Chapter 7- Appuratus Flashcards
What determines the minimum number and types of ARFF apparatus that are required at an airport
The index or category of an airport
The following organization has a rating category for airports in the United States
International civilian aviation organization (ICAO)
What factor is used in determining an airports index or category
Length of the aircraft landing
What NFPA standards are related to ARFF requirements
NFPA 403
NFPA 412
NFPA 414
The following are smaller than typical ARFF vehicles and are generally outfitted with combined agent systems
Rapid Intervention Vehicles (RIV)
Producing foam by pouring foam concentrate directly into the apparatus water tank is referred to as
Batch Mixing
Fixed foam proportioning systems installed in structural firefighting apparatus typically have foam concentrate starve tanks that are
Smaller than those on ARFF apparatus
Fire apparatus that are designed to provide a raised platform for ARFF operations that will elevate fire fighters to an even level with aircraft compartment are known as
Interior access vehicles
The following apparatus system improve vehicle stability an control by reducing wheel lock during braking
Antilock braking systems
The following apparatus system allows the driver to deflate the vehicle tires while the vehicle is moving or stationary in order to improve vehicle traction
Central inflation/deflation systems
The following apparatus systems is intended as an early alert system to assist drivers in recognizing when they are exceeding the safe operating limits of the vehicles
Lateral acceleration indicator
This apparatus system collects minimum vehicle performance measurements such as vehicle speed an engine RPM
Monitoring and data acquisition system
This vehicle apparatus system keeps a vehicles wheels in as much contact with the surface as possible
High mobility suspension system
This apparatus system incorporates an infrared camera and monitor that enhances vision in smoke, fog, adverse weather, and darkness
Drivers enhanced vision system
The following apparatus system incorporates a differential Global Positioning System receiver and moving map display in side the cab
Drivers enhanced vision system
The apparatus system that can provide excellent documentation of scene conditions for both training an accident investigations
Apparatus mounted video cameras
ARFF vehicles can operate
While in motion
The major benefit of a high flow number turret is to provide
The driver with improved visibility
The following is required when a ARFF vehicle only had one turret
Dual flow
The following nozzle can usually perform all the tasks of under truck an ground sweeping nozzles
Bumper turrets
The amount of force necessary to operate primary turrets must be less than
30 pounds (lbs)
Turrets must be depressed to discharge agent within
30 feet of in front of the vehicle using a dispersed stream
The following equipment is used to lay a blanket or path of foam I front of a vehicle so that it can move in to extinguishment and/or rescue positions
Ground sweep nozzles
The equipment may be equipped with a piercing nozzle that is designed to penetrate aircraft skin an apply agent to the interior without placing firefighters in danger
Extendable turrets
The following equipment discharges extinguishing agents directly beneath the vehicle chassis
Under truck nozzle
The following equipment allows much greater visibility,control, and more efficient application of agent on fire
Boom on an elevated waterway
The best location to penetrate a passenger aircraft with an aircraft skin penetrating nozzle
12 inches above the cabin windows
The best location to penetrate a cargo aircraft with an aircraft penetrating nozzle
24 inches above the cabin Windows
The following resupply method has a tanker establishing a quick water supply to an ARFF vehicle directly involved with the fire fighting effort
Rapid supply
The following resupply method has the water supply established from a fixed water source such as a fire hydrant or pumper fire apparatus to the ARFF vehicle
Sustained water supply
The following resupply method has ARFF vehicles rotating to a location where firefighting agent, fuel, or other equipment is provided
Resupply
ARFF apparatus that have an automatic shut off system for the water tank will automatically close when the tank is
95% full
The method of foam resupply is the least desired method
Direct filling from 5-gallon containers
When should agent systems be thoroughly Flushed
After each use
When should ARFF equipment an apparatus be inspected
Immediately after shift change an after each use
ARFF apparatus must reach the scene of an aircraft emergency
In far shorter time periods than those normally associated with structural fire response.
