EXAM 7

Question 1

Question 1:
Units arrive on scene of a taxpayer fire in the cockloft of the middle store of a row a five stores. The original fire building is an unoccupied Nail Salon. Fire is extending rapidly to exposure 02, an unoccupied Barber Shop. Fire is also extending, although not as rapidly, to exposure 04, an occupied Deli. Exposures 02A and 04A are both unoccupied. Which of the following line placements at this fire is correct?

A: The first line was stretched into the Nail Salon to control the main body of fire.

B: The second line is stretched into the Deli.

C:The first line is stretched into the Deli.

D: The first two lines must be stretched into the Nail Salon.

Answer 1

C Explanation:
First line is stretched into the most seriously exposed occupancy/building, depending on the LIFE HAZARD AND THE LOCATION AND SEVERITY OF THE FIRE.
**THE OCCUPIED DELI IN THIS SCENARIO**

WHEN EXPOSURES ARE NOT AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM, THEN THE FIRST LINE SHOULD BE STRETCHED INTO THE STORE UNDER THE MAIN BODY OF FIRE AND OPERATED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.

The SECOND LINE is stretched into ANOTHER SERIOUSLY EXPOSED BUILDING/OCCUPANCY AND OPERATE INTO THE COCKLOFT TO CONFINE AND EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO SKIP STORES IN ORDER TO CONFINE A COCKLOFT FIRE.

Question 21

Question 21:

B: If there is fire in two apartments on a floor or fire involves an apartment from front to rear, two lines may be needed on that floor

C:If people are out on the fire escape when the first engine company arrives, and it appears that those people are in danger because of fire coming out of the windows, then the first engine will quickly stretch one line and provide protection to the people on the fire escape on the street, while the second arriving engine stretches the second line to the fire floor for extinguishment

D: Engine companies with lines in exposures can extinguish a great deal of fire in the fire building by operating cross the shaft. However, this should not be done without permission of the IC

Answer 21

C Explanation:
If people are out on the fire escape when the first engine company arrives, and it appears that those people are in danger because of fire coming out of the windows, then two lines should be stretched. One line will remain in the street to protect the people on the fire escape and the other line will be taken into the building

Question 22

Question 22:

While operating at a fire in a taxpayer with 7 occupancies, you determine the original fire occupancy to be in the exact center occupancy of the row of stores. With your knowledge of appropriate sectoring and exposure identification, you should know that the occupancy two occupancies/stores to the left of the original fire occupancy should be exposure?

A: O2

B:O2A

C: O2B

D: 2

Answer 22

B Explanation:
Since the original fire occupancy is “O”, the 1st occupancy to the left is “O2” and the second to the left is “O2A”. “O” always comes first if the “taxpayer” is the original fire building, and not simply an exposed building.
If an H-type is the original fire building and a taxpayer (with multiple occupancies) is an exposure, the “O” will come second (I.e. 2O, 2OA, 2OB. Etc.)

Question 26

Question 26:

Exposed steel “I” beams are commonly used in taxpayer construction to support roof and floor joists. Of the following choices, which contains incorrect information?

A: “I” beams are often built into side or rear masonry walls, or butt the front parapet wall, where they are supported by masonry piers or iron columns at the storefronts.

B: A large, heavy “I” beam will be able to absorb more heat and its temperature will rise more slowly than a lightweight beam.

C: If “I” beams are restrained from expanding (an unlikely occurrence at roof level in taxpayers), they will buckle. Sometimes an “I” beam will push out a small section of bricks and allow fire to extend to exposures.

D:Heated steel beams or columns which are cooled by hose streams will crack or fail. Cooling a steel member with a hose line should never be attempted.

Answer 26

D Explanation:
There is a false impression that hot steel beams or columns cooled by hose streams will crack or fail. Cooling a steel member will cause it to regain its strength and load carrying ability, and under normal circumstances, there should be no hesitation in cooling these members.
HOWEVER, if the beam has already sagged under the weight of floors or roof, firefighters should not be allowed in the possible collapse zone, whether these beams are cooled or not. The steel will contract to its original length as it is cooled and if the beam has sagged, this shortening may pull the end of the beams off their supports or twist the beam allowing the joists to drop.

Buildings supplied with steam will have a steam control room filled with pipes. There will be a number of valves to control the supply of steam.

A:The inside service valve will be labeled and sealed and shall only be shut by members under the direction of Con Ed personnel.

B: Members shall not attempt to shut the building steam shutoff outside the building under any circumstances.

C: Before any valve can be reopened by Con Ed personnel the system will have to be drained.

D: Adjoining areas to the steam leak must be searched.

Question 28

Question 28:

Knowledge of taxpayer construction is of great benefit to members. Of the following choices, all are correct except?

A: When steel beams are heated from 1000 F to 1500 F, their yield strength drops dramatically and they start to soften and fail. This temperature can be reached in five to ten minutes at a fire.

B: Columns in taxpayers can be made from wood, cast iron, lally columns (steel or cast iron) or masonry piers which support the beams. Cast iron columns are unpredictable and fail, on the average, in about thirty (30) minutes in fire endurance tests.

C:The failure of a girder is generally more serious than the failure of a column. The failure of a column in the cellar can cause the subsequent collapse of the floors and roof.

D: As many as two or three dropped ceilings may be found in a particular store. These suspended ceilings offer their own collapse potential when loaded with water or weakened by fire and are sometimes blown down by a backdraft in the cockloft.

Answer 28

C Explanation:
The failure of a column is generally more serious than the failure of a girder or beam. The failure of a column in the cellar can cause the subsequent collapse of the floors and roof.

B: Prior to proceeding above the fire, the second arriving ladder officer should ensure that the officers on the fire floor are made aware of his/her intentions so that those operating above can be warned of any situation necessitating withdrawal.

C: If you cannot gain entry into safe area on the floor above and the attack line is in position and ready to advance, you must immediately return to the fire floor, before the door to the fire area is opened.

Question 33:

Members should be familiar with the location and operation of fire pumps in high rise office buildings. Of the following choices, which contains incorrect information?

A: Follow signs or directions to the pump room which is normally located on the lowest floor (cellar or sub-cellar). Locate the pump and note the gauges on the inlet and discharge lines.

B:Locate the bypass valve which should be on the discharge side of the fire pump. The discharge side can be readily identified by examining the gauges; the discharge gauge is calibrated for lower pressures than the inlet gauge.

C:The bypass valve should be in the closed position (stem in). If found to be open, it should be closed by turning in a clockwise direction.

D: The efficiency of the pump will be affected if the bypass is open. A loss of 25% can be expected in an 8” riser and a loss of 45% can be expected in a 6” riser with the bypass open.

Answer 33

Explanation:
Locate the bypass valve which should be on the discharge side of the fire pump. The discharge side can be readily identified by examining the gauges; the discharge gauge is calibrated for HIGHER pressures than the inlet gauge.
“C” note: Some systems are quite complex and the bypass valve is not readily discernible. If such a situation is present, it is permissible to start pump as ordered without checking bypass valve. Notify the engineer upon his/her arrival of this and any other actions taken.
