Question 8:

Units responding to alarms for “unknown odors or fumes” have encountered airborne irritants such as pepper spray, mace or a mace-like substance during operations. When these irritants are encountered, all of the following actions would be considered correct with the exception of which choice?

A: Gather, evaluate, and report information prior to entering into or undertaking activities that would place members in a contaminated environment.

B: Full firefighting gear and SCBA will be used at all times as a minimum of protection against exposure.

C:Sheltering in place is always appropriate for exposed individuals, pending arrival of resources for decontamination.

D: Transmit the initial 10-80 signal to alert incoming units to proceed with caution to avoid entering a contaminated area. The Incident Commander should confer with the Haz Mat Battalion Chief to transmit the appropriate code.

A

c Explanation:
Realize that in the case of airborne irritants, EVACUATION would be appropriate for EXPOSED individuals, however, in some instances, evacuation through a toxic atmosphere may actually cause more harm than good, such as removing occupants from their uncontaminated apartments and transporting them through a contaminated public hallway or staircase. In this type of situation, the decision to shelter in place would be more appropriate.
In addition….Controlled ventilation (mechanical or natural) of the affected areas by fire department personnel will facilitate rapid dissipation of the vapor cloud. Be cognizant of where ventilation will move the product to. Avoid moving the product to occupied areas.

C: The primary water supply to the standpipe system in many buildings is a gravity tank. In many instances, there will be inadequate head pressures at the uppermost floor hose outlets supplied by that gravity tank; for this reason, the primary water supply for firefighting in most operations shall be Fire Department Engines.

D: When building fire pumps and Fire Department Engines are being used to supply the standpipe system, both systems must be monitored to prevent overheating caused by churning.

A

a Explanation:
Building fire pumps shall be capable of delivering their rated capacity at a pressure of 50 psi at the highest floor hose outlet.
Note: A good “rule of thumb” is to have a separate engine supply the standpipe system for each handline in operation.

Question 34:
Inflatable Water Rescue Hose may be used during Water/Ice rescue incidents involving one or more conscious victims. Every company, including Battalions, carry the Yellow Water Rescue Fittings. Which comment below about inflatable water rescue hose is incorrect?

A:Water rescue hose can be supplied with air from an SCBA. The FAST Pak shall not be used.

B: Yellow water rescue fittings are made up of one 2 ½” female cap with a shackle and snap bolt and one 2 ½” male fitting with a shackle and check valve.

C: One 45 minute cylinder can fill five lengths of 2 ½” hose in approximately 1 minute.

D: The apparatus air outlet can fill five lengths of hose in approximately 1 minute.

A

a vxplanation:
A. Supply air from either a SCBA or Fast-Pak using the Hansen fitting.

Q

Question 35:

What term describes the transformation of materials into their basic compound when subjected to heat?

A:Pyrolysis

B: Tenability

C: Heat Release Rate

D: Ventilation Profile

A

Explanation:
With pyrolysis, contents will continue to off-gas and add to the flammable fuel load within the compartment as long as the material is subjected to elevated temperatures.
B - Tenability - An assessment on whether units can operate within the fire area based on the conditions encountered and the impact of these conditions to potential victims and members.
C - Heat Release Rate - The rate at which energy is generated by the burning of a fuel and oxygen mixture. As the heat release rate increases, the heat, smoke production and pressure within the area will increase and spread along available flow paths toward low pressure areas (open doors, windows and roof openings).
D - Ventilation Profile - The appearance of the fire building’s ventilation points showing the flow paths of heat and smoke out of the structure as well as any air movement into the structure.

Question 36:
Vacant buildings have many potential hazards and some may even be “booby trapped.” Of the following choices which is correct?

A: Fires in vapors of gasoline develop slowly at the start, but progress rapidly as vapor production intensifies. Heat developed will be for a longer duration than that involving gasoline, producing a fire of rapid spread and greater magnitude.

B: Diesel vapors, immediately upon ignition, burn with lightning rapidity with high heat.

C: All members responding to vacant building fires, (especially the Can and FE Firefighters) are cautioned to note the method used to seal these buildings in their size-up. Access may be gained via the roof or upper floors only to find no means of escape from the lower floors.

D:The structural stability of the vacant building or parts of the building will be the most important aspect determining the initial attack strategy i.e., interior or exterior.

A

d Explanation:
Fires in vapors of DIESEL FUEL OIL develop slowly at the start, but progress rapidly as vapor production intensifies. Heat developed will be for a longer duration than that involving gasoline, producing a fire of rapid spread and greater magnitude.
GASOLINE vapors, immediately upon ignition, burn with lightning rapidity with high heat.
All members responding to vacant building fires, (especially the ROOF and OV Firefighters) are cautioned to note the method used to seal these buildings in their size-up. Access may be gained via the roof or upper floors only to find no means of escape from the lower floors.

Question 37:
While working in E-99 in the great borough of the Bronx, a FF from your unit and tells you that she thinks her PSS might be contaminated from the top floor fire earlier that night. The only correct procedure for decontamination of the PSS can be found in which choice?

A: When only the PSS “bag” is contaminated from fireground contaminates, the bag shall placed OOS

B: When only the PSS “bag” is grossly contaminated, the “bag” shall be spot cleaned in quarters

C:When the bag and rope (PSS) are contaminated from fireground contaminates, the bag and rope shall be decontaminated in quarters using a sponge and water. A mild detergent may be used if necessary

D: If either the rope or bag is placed OOS, the officer on duty is to notify the administrative battalion

Question 38:
Members responding to an incident involving a suspicious package, envelope, or powder, where NYPD is not yet on scene, would be correct to adhere to all of the following guidelines except?

A: Immediately request the response of the NYPD.

B:Transmit the appropriate 10-80 signal, specifying suspected asbestos.

C: A preliminary reconnaissance should be performed by FDNY resources to gather as much information as possible regarding the incident.

D: If ambulatory, have patients walk away from the area of exposure to another room or location that is isolated from other persons.

A

b Explanation:
Transmit the appropriate 10-80 signal, specifying suspected ANTHRAX.
In addition…
It patient contact is necessary, ensure proper PPE is worn by CFRs, EMTs and Paramedics as required and consistent with their level of haz-mat training (consult with the Haz Mat Battalion for PPE guidance).
Shut down HVAC zones within the incident location if necessary.
Limit the number of responders in the area to decrease the risk of exposure.

Question 39:
You just return from a run in which you transmitted a 10-35, and discovered that someone illegally entered quarters. Upon this discovery, you make the proper notifications. Choose the incorrect notification.

A:BFI

B: Administrative Battalion and Division

C: NYPD

Question 40:
Company Journal entries relating to receipt of alarms may be recorded in succession on a “single line” provided that each of the following is adhered to except?

A:Not more than two (2) such signals are so entered.

B: Such entries are not crowded or rendered indistinct.

C: The standard form of entries is followed precisely.

D:A comma and a space equal to two (2) letters separate such alarm entries on the same line.

a Explanation:
Not more than four (4) such signals are so entered.
Also….No unit “in quarters” is assigned to respond to these alarms, no other event requiring an entry intervenes between the times of these entries, and a new line is used for all entries other than these alarms (i.e. alarms received while out of quarters.)
