Specific factors require the stretching and operation of certain size hoselines at fire operations. Each of the units listed below made a decision compatible with Fire Department standard operating procedures except in which incorrect choice?
A: Engine 1 is assuming a purely defensive position at a tenement fire so they stretched a 2 1/2” hoseline.
B: Engine 2 is advancing into a commercial building that has a large, uncompartmented fire area, so they stretched a 2 1/2” hoseline.
C: Engine 3 stretched a second line into a taxpayer. The Officer ordered this line to be 1 3/4” even though the 1st line was a 2 1/2”.
D: Engine 4 is operating off of a standpipe at a small fire in a subway and stretched a 1 3/4” hose line.

D:✔Engine 4 is operating off of a standpipe at a small fire in a subway and stretched a 1 3/4” hose line.
Explanation:
D) Engine 4 is operating off of a standpipe at a small fire in a subway and stretched a 2 1/2” hose line.
There are five situations in which the use of the 1 ¾” hoseline would not be appropriate and a larger hoseline should be used:
Acronym: DALAS
Defensive (purely) position
Area of fire size/extent unknown
Large, uncompartmented fire area
Advanced fire conditions
Standpipe operations
*be advised that “Large volume of water required to cool a superheated fire area” was removed as a factor requiring a 2 1/2” hose line in this latest update.
All hoselines stretched at an operation do NOT need to be the same size; if the initial hoseline stretched is a 2 ½” line, subsequent hoselines are NOT required to also be 2 ½” hose. If the engine officer determines the use of a smaller hoseline would be appropriate, subsequent hoselines may be 1 ¾” hose.

Lt Powers and Lt Lynam were discussing various conditions that may be encountered at a fire scene and had to correct which incorrect comment made by a third member?
A: A smoke explosion can occur without warning but will only occur when there is a sudden change in ventilation.
B: A smoke explosion occurs when a smoke-air mixture falls within its flammable range, either internal or external to the fire compartment, and is ignited in a manner resulting in a significant pressure front.
C: Backdrafts are caused when there is an introduction of oxygen to a compartment that has been pressurized by the smoke and fire gases of an oxygen-deficient fire in the Decay Stage.
D: Flash fires involve a flame moving though a flammable mixture with considerable speed, without developing a significant over-pressure. Flash fires usually self-extinguish, although sometimes may ignite secondary fires.
