Question 9:
During taxpayer fires, a Roof Sector Supervisor should be assigned as early as possible to supervise roof operations. This could a chief or company officer as designated by the IC. As a Roof Sector Supervisor, choose the most correct tactic used during a Taxpayer fire.
A: Generally, vertical openings are made at the roof level. Scuttles, skylights or covers of former skylights that are located away from the main body of fire should be opened first
B: The roof cut for vertical ventilation must be large enough to cause the bulk of the heat, smoke and gases being produced by the fire to vent in that direction and away from the advancing hose line. A hole 3x6 is recommended
C: If trenching is to be implemented, take skylight returns close to the trench, as soon as possible, to assist in venting
D: The immediate ventilation and cutting of an effective size hole on the roof calls for two saws and four members on the roof
D: The immediate ventilation and cutting of an effective size hole on the roof calls for two saws and four members on the roof
Explanation:
A- Scuttles, skylights or covers of former skylights that are located over or NEAR the main body of fire should be opened first
B- 8x8 is recommended
C- Leave skylights returns in place where the skylights are to be used as an effective trenching boundary
Taxpayers pages 28-29
Question 10:
Knowledge of the SCBA is crucial to all Fire Department Officers. Of the following choices, which is described incorrectly?
A: The Pressure Reducer Assembly (PRA), mounted on the left side of the backframe, reduces the high pressure breathing air received from the cylinder. The PRA normally reduces the operating pressure to 100 psi before entering the regulator’s low pressure hose.
B: A malfunction of the PRA’s primary system will automatically direct breathing air into a secondary system. When this occurs, the operating pressure will only be reduced to 150 psi and will cause the vibralert alarm to activate.
C: Failure of both the primary and secondary systems in the open position will activate a Relief Valve in the PRA, which will rapidly discharge all pressure in excess of 185 psi into the atmosphere. When this occurs, the cylinder valve should be remain fully open, permitting the member to maximize use of the limited air remaining.
D: When the primary and/or secondary system malfunctions, the member must notify their officer and immediately leave the contaminated area. This member must be accompanied to a safe area by another member using a SCBA.
C: Failure of both the primary and secondary systems in the open position will activate a Relief Valve in the PRA, which will rapidly discharge all pressure in excess of 185 psi into the atmosphere. When this occurs, the cylinder valve should be remain fully open, permitting the member to maximize use of the limited air remaining.
Explanation:
Failure of both the primary and secondary systems in the open position will activate a Relief Valve in the PRA, which will rapidly discharge all pressure in excess of 185 psi into the atmosphere. When this occurs, the cylinder valve should be PARTIALLY CLOSED, allowing only a minimal amount of air to release, permitting the member to both breathe and conserve air.

Question 18:
Which consideration below would be correct when operating at a Row Frame fire of multiple alarm proportions?
A: To cut off fire that is traveling in the cockloft toward the exposures, it may be necessary to skip a building in order to get ahead of the fire. The time required to get a line into position must be considered. This line may be driven off the top floor when the fire is already past that point.
B: Once charged handlines are in position, ceilings must be pulled to expose and extinguish the fire in the common cockloft. When possible, this should take place before the cockloft is vented from above to avoid feeding oxygen to the hot gases that will be present.
C: When the fire is of a multiple alarm proportion, the strategy is to set up a perimeter of lines consisting usually of heavy caliber streams in the front and the rear, with 2 1/2” lines flanking the sides of the fire and moving toward the center of the fire. As hand lines reach the center of the fire, the outside lines must not be directed into the buildings in which the companies are operating.
D: When addresses are prominent and/or buildings can readily be distinguished from each other by features the I.C. should not use plain English to assign units to exposure sectors, but rather use designated exposure specifications (I.e. exposure 4A, 2B, etc).
A: To cut off fire that is traveling in the cockloft toward the exposures, it may be necessary to skip a building in order to get ahead of the fire. The time required to get a line into position must be considered. This line may be driven off the top floor when the fire is already past that point.
Explanation:
B) Once charged handlines are in position, ceilings must be pulled to expose and extinguish the fire in the common cockloft. When possible, this should take place AFTER the cockloft is vented from above to avoid feeding oxygen to the hot gases that will be present.
C) When the fire is of a multiple alarm proportion, the strategy is to set up a perimeter of lines consisting usually of heavy caliber streams in the front and the rear, with 1 ¾” lines flanking the sides of the fire and moving toward the center of the fire. As hand lines reach the center of the fire, the outside lines must not be directed into the buildings in which the companies are operating.
D) When addresses are prominent and/or buildings can readily be distinguished from each other by features the I.C. MAY use plain English to assign units to exposure sectors.

Question 26:
Two Officers were discussing portable ladder use at fires and emergencies. Which comment made was incorrect?
A: To perform an emergency search, portable ladders may be used as a brace where there is partial collapse of a floor area. The ladders may be used singly or in groups depending upon the amount of stress to which the ladders will be subject.
B: When a ladder has been positioned and used by a member to gain entry to a fire building, once inside, the ladder may be immediately repositioned by any member for another use.
C: Portable ladders may be used in an emergency to shore excavations, or reinforce weakened walls. The proper placement of ladders and planks can prevent refilling of areas that are being dug out.
D: During winter months, portable ladders may be used for the rescue of victims that have fallen through ice that has formed on bodies of water. Laid flat on the ice, the ladder distributes the weight of the rescuer and/or the victims over a larger area of ice, reducing the total weight concentrated at any one point.
B: When a ladder has been positioned and used by a member to gain entry to a fire building, once inside, the ladder may be immediately repositioned by any member for another use.
Explanation:
When a ladder has been positioned and used by a member to gain entry to a fire building, there is the possibility that he/she will also need it as a means of retreat. The ladder is expected to be there. Therefore, do not move or reposition a ladder used in this manner except if it is necessary to use the ladder for rescue. Members operating in the area the ladder was used to access should be notified regarding its repositioning. The ladder should be returned to its original location or replaced with another ladder as soon as possible.
