Question 14

Question 14:

Two members discussing flooring in taxpayers agreed on all statements below except which incorrect choice?

A: Flooring can vary in taxpayers. The most common type floors are tongue and groove boards or plywood, supported by wood floor joists.

B: Heavy terrazzo or concrete is sometimes placed over wood joist floor construction, an exceptionally hazardous condition.

C:Paneling under display windows at street fronts can always be removed to offer ventilation and stream operation points for cellar fires. The flooring under the raised display platform is always omitted behind these panels.

D: In newer type taxpayer slab construction, concrete floors are prevalent on ground level with no basements or cellars in the buildings.

Answer 14

c Explanation:
Paneling under display windows at street fronts can SOMETIMES be removed to offer ventilation and stream operation points for cellar fires. The flooring under the raised display platform is SOMETIMES omitted behind these panels.
B Note: A fire in the cellar may weaken floor supports with little evidence of heat conditions on the first floor. These floors are difficult to ventilate to allow early advance of cellar lines or use of cellar pipes and distributors. Sudden failure due to weight on the floor is possible.

C: Special care must be exercised when these ceilings are constructed of heavy wire lath and plaster or tin, as these ceilings often fail and fall in one piece over the entire area of a store.

D:These ceilings should not be “punched” with a hook as the multiple layers of tin, sheetrock or tiles may be brought down by such action.

Answer 18

d Explanation:
These ceilings SHOULD be “punched” with a hook for water detection, to check construction and fire conditions. Multiple layers of tin, sheetrock or tiles may have been affixed together on supports which were not intended to carry such weight.
Also…When initially pulling suspended ceilings members should be in a safe area in case of total failure.

Question 31:
“Venting for Search” is often required at fire operations. Of the following choices, which is incorrect regarding this procedure?

A: Prior to venting a window for access, the member must determine if the ventilation profile indicates that the area may be tenable for search and does not pose a high risk to the member.

B: Once a decision has been made and approval has been granted to enter, the member should clear out the window for access and be cognizant that a new flow path has been created.

C: Upon completion of clearing the window and before entering, reassess the smoke and heat conditions to determine if the area is tenable. If conditions now prevent access, immediately notify the Ladder Company Officer of this situation.

D:After venting and entering, the priority action for the member is to conduct an immediate search of the area for victims.

Answer 31

d Explanation:
After venting and entering, the priority action for the member is to ISOLATE the area by closing a door BEFORE conducting the search (VEIS). By isolating the area the conditions in the room should improve as the closed door will stop the flow of fire conditions and the window will provide an exhaust vent allowing a safer and more effective search.
A Note: Members should also consider other factors, such as wind conditions, potential for auto-exposure and if there is a life hazard above your position.
C Note: If conditions are tenable, the member should reach in and probe the immediate area for potential victims.
