Q

Truck operations at H-type fires may vary considerably from operations at other nonfireproof multiple dwelling fires. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?
A: Aerial ladders, if first to arrive at an H-type fire, should not be positioned so as to block off the front entrance courtyard unless rescue operations must be performed.

B: If the fire is showing out windows in the throat, courtyard and front windows of an H-type, and a tower ladder stream is being used, it should be directed at the windows in the front of the building first, and then advanced toward the throat.

C: For fire in an H-type, an additional engine company and ladder company (beyond a full 1st alarm assignment) should be called for a medium fire condition. That is, when it is anticipated that two lines will be required.

D: If two floors of an H-type are involved in fire, or if there is an extensive cockloft fire, it will generally be necessary to transmit a 2nd alarm.

Explanation:
B) If fire is showing out windows in the throat, courtyard and front windows of an H-type, and a tower ladder stream is being used, it should be directed at the windows in the THROAT FIRST. The stream should then be advanced toward the FRONT of the building and finally operated into the FRONT WINDOWS.
A Note: When possible, this position should be taken by a tower ladder.

Q

Two members discussing “stack effect” at high rise office building fires disagreed on which incorrect point made during the conversation?
A: Natural vertical ventilation (ventilation without the use of fans), is an option. This will increase the stack effect and assist in the removal of smoke via the stairway.
B: Natural vertical ventilation is influenced by the stack effect as its effect increases as the building’s height increases.
C: Positive stack effect increases as the outside air temperature decreases in relation to the temperature inside the building and negative stack effect may occur when the outside temperature is greater than the temperature inside the building.
D: To obtain the greatest benefit from the stack effect, the doors at the bottom of the stairway must be closed when a stairway is used for smoke removal.

Notes: If the descent is difficult or tiring, another firefighter should “back up” the member carrying or assisting persons down the ladder. The duties would be to support and prevent the first member from slipping or falling backwards. Once they reach a position on the ladder where no danger exists, there is no need to rush.

Q

Of the following choices, which statement regarding Tower Ladder operations is incorrectly described?
A: All jacks and outriggers must be fully lowered whenever the Tower Ladder bucket is to be used, and remain lowered until the boom is bedded.
B: Controls at the Tower Ladder pedestal will allow for smoother positioning than the joystick controls in the bucket. For this reason the Pedestal Firefighter should, in most cases, perform delicate movements.
C: Detailed members should not operate on the turntable unless they are presently assigned to an Aerial Ladder, Tower Ladder or are a qualified Chauffeur-Tiller (QCT, School Trained).
D: During operations, the Pedestal Firefighter shall remain at the pedestal in full PPE until properly relieved by another trained member. Observe movement of the boom and be prepared to over-ride the bucket controls by stepping on the Safety Interlock Foot Pedal if the boom is in danger of striking an obstacle.
