Question 2

Question 4:
Units are operating at a fire on the 3rd floor of a 5-story old law tenement. Hoselines are deployed in the following manner. Which line is deployed correctly?

A: In all cases, the first line must be stretched to the 3rd floor via the interior stairs.

B:After receiving a report that the fire is about to extend across a narrow shaft to exposure 2, the IC orders the 2nd line stretched to that exposure.

C: At this fire, the second line is usually stretched by way of the interior stairs to the 4th floor.

D: The 3rd hoseline is usually stretched via the interior stairs to a floor above the fire.

Answer 2

B Explanation:
A. In MOST CASES, the first line is stretched via the interior stairs to the location of the fire. An EXCEPTION to stretching the first line up the interior stairs may be made when FLAME is issuing from windows opening onto the fire escape and endangering people trying to come down the fire escape. In this case, the first line may be operated from the street to protect people on the fire escape. A second line should be promptly stretched to the interior of the building.

C. The second line is usually stretched by way of the interior stairs to THE SAME FLOOR AS THE FIRST LINE. IF NOT NEEDED ON THE ORIGINAL FIRE FLOOR, it is advanced to the floor above.

D. The third line in the building is usually stretched via the FIRE ESCAPE OR ROPE STRETCH via a window.
NOTE B: In some cases, the second or third lines may be urgently needed in one of the exposures. The decision as to the location to which these lines shall be stretched rests with the Incident Commander, and is based on his/her size-up of the fire situation. For example, at a fire in an Old Law Tenement it is often necessary to stretch the second or third line into Exposure 2 or 4 because fire has extended, or is about to extend, across the narrow shaft or shafts between buildings.
