Fire Officer 3rd Edition Chapter 17 Flashcards
Modern dwellings are
Twice a big as legacy dwellings
What did the UL STUDY ON EFFECTIVENESS OF FIRE SERVICE VERTICAL VENTILATION AND SUPPRESSION TACTICS IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FIND
It is essential to control the exit door and to restrict introduction of air to delay flashover
Only way to go from ventilation limited to fuel limited is the water and vertical ventilation
30-90 seconds of water dramatically reduces fire development
You cannot make a big enough ventilation hole to localize fire growth or reduce temperatures in ventilation limited fires
Four factors that distinguish modern homes from legacy homes
Larger homes,
open house geometry
Increased fuel load
New construction materials
Modern home more allow
More air to support rapid fire propagation
New modern fires are ventilation limited resulting in
Different time temperature curve
Term
Record of fire temperature increase over time
Standard time curve GUIDES TO TESTING BUILDING PARTITIONS AND FLOORS FOR FIRE RESISTANCE
Term
The volume between an inlet and an example of that allows the movement of eight and support from a higher pressure area within the buyer area toward a lower pressure areas accessible via doors windows in other openings
Flow path
House built after 1980 is considered
Modern dwelling
Term
Conduct of suppression operations outside of the fire structure, these operations feature the use of large capacity fire streams place between the fire in the exposure typically an extension
Defensive operation
Term
A systemic method of accounting for all personnel at an emergency incident
Personnel accountability system PAR
Term
The objectives reflecting the overall strategy tactics risk management remember safety that I developed by the incident commander. Instead of action plans updated throughout the Internet
IAP
Incident action plan
Term
In a Vance into the fire building by fire fires with the hose line or other extinguishing agents needed to overpower the fire
Offensive attack
Term
A situation in which an operation is changing are preparing to change
Transitional operation
The fire officers personal and physical involvement is fire suppression should NEVER
Override his or her supervisory duties.
Most continuously evaluate the effectiveness
During suppression the experience of the crew memeber should be balanced with
Nature of the assignment
During emergency the office new what type of leadership style
Authoritative
A framework to allow activities and emergency seem to be completed and in efficient manner completed through the effort of everyone involved in any event is called
SOP
NFPA 1720
The end result of a GOOD SCENE SIZE up that considers all the pertinent information, define strategy and tactics, and a science resources to complete those tactics is
Incident ACTION PLAN
Layman 5 step process
FActs
Probabilities
Situation
Decision
Plan of operational
In Layman fundamental of fire tactics STEP 3 situation includes what 3 considerations?
Resources on acne and en route to handle the incident
Specific capabilities and limitations in responding resource in relation to the problem
Capabilities and limitation of personnel based on training and experience
What is the last step in Layman fire tactics
Make fire attack decisions
What is the first step in NFA size up
Pre incident information
What acronym covers the critical factors in developing a strategy
RECEO VS
The highest priority and all incident action plans
Life safety
Minimizing water damage, using salvage covers, venting smoke and heat from a burning building are characteristics of
Property conservation
The stage of RECEO VS To keep the Internet from getting bigger
Exposures
What is the fifth and last step in RECEO
Salvage (does not have a specific place on the priority list)
Low rise single family home is what style construction
Type 5
One very important consideration when an evaluation areas being considerate
Nature of the event
Consider ERG and CHEMTREC
Singles family dwelling
Pre 1930 less than 1000 sq ft
Emergency and Incident operations must be conducted in a what kind of manner
Structured inconsistent
What does command staff include
Safety officer, liaison officer, public information positions
The ability to size up a fire situation requires both
Systemic approach in solid foundation of reference information
What is a key factor of a size up when selecting appropriate strategy mode
Risk benefit analysis
The volume of applied water must be sufficient to absorb the heat that is being released two
Extinguish the fire
Many fires are currently creating a dark fire scene full of tripping hazards and obstacles. What is a important safety consideration
Lights of illumination
Tactical priorities are subdivide into?
Task and assign to companies
(Task are specific assignments that are typically performed by one company or a small number of companies working together)
The resources assigned to an incident very greatly and influence by
History, tradition, but it
A working fire in a high-rise structure requires more firefighters and expanded
ICS
What branch Within logistics section of ICS I received communication, medical and food units
Service branch
What branch and logistics ICS. Overseas supply, facilities, ground support units
Support branch
