If one stairway in encountered, the secondary means of egress will be a fire escape. D) Although there are rarely exposure problems in these buildings, the potential exists for rapid fire development and extensive smoke on the fire floor and all the floors above, especially the top floor.

Answer 34

ANSWER: C) Smaller 4 to 6 story fireproof buildings usually have 2 fireproof stairways which may be open or enclosed. If one stairway in encountered, the secondary means of egress will be a fire escape. (INCORRECT) * ONE (1) FIREPROOF stairway. (FFP - MDs 2.5)

Question 35

A newly promoted Lt. proficient in Engine operations should know which choice below to contain correct statements regarding Engine operations in non-fireproof tenements? 1. In most cases, the 1st line stretched via the interior stairs to the location of the fire. The purpose of this line is to protect the primary means of egress for occupants evacuating the building and to confine and extinguish the fire. 2. An exception to stretching the 1st line up the interior stairs may be made when smoke is issuing from windows opening onto the fire escape which may inconvenience people trying to come down the fire escape. In this case, the 1st line may be operated from the street to protect people on the fire escape. 3. A 2nd line should be promptly stretched to the interior of the building. 4. TL and Aerials should be utilized to their fullest extent by having hoselines stretched up them to facilitate extinguishment. 5. Hoselines should be operated into ventilation holes fromt he roof to facilitate rapid extinguishment in the cockloft and on the top floor. A) 1,3 B) 1,3,4,5 C) 1,3,5 D) 1,2

Two members of a busy Bronx company were discussing Engine operations in a non-fireproof tenement when one incorrect comment had to be adressed. Which is the incorrect comment? A) The 2nd line is usually stretched by way of the interior stairs to the same floor as the 1st line and is meant to augment the 1st line, if necessary. If not needed on the original fire floor, it is then advanced to the floor above. B) The 3rd line in the building should usually be stretched via the interior stairway to the floor above to ensure proper coverage and prevent extension. C) In some cases, the 2nd or 3rd line may be urgently needed in one of the exposure. The decision as to the location to which these lines shall be stretched rests with the IC, and is based on his size-up of the fire situation. D) At a fire in an OLT it is often necessary to stretch the 2nd or 3rd line into exposure 2 or 4 because the fire has extended, or is about to extend, across the narrow shaft or shafts between buildings..

Answer 36

ANSWER: B) The 3rd line in the building should usually be stretched via the interior stairway to the floor above to ensure proper coverage and prevent extension.

In all cases, this line should remain at this position and not be advanced down if there is an outside entrance to the cellar at the front or rear of the building. 2. For a store fire in an OLT a 2 1/2" line should be stretched for large volumes of fire and a 2nd line stretched immediately to the floor above the fire. 3. Stores in OLTs may have a door which opens into the public hallway on the 1st floor. The first floor public hallway should be examined immediately to determine whether the means of egress for the occupants of the building is in danger from the store fire and if so, a hoseline should be positioned to protect the interior stair. 4. At a stairway fire, the 1st line should be stretched up the stairway, operated to extinguish the fire, shut down and advanced further up the stairway. When possible, the line should be operated up the well hole to cool off the hall and stairs above. 5. At a stairway fire, a 2nd line should follow the 1st to finish up extinguishing operations and to serve as protection for members advancing the 1st line. 6. At a sgaft fire, the line should be stretched to the nearest point from which water can be directed onto fire in the shaft and sufficient hose must be stretched to reach the upper floors of the building. 7. At a shaft fire with rooms in the vicinity of a shaft, after the fire in the room has been knocked down the line should be operated into the shaft in order to knock down the shaft fire before continuing through the apartment for knockdown and final extinguishment.

B) Cockloft are s of OLTs are much smaller than those in NLTs and therefore are not as much of a problem. C) Because of the short span of floor beams (25'), and the fact that the floors are not heavily loaded, the collapse of floors in OLTs are usually not a problem. D) The danger of fire extending to exposed buildings is great and buildings in the rear are the greatest danger as these rear tenements are of frame or non-fireproof construction, and only 10 to 25 feet away.

Answer 41

ANSWER: D) The danger of fire extending to exposed buildings is great and buildings in the rear are the greatest danger as these rear tenements are of frame or non-fireproof construction, and only 10 to 25 feet away. (INCORRECT) * EXPOSURES 2 & 4 ARE THE GREATEST DANGER. * Rear is not as seriously exposed because they are 10-25 feet apart. * Rear tenements are also 10-25 feet away from building.
