1-of the following voids which be simpler locating a victim?2- which be difficult ?A-Lean-to B-V-shaped voidsC-pancake collapsesD-Individual voids
11.4.3 GS1- C- pancake -Locating the victims of pancake collapses is often simpler than in other types of collapses, since the floors usually maintain their physical aspect and the victims aren’t as likely to be thrown as they would if the floor were to incline.2- D-Individual voids-are difficult to locate, for they occur at random depending on the layout of partitions and furniture.
Shoring Guidelines: At times, the FDNY is asked by the Department of Buildings, or Housing Preservation and Development to install shoring in structures that have suffered structural damage. As a guideline, the FDNY will only install shoring in the following instances: more then one correct?A- Whenever human life is in danger, to provide a safe area around victims/rescuers.B- When shoring will permit a building to remain safe to occupy.C- Buildings in which there is no civilian life hazard will only be shored if the shoring can be safely installed at no risk to members, and where there is any amount property risk that can be safeguarded by the shoring.D- A vacant or unoccupied building will not be shored when there is a substantial risk to members installing the shoring, or the use of shoring is unlikely tosubstantially improve the overall outcome.E- If the building is going to be demolished, even after shoring, it will not beshored, except to facilitate rescue operations or the safe evacuation ofoccupants.F- Once installed, shoring will only be removed when the load is otherwisestabilized, or the situation permits the shores to be removed from a safe area.G- All Correct
A,B,D,E,F correct 11.5.3 GSC should be minimal risk to members and substantial property risk.-Buildings in which there is no civilian life hazard will only be shored if the shoring can be safely installed at minimal risk to members, and where there isa substantial property risk that can be safeguarded by the shoring.
The selected debris removal phase begins when all voids have been searched and people are still unaccounted for. Selected debris removal is used to reach specific locations where victims are located or suspected to be. which are correct more then one?A-The Rescue Operations Battalion should be assigned as the Victim Removal Leader to supervise selected debris removal.B-Only collapse trained members of SOC units are to perform tunneling or trenching involving the cutting of potentially load bearing structural members. C-Expose only the absolute minimum number of personnel necessary to perform each task and rotate these members out for a rest at frequent intervals- 60 minutes is the recommended maximum work time.D-If the victim has been pinned for more than one hour or appears to have suffered serious injuries, a Rescue Paramedic must be given access to the patient as soon as there is access, in order to treat for crush syndrome or other life threatening injuries.E-All Correct
C incorrect- 30 mins11.6.1, 11.6.3, 11.6.4, 11.6.8
General Debris RemovalAfter all other methods have been employed and persons are still missing, and their location is unknown, remove all rubble and systematically strip the area, without regard or preference for any particular location. This phase is begun when it is certain there are no other survivors, all voids have been searched and the selected debris removal and tunneling demonstrates there is no chance for survival for missing victims.which is correct more then one?A-This operation should be completed under the direction of the FDNY, even though heavy equipment may be required.B-Maintain at least one SOC Unit on site throughout this operation to provide technical assistance.C-The IC must ensure that a written log of all visitors and investigators entering the collapse site is maintained. When operations are completed this log shall be forwarded to the Chief of Operations.D-The Fire Department will remain at the collapse site until debris removal phase is complete or until the IC is reasonably certain all victims have been removed.E- all correct
All correct12.1 , 12.1.2, 11.12.1, 11.12.2
True/false?Collapse Survivor Interview FormOnly use this form to record responses from persons who were in the structure at the time of the collapse.
False. add 1 GSCollapse Survivor Interview FormUse this form to record responses from persons who were in the structure at the time of or immediately prior to the collapse.
SEARCH ASSESSMENT MARKING SYSTEMConsists of a 2’x2’ marking that when completed, will form the letter “X” with designated markings in each quadrant.which of the following is incorrect?A- A single slash and unit identity are marked upon entry to a structure or area. This indicates search operations are in progress within this area.B-The second, crossing slash shall be drawn when all personnel exit from that structure or area.C-Left Quadrant: FDNY Company or Team designation given at the Command Post.D-Top Quadrant: The time and date that the company/team personnel left the structure/area.E-Right Quadrant: Personal hazards to units/teams. (e.g., utilities, open shafts, dangerous areas, rats)F-Bottom Quadrant: Number of live and/or expired victims removed the structure/area. “0” = No Victims
F incorrect- still inside ADD2 4.0 GSBottom Quadrant: Number of live and/or expired victims still inside the structure/area. “0” = No Victims
True/False?Results of all searches shall be relayed directly to the Command Post.
False Note page 4 ADD 2-Results of all searches shall be relayed to the Command Post or Officer in Charge of that sector/area when the search is completed.
Units conducting searches, upon discovery of a known or potential victim, shall use the victim marking system to denote their location. what does a V with a circle around it with a horizontal and vertical line painted on V.A- when the victim is confirmed deceased.B- when the location of a potential victim has been confirmed, either visually, vocally or by hearing sounds that would indicate a high probability of a victim.C- secondary search is completeD-all victims that have previously been located have been removed
D correct 5.0 GS ADD2- A large “V”, (for Victim) approximately 2’ in height is painted near the location of a known or potential victim. An arrow may need to be added next to the “V” pointing towards the victim’s location if not clearly visible or if not immediately nearby.-A circle is painted around the “V” when the location of a potential victim has been confirmed, either visually, vocally or by hearing sounds that would indicate a high probability of a victim.-Paint a horizontal line through the middle of the “V” when the victim is confirmed deceased.-A vertical line is painted through the confirmed victim mark after the victim/s have been removed from the specific location identified by the marking. This marking should not be taken to mean the secondary search is complete, rather it means that all victims that have previously been located have been removed.
True?false?An unsupported lean void-to is extremely dangerous and must be secured early.
True 11.4.1 ADD3
CON EDISON VACUUM TRUCK RESPONSE-It does have the ability to remove large amounts of material in a short time. The FDNY has found that this vehicle can be a great asset at some emergency operations. This vehicle has been successfully used to remove dirt, sand, grain, store stock, cans, bottles and building debris that may be trapping firefighters or civilians.1-of following which is incorrect?A-Incident Commanders must make early recognition of the need and request response of the vacuum truck via the borough dispatcher on a 10-60, trench recue operations, or as requested by ICB-The SOC Compressor Unit must also respond to any incident where the vacuum truck is requested.C-Con Edison employees shall operate the vacuum truck alone when the work area is safe.D-SOC members have also been trained to operate this equipment if the work area is determined to be hazardous for Con Edison Employees. FDNY members will operate the suction hose at the extrication site.
C- incorrect. add 4 2.0-Con Edison employees shall operate the vacuum truck if the work area is safe. An FDNY HT equipped member shall be positioned with the Con Edison employee at all times. This will facilitate communication between the truck operator and members working at the extrication site.
according dunn, is it necessary to complete one step of rescue plan before starting the next?
no, page 96 several steps may be carried out simultaneously if sufficient resources are avail able
According DUNN during the time out step a conference will be held between IC and who?more one correct?A- Planning ChiefB- Rescue Operations BattalionC- Operations officeD- Victim tracking officeE-All Correct
