When operating at an OLT fire, there are several procedures and techniques used when opening concealed spaces checking for fire extension. Choose the incorrect procedure/technique.
A: Beams in OLTs generally run parallel to front and rear walls. Lath is attached at right angles to the beams and runs front to rear. Each piece of lath usually covers two or more bays. The ceiling is penetrated with one firm stroke with the hook end parallel to the lath. This breaks only one lath on the upstroke instead of two or three. The hook is then turned to form a right angle to the lath and the ceiling is pulled with short, sharp strokes close to the beam
B: To make a hole high in a sidewall or partition of lath and plaster, use a hook to make initial penetration and then use hook to pull down or pry out if leverage is possible
C: To make a hole low in a side wall or partition, hold the hook like a javelin before making penetration. After an opening is made, the hook is then pushed down behind the lath and the lath is removed by pulling the handle.
D: Use the handle of the hook, or the point to make small probing holes in the ceiling to check for extension or to allow water to flow out as opposed to pulling
