Q

Flank attack

A

Used for moderateY intense fires
Starting at an anchor point, on one or both sides of the plank of the fire and work towards the head can be worked from both sides

Q

Pincer attack

A

Similar to a flank attack, it’s a tack from from two sides of the fire, with a secure anchor point, working towards the perimeter, requires two or more crews can we start at the heel

Q

Tandem attack

A

2 crews working together can be any
The first units do a quick knocked down of the fire and the other units for closely to do a more thorough job of extinguisher and mop up

Q

Booster lines

A

Or hardline may be used for attack and small, very low intensity, fire, or mop up
A limited volume of water

Q

Progressive hose lay (extended)

A

Used for a quick attack on fire from a secure anchor, point usually a road

Consists of a hose lay with a double shut off Weibo that are inserted in the main line of intervals and lateral lines, and a run from wise to the fire edge

24
Q

Task force

A

Made up of five different resources

25
Q

The home ignition zone extends 30-60 m around the home

A
26
Q

Structural triage. Categories.

A

It’s a little or no attention for now
Needs protection but savable
Cannot be saved

27
Q

Factors affecting triage

A

Structure
Fuel
Fire behaviour
Resources
Fire, fighter, safety

28
Q

Weather influences

A

Relative humidity below 25%
Temperatures above 85° or 49 Celsius

29
Q

Structural situations that shout watch out

A

Wood construction
Flammable vegetation mission, 30 feet or 9 m of the structures
Strong winds exceeding 25 km an hour
Emotional residence

30
Q

How much water do you reserve for cruise protection?

A

100 gallons or 400 L of water

31
Q

When construction not be saved

A

Spot fires are igniting all around
Water supply in streamflow will not continue
Safety
Interior rooms are involved
The roof is more than 1/4 6mm or the following structures are starting on Potter

32
Q

Instrument fuels

A

Impossible is located near the structure that sometimes compare the fire directly to the structure
Piles of wood
Decks
Fences

33
Q

Pets and live stock

A

Animals will generally move away from the fire may need to cut the fence or get assistance from local animal control

34
Q

Class a foam

A

Does not evaporate as quickly
Reduces the surface tension of water
More visible from the air in the ground

35
Q

Wet foam A

A

Let’s foam concentrate
Drains quickly and runs off surfaces

36
Q

Foam A dripping

A

More from concentrate and drips off services when applied

37
Q

Dry foam A

A

Hi amount of foam concentrate stick to surfaces like shaving cream

38
Q

Fire gel

A

Is added to water and transfers water into a fire, preventing and heat absorbing gel

39
Q

Structure wrap

A

Made out of material similar to fire shelter can be reused

40
Q

Forward pass

A

Apply just enough water to stop the fires rate of spread quickly as possible

41
Q

Second pass

A

Is performed immediately upon completion of the first forward pass, and begins to exchange the controlling by actually putting the edge out

42
Q

Cycle of water effectiveness

A

 The period of time between the application, and the complete evaporation of water

43
Q

When should foam not be used?

A

Possibility of an exit
Critical or sense of water source

44
Q

proper Nozzling. Technique

A

Aiming the nozzle with one hand, and placing the other hand on the hose, a short distance behind the nozzle, then making a slight back-and-forth motion with the hand that is on the hose

45
Q

Blown coupling

A

Stop the end of the hose of the next coupling proximately 2 to 2.5 m or 6 1/2 feet to 8 feet and then used to metal post patches to secure the hose.

46
Q

The person packing the hose must

A

Indicate the type of Jose contains
How it was packed
Who packed it

47
Q

Sprinklers

A

Valuable tools and wildfires can leave unattended for over a period of
Sprinklers are primarily used to protect structure, sis, value certain by wildfire

48
Q

Closed the loop

A

Sprinklers should be set up in a close loop configuration sure water pressure is machine to each one the main loop is 1 1/2 inch hose with five eights post supplying the sprinklers that run at a shape loop in the hoses

49
Q

How many sprinklers should be rubbed off each thief

A

No more than two

50
Q

two factors that contribute to pressure loss in a hose lay

A

Friction loss
Head or back pressure

51
Q

How much psi a back pressure per foot of elevation, Rise in elevation

A

1/2psi

52
Q

The most trouble free yet most frequently overlooked water delivery system

A

Gravity

53
Q

Tandem pump set up

A

To increase pressure over a long hose lay , or steep set of slopes

54
Q

Parallel pump set up

A

two pumps are set up at a water source and discharge hoses are connected to a single hose line using a Y this set up increases volume, medium and insures water delivery if one of the pumps fails

55
Q

Relay pump system

A

One pump is set up from a source to a portable tank and the other pump and set up from the portable tank to the hose line

56
Q

Spotting zone

A

Most interface buyers will put you in a spot in zone
Sparks in numbers that are carried by the wind which start new fires be on the sound of direct of the main fire

57
Q

Does type one or type two of natural resource typing have a greater capability

A

Type 1

58
Q

Tandem attack

A

Two or more crews doing something together, including first attack yeah, an attack
