Q

Residential Structure Fire

  1. With Fire Control declared as the IAP, what should be done with the IAP by the IC if evidence is discovered of an entrapped victim (e.g., a credible report of a person inside the structure, a person seen in a window or on an upper deck or balcony, or calls for help are heard from inside)?
A
  1. Declare a “change to the IAP” and identify the new IAP as “Rescue”

CPFR does not use the term “mode” when referring to Rescue (i.e., we do not declare Rescue Mode).

ChatGPT

23
Q

Building Construction

(1.) — is an outdated practice which involved constructing the structural framework of a building with long, continuous studs that ran from the foundation to the roof, creating vertical channels through which fire and smoke could rapidly spread in the event of a fire.

A
  1. Balloon framing

ChatGPT

24
Q

Building Construction

(1.) — involves constructing a building one floor at a time, with each floor serving as a platform for building the next. This method reduces the vertical channels present in the walls, making it less conducive to rapid fire spread and providing better fire containment.

A
  1. Platform framing

ChatGPT

25
Q

Building Construction

The practice of balloon framing largely died out in the (1.) -(decade)-, having been replaced by (2.) — framing.
