Which of the following Facts about flow pathsis incorrect?A-The movement of heat and smoke from the higher air pressure within the fire area to all other lower air pressure areas both inside and outside of a fire building.B- when ventilation opening is done the flow path at the bottom of the opening allows air to enter the fire area, and the flow path at the top of the opening allows heat, smoke and fire to ventilate out of the fire area.C-Based on varying building configurations and ventilation profiles, there may be several flow paths during a building fire.D-Every opening in a building made during a fire operation not only creates a new flow path but also has an impact on existing flow paths.
All CorrectGlossary GS
The actions of ventilate, enter, (isolate) and search are the approved tactics whenever a member enters a fire occupancy through a vent opening (window).-Ventilation: Opening or removing the window creating a potential flow path for fire.-ENTER: Via the open window which is now a flow path for smoke, heat and fire; Isolate the room entered by closing the door to eliminate the flow path.SEARCH: Conduct the search of the room after isolating the room from the flow path.T/F?1-Members must realize that any open window is ALWAYS a high air pressure vent point that will become a flow path if not isolated from the fire area.2-Before the door is closed, the searching member should sweep the area outside the door for possible victims.
1- False Low not highMembers must realize that any open window is always a low air pressure vent point that will become a flow path if not isolated from the fire area.2- Truepage 2 GS
True/False? an engine company can become involved in search and rescue without simultaneously stretching and positioning a hoseline.
Truebut Only in extreme cases should an engine company become involved in search and rescue without simultaneously stretching and positioning a hoseline.Note: 4.11 GS
as far as Primary search which following are correct?A- A primary search is the immediate search for life.B- This search is rapid but thorough and systematic.C- The primary search will be influenced by the fire, heat and smoke conditions in a room or area, and always prior to the application of water.D- It should be done quickly, with due regard for your personal safety.
A, B, and D are CORRECTC- Incorrect- Should readThe primary search will be influenced by the fire, heat and smoke conditions in a room or area, and MAY BE PRIOR to the application of water.6.1 GSNOTE: 6.7 The IC shall have a primary search of elevators conducted early in an operation.
as far as Secondary search which following is INCORRECT? only one.A-The secondary search is a thorough and painstakingly complete search for life of all areas that required a primary search.B-In addition, the secondary search must also include the entire outside perimeter of the building and all shafts, basements, cellars, elevators, etc.C-Its purpose is to ensure that no possible victims are overlooked. Time is not as important as accuracy.D-A secondary search shall be completed after any extensive overhauling of the fire area is attempted.E-A secondary search must be performed by a different company than the company which performed the primary search.
D IncorrectA secondary search shall be completed BEFORE any extensive overhauling of the fire area is attempted.7.0 GSNote:If the Primary or Secondary search is delayed or not completed for any reason, the IC must be immediately notified.8.1 Company Officers must notify the IC or Sector Supervisor (if implemented) when searches are completed.
If the engine does not have a charged hoseline at the door to the fire area, the door should be closed after the search team enters.which of the following statemets are incorrect. Only one.A- After entering, the Ladder Company Officer shall communicate the identity of the fire apartment to the IC and Engine Officer.B- A firefighter of the interior team must be positioned at the door inside the fire area to maintain control of the door until a charged hoseline is ready to advance through that door.C- The interior team shall leave the hydraulic forcible entry tool outside the doorway to indicate the apartment they are searching.D- The Ladder Company Officer must notify the Engine Officer and the IC of the decision to close the door.
A- Before entering communicate to eng off and IC.FYI:The Ladder Company Firefighter at the door will:1. Maintain control of the apartment door to control the flow paths of heat and smoke.2. Make sure the door doesn’t lock behind the interior team by setting the lock or using a large sure search door marker.3. Monitor conditions in the immediate entrance area that may affect the safety of the interior search team.4. Monitor handie-talkie transmissions to maintain situational awareness, especially reports of water problems, and wind conditions and its effect on other ventilation points, to ensure the safety of the members searching the fire area.5. Act as a beacon to guide the searching members back to the door, if necessary.6. If members are forced to evacuate, account for the interior team and close the door after all members have exited the apartment.Note: The door should be closed after the search team enters to prevent the creation of a flow path from the fire area towards the door and eventually into the public hallway and stairwell. A wind condition created by a failed or open window may increase the negative effects of flow paths within the fire area.9.10.1 GS
True/False?When assigning an Engine Company to stretch a hoseline to the floor above the fire, the IC shall give that Engine Company’s identity to the officers operating on fire floor.
FalseWhen assigning an Engine Company to stretch a hoseline to the floor above the fire, the IC shall give that Engine Company’s identity to the UNITS OPERATING ON THAT FLOOR.(floor above)note 10.1 GS

Always remove a victim via the safest route availableB- Ambulatory victims should be removed or directed from IDLH areas. The IC should be notified of any ambulatory victims that are evacuated from the IDLH area.C- Whenever any member removes a non-ambulatory victim, the victim must be removed to a non-IDLH area. When required, the rescuer shall provide medical treatment until the arrival of a CFR Engine or EMS.
