Two members of a busy Queens Engine Company were discussing various methods for stretching a hoseline. In which choice below was an incorrect comment made?
A: Well holes can exist in all three types of return stairways (straight run stacked stairs, half-landing return stairs, or wrap-around stairs) and may also exist in some scissor stairways.
B: In a traditional stairway stretch, to properly manage turns on a stairway, the hose should be carried in the inside arm of the stretching members to prevent entangling hose as they climb the stairs.
C: In order for a well hole to be used, it must be large enough to accommodate the hose. An effective test for size is a closed hand; if you can fit your gloved fist inside a well hole, it should be large enough to execute a well hole stretch.
D: When conditions allow, during a well hole stretch, both the nozzle and back up firefighters may carry their lengths up the stairs. This technique should be considered when floors are larger and more hose is required on the fire floor.

During company drill, an engine officer had to correct a comment made by the truck officer regarding the “Rope Stretch.” Which comment was incorrect?
A: Tossing the rope may be necessary if the rope needs to be thrown a distance away from the building, but it introduces the possibility of the rope becoming caught in an obstruction, or not reaching the ground if it does not play out of the container properly. Tossing the rope requires members in the street to make a more complex knot to secure the hose.
B: The engine officer may lower the rope by lowering the working end of the rope to the members below, keeping the container upstairs with him/her. This ensures a smooth play-out of the rope as it is lowered and allows the members below to use a carabiner or clip on the working end of the rope to secure the hose.
C: At higher elevations, the increased weight of the hose may make it necessary to use a rolling hitch to secure the hose. The rolling hitch is used when the weight of the line hanging vertically is heavy enough to cause the hose to kink when a hose strap is used.
D: When used to secure a hose hanging vertically, the width of the rolling hitch (wrapped 3 times around the hose) prevents kinking. The rolling hitch must be properly tied directly above a hose coupling and anchored with a substantial object knot inside the building.

Explanation:
D) When used to secure a hose hanging vertically, the width of the rolling hitch (wrapped 4 TIMES around the hose) prevents kinking. The rolling hitch must be properly tied directly BELOW a hose coupling and anchored with a substantial object knot inside the building.

Properly transporting and deploying portable ladders can make operations safer and more efficient. Of the following choices, which is not in accordance with Department policy?
A: To ladder the rear of a rowframe, in most cases taking the ladder through the second floor of an adjoining rowframe and passing it out the rear window to another member in the yard below is faster than using the fire building.
B: In a brownstone, it is important to take the ladder through with the butt facing the rear of the building.
C: In a row frame, transporting a ladder through the interior of the building to the rear is generally less complicated because there are front and rear doors or window entries at ground level.
D: Most often, all floors in the rear of a brownstone can be reached with portable extension ladders. It is recommended that extension ladders be used in lieu of straight ladders due to their shorter nested length and ability to be adjusted.
