Question 3

Question 3:
Units are operating at the scene of a 2nd alarm cellar fire in a cast-iron loft building. First alarm ladder companies are performing primary searches in the fire building. There are four hoselines stretched at this fire. Which hoseline was deployed incorrectly?

A:The first line was stretched to the interior of the first floor to the top of the interior cellar stairs. This line must remain on the first floor to prevent upward extension of fire.

B: Depending on conditions, the second hoseline may need to gain an alternate access point to the fire in the cellar.

C: The IC ordered the third hoseline into exposure 2 which was interconnected to the fire building below grade.

D: The IC ordered the fourth hoseline to supply a cellar pipe.

The first engine company should stretch the initial hoseline via the interior to the fire area. If conditions prevent initial hoseline from advancing down the interior stairs, notify the IC and remain at this position to prevent upward extension.

If the first hoseline is unable to advance into the fire area, the second hoseline may need to gain an alternate access point into the fire area.

B: A fully equipped back-up rescuer shall remain on stand-by in the event the primary (entry) rescuer is injured, overcome, or needs assistance in escaping the space.

C: SOC Support Ladders shall only attempt an entry when all necessary precautions to safeguard the rescuer are taken, specifically, a suitable high point anchor shall be positioned to allow a retrieval system to be placed, air monitoring has taken place, and suitable steps are taken to remove hazards or otherwise protect rescuers (e.g., use of the SCBA for asphyxiation hazard).

D:SOC Support Ladders shall not attempt any entry where the hazards are atmospheric or controllable, or are not readily identifiable and controllable.

Answer 21

d Explanation:
SOC Support Ladders shall NOT attempt any entry where the hazards are OTHER THAN atmospheric and controllable, or are not readily identifiable and controllable.
For example, a rescue of a person trapped in a cesspool is a permissible entry, since the hazards are oxygen depletion and immersion. These hazards will be controlled by the rescuer wearing an SCBA at all times during entry, by remaining attached to their retrieval line at all times, and by having a suitable hauling system in place to effect their removal in case of an emergency. Entry into a chemical tank at a tank farm, where the product and hazards are not readily known, is not a permissible entry.

Question 38:
The ticket reads as follows: E100, E200, E300, E400, L99, TL500, L600F, B150, B200, D2…..All units are 10-84 and in position for a fire on the top floor of a 4 story OLT type rowframe. From the following choices, which unit/position carried out their duties correctly?

A: E300, who was ordered to take a line to the top floor of an exposure to extinguish fire in the cockloft, decided to take a 1/2” OST with them to use as an overhaul tip

B:Since the building is now considered a fully involved occupied rowframe in the middle of the block of other occupied frames, E100 stretched the first line into the fire building through the front door

C: Since the building is now considered a fully involved vacant rowframe in a row of occupied rowframes, E300 stretched the 2nd line into the most severe exposure because it wasn’t needed to back up the 1st line

D: Since the building is now considered a fully involved occupied rowframe in the middle of the block of other occupied frames with fire in exposures, E100 dropped two 1 3/4” handlines in front of building for rapid deployment

Question 39

Question 39:

B:The roof sheathing is placed at right angles to the roof beams and generally run from side to side.

C: Cut through the roof sheathing at opposite sides of the proposed opening close to the beam to lessen the bounce of the axe and the resultant binding action when the axe goes through the springy portion of the sheathing.

D: When there is a tin covering between the asphalt covering and the roof boards, it will require an accurate cut to separate the tin from the roof boards. This frequently requires two cutting operations.
