EFIS consist of three layers: the innermost insulation layer composed a foam plastic insulation the middle, reinforcing fiberglass mesh. And the outermost finish coat layer will be a cement based polymer.1.2
False
USUALLY a cement based polymer.
1- foam plastic insulation
2- reinforcing fiberglass mesh
3-usually cement- based Polymer
EIFS
The component of primary concern during firefighting operations is the innermost sheathing layer of ? 1.3.
Foam plastic insulation.(FPI)
EFIS
The innermost layer of foam plastic insulation is typically how thick? 1.3.
Typically 1/4 to 8 inches thick.
EFIS
The rate of heat release for thermoplastics can be —— to ——higher than the ordinary combustibles such as wood or paper 1.3
3 to 5 times higher

Adjacent outside fires (car, rubbish, etc.)
EFIS fires often extend via a ——- or —— layer. 1.5.
Poorly maintained or damaged finish coat layer.
EFIS
At structural fires, the same properties can adversely affect firefighting operations by? 1.7.
Increasing the potential for flashover.
EFIS
The ——-arriving engine should consider using ——— for a rapid attack and knockdown 2.1
1st arriving
Deck gun
T/F EFIS
Initial handlines should be positioned for BOTH an interior and exterior attack on the fire. 2.2.
True
EFIS
T/F A handline should be stretched to cover ALL sides of the building. 2.3
True
EFIS
T/F A building 3 stories or higher, or a large area building may require the use of 2 1/2 inch handline.
An 1 3/4 handline may be sufficient for a smaller PD. 2.3.
True
EFIS
Where should the TIC be used at these fires? 2.4
Interior and exterior to determine the extent of the fire.
EFIS
At what phase of the fire, with a TIC , have a more thorough examination? 2.4.
Overhaul phase to ensure that Fire did not continue to smolder undetected. A watch line SHOULD be kept in place as necessary.

Tower 135
Satellite 130
EFIS
Tower Ladder stream can not reach the fire. What is the next plan of action? 3.2
2 1/2 line cockloft nozzle
EFIS
At a EFIS fire, one tip of the cockloft nozzle should be capped with a —- shut off. The cockloft nozzle operated upward on exterior of the building can provide a vertical reach of up to —— floors. The nozzle should be extended approximately
— feet from the window sill and then operated a slight angle toward the building. 3.2

2 floors
3 ft from the window sill slight angle TOWARDS the building
