flow, hoseline operations can continue without the display functioning properly. The officer must monitor water pressure and flow and communicate the need for any adjustments to the Control Firefighter.

Today is January 31, 2019 and you are working the 6x9 tour in E-100 when you receive a ticket at 2100 hrs for a person in water. En-route to the scene, you are trying to remember the procedures for Water Rescue Operations. Choose the incorrect procedure.

As the first arriving aerial ladder at a fire on the 3rd floor of a 4-story Brownstone, the LCC would be correct to follow all of the actions below except?
A: Position and prepare the apparatus for complete coverage. When unable to complete this assignment, notify the IC.
B: If the Roof Firefighter indicates no need for rescue, place the aerial ladder to the top floor for VEIS.
C: Generally, the window over the main entrance opens into one small room (on all upper floors). The other two windows open into a large room which originally, and in many cases still is, connected railroad fashion to other rooms deeper in the building. It is best to select the window over the main entrance for VEIS, due to the limited means of escape for occupants.
D: LCC entry into the top floor via aerial may be negated until the fire has been darkened down. The LCC should wait until the possibility of lapping fire has been eliminated, then vent all windows on the top floor in accordance with established ventilation procedures. Entry into the top floor via aerial may then be attempted, when teamed up with another available member, if the second arriving ladder company has not already “made” the top floor via the interior.

Upon arrival, E-400 transmits the 10-75 for a fire on the 5th floor of a 6 story multiple dwelling. As E-400 is beginning their stretch , you head to the fire floor while trying to remember the new ventilation procedures. Choose the most correct ventilation procedure from the list below.

The stairway configuration of a building can greatly assist operations in some cases. There are usually two to four independent stairs in “H” type buildings. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?
A: Transverse stairs are usually located at points remote from each other, but a person can go (transverse) from one stairway to another via the public hall on all floors of the building. They are a tremendous asset in heavy fire operations on the top floor.
B: Isolated stairs are usually identified by their individual entrances. Floor landings are recognized by their limited space and absence of a public hall. Access is limited to the apartments served by the stairs, and there is no access to other wings.
C: Generally, on the first floor of H-type buildings, there is no access between wings.
D: Wing stairs are located at the front and rear of each wing. The floor landing leads to the public hall that will join the other stairs in that wing only (if two stairs). The public hall does not transverse to the other wing of the “H”.
C: Generally, on the first floor of H-type buildings, there is no access between wings.
Generally, on the first floor of H-type buildings, there IS access between wings.

Which choice below contains incorrect information regarding the “search rope?”
A: The Search Rope is made of either 5/16th inch diameter white nylon or a 7.5 mm diameter Kernmantle design. The rope is 200 feet long with a snap hook at each end.
B: Nylon search ropes shrink over time due to many reasons, with moisture and temperature being the most common. Due to this shrinkage and the installation of distance and directional knots, nylon search ropes may be short by 25 feet or more.
C: The intervals of the distance knots are 25 feet apart.
D: The rope should be tied off at intervals to help keep it taut and off the floor. The rope shall be maintained approximately two to three feet above ground. This will keep it out of water and make the rope easier to find. When changing direction or grade, the rope shall be tied off.
D: The rope should be tied off at intervals to help keep it taut and off the floor. The rope shall be maintained approximately two to three feet above ground. This will keep it out of water and make the rope easier to find. When changing direction or grade, the rope shall be tied off.
D) The rope should be tied off at intervals to help keep it taut and off the floor. The rope shall be maintained approximately ONE to TWO FEET above ground. This will keep it out of water and make the rope easier to find. When changing direction or grade, the rope shall be tied off.
A) Note: Newly issued search ropes will be of the Kernmantle type design and have a double-action snap hook at the working end and a snap hook that secures the rope to the bag. This will avoid the rope being repacked from the wrong end.
