B: She understood that the immediate adjoining building must not be used for roof access despite offering the easiest access to the interior.

C:✔She took a scissor ladder to a similar uninvolved attached exposure top floor to gain access to the roof via the scuttle.

D: Once she realized that a LSR rescue was required, she contacted the first OV via HT for assistance on the roof.

Explanation:
A. Life saving rope should be taken to the roof WHEN THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN LADDERING THE REAR OF THE BUILDING DUE TO ATTACHED EXPOSURES AND/OR THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING REQUIRES THE LSR.

B. Use of an attached exposure for interior access to the roof depends on the type of building construction. In ATTACHED WOOD FRAME type P.D.’s the immediate adjoining building should not be used due to the possibility of cockloft involvement. For attached P.D.’s of ORDINARY BRICK CONSTRUCTION WHERE FIREWALLS EXIST BETWEEN BUILDINGS, choose the building offering the easiest access to its interior.

Q

Truss construction has been used in taxpayers where large areas, free of roof support columns, were desired. Which of the following choices contains incorrect information regarding truss roofs found in taxpayers?
A: The truss is composed of two major members; the top chord and the bottom chord. Shorter members, called webs, connect the top and bottom chords.

B: Webs are placed vertically and diagonally, forming triangular configurations with the chord members. There are many variations but all are essentially the same; a combination of interdependent components used to span large distances through the use of smaller pieces fastened together.

C: Trusses can be either wood or steel. The open web joist or steel bar joist prevalent in modern taxpayer construction is a light weight parallel chord truss.

D: Steel truss roofs appear to fail without warning. The roof does not sag or get “spongy.” Wood trusses tend to “stretch” when losing their strength because of elevated temperatures, but steel tends to “snap.”

Q

Two members of a Manhattan Truck Company were participating in a conversation about canopies and marquees found on commercial buildings. Which comment made was incorrect?
A: A canopy or marquee which is cantilevered over the sidewalk can act as a lever on the parapet wall pulling down a long section of it.

B: Canopies and marquees are generally supported by cables, steel tie rods or steel beams, which go through the wall and are attached inside the building, probably to combustible members in the cockloft. A fire in the cockloft can weaken these attachments or supports, causing sudden collapse of the canopy or marquee and a long section of the parapet wall, without any warning.

C: Marquees are hollow boxes which can fill up with run-off water at a fire operation due to use of heavy streams. A 12’ x 24’ marquee, 4’ deep, when filled would contain approximately 35 tons of water.

D: Canopies are required by the building code to have drainage facilities. Many have been found to have roof type gutters and down spouts blocked with debris, rubbish and rubber balls. Marquees are not required to have drainage facilities.

It has been determined that Fire Retardant Treated Plywood (FRTP) has been in use as roof sheathing in townhouses and multifamily apartment houses since 1979. Some FRTP has been reported to be deteriorating to a point where the roof is unsafe to walk on. Which description below is inaccurate regarding FRTP?
A: FRTP is generally used above party wall separations.

B: FRTP can be detected by noting excessive waviness in roofs near party walls.
