  2. Testing
  3. Threatening
  4. Transporting
  5. Transaction
17
Q

How do you make a facility a “Hard Target” for terrorists?

A
  1. Restrict access
  2. Keep vehicles back from the facility
  3. Be vigilant
18
Q

Describe a wet-pipe sprinkler system and location and problems

A
  1. What: Water is in the pipes at all times and sprinkler heads are closed until a fire is detected by that sprinkler
  2. Location: Places that don’t freeze
  3. Problem: pipes can freeze in cold weather
19
Q

Describe a dry-pipe sprinkler system and location and problems

A
  1. What: water enters the pipe when a fire is detected and sprinkler heads are closed until a fire is detected by that sprinkler
  2. Location: Used in places that get very cold since the pipes won’t freeze
  3. Problem: Slower response than wet-pipe system
20
Q

Describe a deluge system and location and problems

A
  1. What: Sprinkler heads are always open so when a fire is detected, all sprinklers go off at the same time
  2. Location: Anywhere that fire is likely to spread rapidly such as a warehouse
  3. Problems: Can create a lot of water damage. Slower response than wet pipe system
21
Q

Describe a preactive sprinkler system and location and problems

A
  1. What: Water enters when fire is detected, an alarm goes off giving a person time to put out the fire and shut off the system
  2. Location: anywhere that water damage is a major concern
  3. Problems: Slowest response rate
22
Q

Describe a misting sprinkler system and location and problems

A
  1. What: Water enters the pipe when a fire is detected. Sprinkler heads are all opened on a particular line which contain chemicals that bind to the fuel initially and keeps misting to prevent fire from reigniting
  2. Location: Commercial kitchens on exhaust hoods
  3. Problems: Slower response than wet pipe system
23
Q

What are the four fire detection systems?

A
  1. Heat
  2. Smoke
    a. Photoelectric
    b. Ionizing
  3. Flame
  4. Manual
24
Q

Describe the heat fire detection system

A

Detects heat of the fire; Good for areas where there is a lot of dust or steam; Select based on detection temperature

25
Q

Describe the two smoke detection systems

A
  1. Photoelectric: Detects fires that produce lots of dark smoke; Light is shined across a chamber in the detector; If smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the beam of light and triggers the alarm
  2. Ionizing: Detects fires that produce little to no smoke; A small amount of radioactive material ionizes the air in the detection chamber. The charged air conducts a small electrical current. When combustion gases enter the chamber, they disrupt the flow of electricity, triggering the alarm
26
Q

Describe the flame detection system

A

Detects fire that produces bright light.
A photoelectric cell detects the light from the fire and triggers the alarm.
Not useful if items in the room block the light from reaching the detector

27
Q

Describe the manual fire detection system

A

Considered by many to be the most reliable, however someone must be present and see the fire

28
Q

Where should lights be located for directing people to the exit to be effective during a fire and why?

A

On the floor, because the rising smoke will obscure any signs above doors

29
Q

What is responsible for the majority of deaths in a fire?

A

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

30
Q

What are the three reasons you should not stand up in a fire?

A
  1. Smoke will make it impossible to see
  2. The carbon monoxide in the smoke will asphyxiate you
  3. The heat of the fire will sear your lungs
