- BC Question - E99 and L100 are responding to a phone alarm for a report of an alarm ringing in a private dwelling. Upon arrival fire is blowing out one window on the 2nd floor of the 2 story private dwelling. Capt. Kanden of L100 transmits a 10-75 and proceeds to the front door of the dwelling with his inside team. Lt. Corrpez of E99 orders his members to start a 1 3⁄4” line to the front of the house. The roof firefighter proceeds to the roof, the LCC is in the front setting up the tower ladder, and the OV has made his way to the rear of the building. When the OV gets to the rear he sees a victim at a window on the second floor. The victim then falls to the floor inside the window as he is overcome by smoke. The OV immediately puts up a ladder, notifies his captain, and enters the building alone to make the rescue of the victim. While the OV is rescuing the victim the LCC starts to make his way to the rear but when he arrives the OV is already bringing the victim down the ladder. The OV transmits a 10-45 to the IC, B99, who has now arrived on the scene. After the rescue the fire is quickly extinguished, searches were conducted, and operations are concluded. The Deputy Chief, D9, never arrived as they were involved in an accident enroute to the scene. At this incident, who is responsible to complete a report since the OV entered the building alone to address a known life hazard? This report must be sent to whom? MMID Chapter 1 1.4 A. The Captain of L100 / Chief of the Department. B. The BC in B99 / Chief of Operations. C. The Captain of L100 / Chief of Operations. D. The BC in B99 / Chief of Department.
B - Note: In all incidents of such individual action, the Incident Commander shall forward a report detailing the full particulars to the Chief of Operations. A thorough review of each of these incidents will be conducted.
- When an understaffed Engine or Ladder Company, a unit staffed with less than 4 firefighters, is the only unit on the scene, the company shall take a defensive position. However, if a known life hazard is discovered and immediate action could prevent the loss of life, appropriate action (rescue activity) may be taken by an individual member. This applies only for a known life hazard, not for standard search and rescue activity. E99 is understaffed and has just arrived at a fire on the 1st floor of a 3 story multiple dwelling. There is no indication of a life hazard, however the 1st floor hallway and stairway is charged with smoke. E99, the only unit on the scene, would be correct to take all but which of the actions listed below? MMID Ch. 1 2.1 A. Check and hook up to a hydrant. B. Conduct a size up of the scene. C. Transmit the appropriate radio signals. D. Position and raise a portable ladder. E. Stretch a hoseline to the hallway on the 1st floor near the entrance to the fire apartment.
E - Stretching a hoseline to outside the IDLH atmosphere
- A Safety Team must be available at all times and shall normally be made up of the Backup and Control firefighters of the second arriving engine. However, there will be times when entry into an IDLH atmosphere is necessary prior to the arrival of the first two engine companies. Listed below are four different situations where units operated alone at fires prior to the arrival of the 1st two Engine companies and the FAST Unit. Which safety team was composed of the wrong members? MMID Ch. 1 2.1.1 A. The Officer of L100, staffed with 5 firefighters, designated the safety team as the LCC and the Roof Firefighter. B. The Officer of L99, staffed with 4 firefighters, designated the safety team as the LCC and the Roof firefighter. C. The Officer of E99, staffed with 5 firefighters, designated the safety team as the Control and Door firefighters. D. The Officers of E98 and L101, both staffed with 5 firefighters, designated the safety team as the Control firefighter and the LCC.
A - 5 FF Ladder-The Safety Team is composed of the LCC firefighter and the OV firefighter.
- BC Question - BC Bongino is working a day tour in B99 and responded to two fires at which he was the 1st due Chief. At which fire(s) did BC Bongino not operate in accordance with FDNY procedures? 2.2, 2.3 Fire 1: Fire 2: The fire started in the kitchen on the 1st floor of a 2 story private dwelling, was quickly extinguished, and there was no extension. The 1st due truck called for relief and the FAST Unit Officer told BC Bongino that they were ready to go. BC Bongino special called an additional truck and ordered the FAST Unit to continue to operate as the FAST unit since the fire was not yet declared under control. The fire started in a rear bedroom of apartment 2A on the 2nd floor of a 3 story MD. The fire was quickly extinguished and there was no extension. When the FAST Unit arrived, they informed BC Bongino that they were staffed with 4 firefighters. BC Bongino immediately called for an additional FAST truck to replace the original FAST unit since that unit was not fully staffed. A. BC Bongino operated correctly at both fires. B. BC Bongino operated incorrectly at both fires. C. BC Bongino operated incorrectly at Fire 1 only. D. BC Bongino operated incorrectly at Fire 2 only.
C - In some situations, a ladder company staffed with four firefighters may be assigned as a FAST unit.
- The purpose of the Firefighter Assist and Search Team (FAST) is to be immediately available to assist a member who becomes trapped, distressed, or involved in other serious life threatening situations. Which point about the FAST unit is not correct? 2.1, 3 A. The dispatcher shall allocate a ladder company which shall be designated as the FAST Unit, upon transmission of signals 10-60, 10-66, 10-75, 10-76, and 10-77. The dispatcher will notify the assigned unit that it is designated as the FAST Unit and notify the IC of the identity of the responding FAST Unit. B. Upon arrival, the FAST unit officer shall verify that the IC is aware of the unit’s presence and designation as the FAST unit. If assigned by the IC to other than FAST duties, the FAST officer shall REMIND the IC of their FAST designation. C. The FAST Unit shall report to and stage near the Incident Command Post (ICP), within visual contact, at a position from which they can be readily deployed. An EFAS trained member of the FAST Unit shall report to a Division vehicle on the scene to monitor the EFAS and the FAST Radio. D. The FAST officer should bring an up to date copy of the response ticket to the ICP which would include any CIDS information that is available. The officer of the FAST Unit shall announce their arrival on the scene over the handie-talkie and report to the ICP, unless otherwise directed by the IC.
C - The FAST Unit shall report to and stage near the Incident Command Post (ICP), within verbal contact, at a position from which they can be readily deployed.
- L100 was operating as the FAST unit at a fire on the 2nd floor of a 2 story private dwelling when they were deployed to help remove the control firefighter from the 1st due Engine, E99. The control firefighter slipped and fell on the staircase leading to the second floor and may have broken his ankle. Which transmission given by members of the FAST unit, L100, was incorrect? 4.3, 4.4 A. “L100 FAST to Command, we are at the location of the downed firefighter”. B. “L100 FAST Roof to L100 FAST, I have the FAST Pak ready if you need it”. C. “L100 FAST to E99, we have your control firefighter and are removing him now” D. “L100 FAST OV to command, be advised there is still fire blowing out 1 window in the rear”.
B - Communication between FAST Unit members does not require the use of the word FAST after the unit designation. Ex: “Ladder 157 CAN to Ladder 157”
- In addition to the normally assigned ladder company tools, the FAST Unit shall report to the ICP, in all situations, with all of the following equipment except which one? 8 A. Life Saving Rope and the Life Belt. B. FAST Pak. C. Pak-Tracker. D. Stokes Basket with long backboard. E. Search Rope
A - FAST Pak Search Rope Stokes Basket with long backboard 2:1 Rope Pak-Tracker Note: A member other than the member monitoring EFAS will monitor the Pak-Tracker. “PQRST” P-FAST Pak Q- Normal eQuipment R- search Rope S- Stokes Basket w/ long board T- Two to one rope
- All members of the FAST Unit should be fully prepared to operate upon arrival and must be ready for immediate deployment as directed by the IC. Which point about the operation of the FAST unit is incorrect? 5.1, 5.2 A. A member must be assigned the FAST Pak and is responsible to manage the air supply of the distressed member, if needed. B. If a member is EFAS trained, upon arrival, he/she must report to the Battalion vehicle being used to monitor EFAS. This FAST Unit member shall remain in the Battalion vehicle and monitor both EFAS and the Battalion’s FAST Radio for the duration of the incident, even if the FAST Unit is given an assignment. C. If a member is not EFAS trained, upon arrival, he/she must report to the Battalion vehicle on scene to monitor both EFAS and the FAST Radio Board. This FAST Unit member shall remain in the Battalion vehicle and monitor both EFAS and the Battalion’s FAST Radio for the duration of the incident, unless the FAST Unit is given an assignment. D. A survey of the fire building should be done by the FAST unit to determine the following: Access for portable ladders, presence of fire escapes and party wall balconies, the type and location of stairs and elevators, and any obstructions that would hinder access to any side of the structure.
C - If the member is not EFAS trained, upon arrival, report to a Battalion vehicle on scene to monitor the FAST Radio Board. The member assigned the FAST Radio shall remain in the Battalion vehicle and monitor the FAST Radio for the duration of the incident, even if the FAST Unit is given an assignment. Note: Whether EFAS trained or not, the FAST Unit member assigned to monitor EFAS and/or the FAST Radio shall remain in the Battalion vehicle, even if the FAST Unit is given an assignment, until relieved.
- During a drill at the Rock regarding FAST unit operations, members of L100 made the following three points and were correct in all but which? A. When the FAST Unit operation requires the use of a ladder, avoid repositioning ladders already in place against a fire building unless it is a life threatening situation and a notification is made to the members operating in that area. Ladders in place may be providing a means of egress for operating firefighters. B. When the FAST Unit arrives at the location of the distressed member, the transmitting member of the FAST Unit shall depress the EAB on the downed member’s handie-talkie. This will identify the member of the FAST Unit transmitting the emergency message on EFAS and the FAST Radio and will also ensure the message is transmitted at the maximum wattage. C. When the FAST unit arrives at the location of a downed member they should assess fire, air, immediate medical care, and removal. D. The FAST Unit shall remain intact and not split up when dealing with large commercial or complex buildings.
B - If possible, depress the EAB of the member in distress.
- Which suffix designations listed below are correctly indicated? (More than one correct). Comm. Man. Ch. 2, 2.12.3 A. “K” indicates Rescue Task Force on a 10-66 signal. B. “G” indicates FAST Group Supervisor. C. “L” indicates Firefighter Locator Officer. D. “S” indicates Staging Area Manager assigned on a 10-66.
B, C
- When a member needs to be rescued, all other members on the scene must be well versed in the proper use, care, and limitations of the equipment used to rescue the downed member. Which point below is not entirely correct about this lifesaving equipment? MMID Ch. 3 Add 2 and 3
A. The DRD can be deployed to assist in the removal of a non-ambulatory injured or unconscious member. The DRD is designed for horizontal drags and can be used to pull members up a stairway.
B. Nylon tubular webbing comes in 20’ lengths, has a breaking strength 4000 lbs., has a knotted breaking strength 3000 lbs., and must be made into a continuous loop before use by using a water knot.
C. Nylon tubular webbing shall only be used for dragging victims; no vertical lifts should be attempted. Each Officer and member will be issued a length of webbing which will become part of the member’s personal equipment.
D. To requisition replacement lengths of webbing the Officer on Duty should forward an RT-2 to the tool room. The webbing can be cleaned with mild soap and water, allowed to dry naturally avoiding direct sunlight, and should be inspected monthly and after each use.
A - NOTE: Any attempt to use the device for other than a horizontal drag could result in the member slipping out of their bunker coat. In addition, serious injury could occur to member’s upper torso. Members should not be dragged up stairs utilizing the DRD.
- When a mayday is transmitted for a firefighter that is lost, missing, trapped, or in distress time will not be on your side. This is why it is essential that units follow department procedures regarding firefighter removal. Which point about firefighter removal is not correct? MMID Ch.3, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.3
A. It is important to emphasize that the operating units continue to fight the fire when a mayday/urgent is transmitted for a distressed firefighter. The abandonment of Engine or Ladder company operations places the trapped member and the rescuing firefighters in severe danger.
B. The Company Officer of the FAST unit should never get physically involved in the firefighter removal operation. It is the responsibility of the officer to supervise the operation and keep the members focused with the job at hand.
C. When the member has been located, the appropriate radio transmissions must be made. Whether or not the removal involves a conscious or unconscious member, the priorities will be fire/environment, air, immediate medical care, and removal.
D. It is important to transmit a clear and concise message with the appropriate information. An unclear message will only cause confusion and delays. When wearing the facepiece, the microphone must be placed directly on the voicemitter.
B - Unless there is no one else available the Company Officer should not get physically involved in the operation.
- Lt. Beck is working a day tour in L100 and has just arrived with his unit at a fire on the 1st floor of a 2 story flat roof private dwelling. L100 is the FAST unit and after reporting into the command post they hear a mayday from the Irons FF from L99. The member who gave the mayday says he is having chest pains and can’t walk out of the building. The IC quickly deploys L100 to go remove the Irons FF from L99. Lt. Beck and his can FF quickly locate the Irons FF from L99 and begin to assess his condition. Lt. Beck calls the other members of his FAST Team and says they just need the Stokes Basket and removal will be quick. The Roof FF from L100 calls Lt. Beck and asks if he wants the FAST Pak in addition to the Stokes Basket. Lt. Beck says they only need the Stokes Basket as the Irons FF from L99 has plenty of air left in his cylinder. Do you agree or disagree with Lt. Beck’s actions at this fire? A. Agree or D. Disagree
D - 7.2 Once the member is located, a FAST Pak must be called for immediately, regardless of whether the member has air or not.
- When members arrive at the location of a downed firefighter it is of critical importance to determine if the member has air or not. Listed below are four ways to determine if the unconscious member has air or not. Which two are not described correctly? (More than one correct). MMID Ch. 3, 7.6
Turn the purge valve. If there is air, the flow will be heard.
If the facepiece is on, remove the regulator from the facepiece and listen for air escaping.
Look at the remote gauge of the downed member.
Look at the cylinder gauge of the downed member.
B & D -
7.6 If unable to determine if an unconscious member has air or not, supply the member with air. There are three ways to determine whether the member has air:
Turn the purge valve. If there is air, the flow will be heard.
If the facepiece is on, break the seal between the member’s face and facepiece and
listen for air escaping.
Look at the remote gauge of the downed member.
- Members of L100 were drilling on firefighter removal and made the following points. Which was the only correct point made at this drill? MMID Ch. 3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.7, 7.9
Members in distress should not remove their facepiece unless their air supply is depleted.
It is a good practice to use the facepiece with the FAST Pak as the member’s facepiece may
be damaged.
C. Air may be supplied to the member through the use of the low pressure system by one of the following methods: FAST Pak regulator with the member’s facepiece, Hansen fitting of the low pressure hose, or the FAST Pak facepiece and regulator.
D. The UAC is for emergency use only when a member is low or out of air within an IDLH. If the condition of the distressed member’s SCBA is in doubt use caution when providing air via the high pressure system.
C - If the condition of the distressed member’s SCBA is in doubt DO NOT provide air via the high pressure system. - Use the downed member’s facepiece, unless it is damaged or missing, instead of the facepiece with the FAST Pak. The member might require a special size facepiece, and using their personal facepiece will provide a better seal. -
Air may be supplied to the member through the use of the low pressure system by one of the following methods:
FAST Pak regulator with the member’s facepiece.
Hansen Fitting of the low pressure hose.
FAST Pak facepiece and regulator.
- Once a member is distress is located and the proper radio transmissions have been made, the member needs to be properly identified to ensure it is the member originally reported in distress. Which point about identifying a member is incorrect? MMID Ch. 3, 10
A. If the member is unconscious, positioning him/her on their left side as this will provide access to the member’s name on back of their bunker coat and the PRA ID number on the mask. B. If the member is unconscious, depress the EAB of the member in distress if possible. The activation of the distressed member’s EAB will identify them in EFAS. Notify the IC via handie- talkie prior to EAB activation of the distressed member.
C. If the member is unconscious, and you are unable to activate the distressed member’s EAB, key the mic on the distressed member’s handie-talkie to obtain their identity in EFAS.
D. To accurately identify the distressed member by the use of the Pak-Tracker and EFAS, it is imperative that all members ensure that both the SCBA and the handie-talkie coincide with their assigned position.
A - Positioning them on their right side (Photo 1) will provide access to the following:
- Members should be familiar with the proper packaging techniques and basic removal methods so that in the event of a downed member, removal can be accomplished quickly and efficiently. Which point about firefighter removal is not correct? MMID Ch. 3,
A. When an unconscious firefighter is found, it is more effective to attempt a quick removal of the member rather than get involved in the slower work of packaging the firefighter.
B. If possible, position the member so that their back is facing toward the direction of removal prior to starting the packaging process.
C. An operating member/unit that locates and starts the packaging process of the distressed member will most likely will be fatigued and have a diminished air supply. Turning the operation over to the dedicated FAST Unit upon their arrival will facilitate the timely removal of the distressed member.
D. Packaging a conscious member is not always required for removal. In most situations, packaging an unconscious member will be required for removal. The method used to package the member will be determined by the type and the degree of difficulty involved in the removal.
A - When an unconscious firefighter is found, it is more effective to take the time to package the member prior to attempting removal. Attempting removal before packaging will delay the removal, and may pull the member out of their SCBA harness and bunker gear.
- Members of L100 were conducting a drill in quarters which involved removing a downed firefighter. In the scenario, the downed firefighter was located at the bottom of the basement stairs and needs to be brought up and out of the basement. In order to make the drill more realistic, Lt. Smith had one of his firefighters lie at the bottom of the stairs and act as the downed / unconscious firefighter. Lt. Smith told his firefighter to don all of his PPE and get a mask off the rig to use in the drill. The firefighter returned in his gear and a mask from L100 and the members did the drill. After the drill the firefighter who was acting as the downed / unconscious firefighter showed the proby how to repack the DRD since the members used it to assist in carrying him up the stairs. Did the members follow FDNY procedure in conducting this drill? MMID Ch. 2, Addendum 2, Ch. 3, Addendum 2
A. Agree or D. Disagree
D - NOTE: Any attempt to use the device for other than a horizontal drag could result in the member slipping out of their bunker coat. In addition, serious injury could occur to member’s upper torso. Members should not be dragged up stairs utilizing the DRD.
- BC Question - An Incident Commander (IC) must manage the emergency incident to which they are assigned. The IC must develop strategies and tactics to stabilize and eventually control the emergency. Which action(s) taken by the IC is/are not correct? (More than one incorrect) MMID Ch. 4, 2.3, 3.2, 7.1, 7.2
A. The IC shall immediately notify the dispatcher when the FAST unit is being put to work and request a replacement FAST unit. The IC shall also announce over the handie-talkie tactical channel, that the FAST unit has been assigned to address the member in distress and all units shall continue with their present assignment.
B. The IC shall announce the FAST unit’s arrival and identity over the handie-talkie at the scene. On receipt of this announcement, the members performing the duties of the Safety Team shall return to their original assignments.
C. When a mayday/urgent has been transmitted for a member in distress, the IC shall immediately acknowledge the mayday/urgent transmission. Additionally, the identity of the member transmitting the message should be verified by the member assigned to monitor EFAS. D. The FAST unit shall not be returned to service prior to their arrival on the scene unless the incident is placed “Under Control”. The FAST unit shall not be used to provide relief for operating units until the fire has been declared “Probably Will Hold”.
C, D - - Prior to acknowledging the MayDay/Urgent transmission, pause momentarily to obtain the transmitting member’s Internal Radio Identification Code, which may be obtained from either the Battalion HT or FAST Radio - The FAST unit shall not be used to provide relief for operating units until the fire has been declared “Under Control”.
- BC Question - BC Knowitall is working a day tour and is operating as the IC at a fire on the 3rd floor of a 5 story MD. The fire was in apartment 3B and contained to the kitchen and living room. BC Knowitall transmitted a 10-75 and shortly thereafter the all hands. After the fire was knocked down and the primary searches were completed, the Officer from the 1st due truck calls BC Knowitall and asks for relief. BC Knowitall orders the FAST Unit to go ahead and relieve the 1st due truck and then calls for an additional truck to replace the FAST Unit. DC Jones has now arrived on the scene and is very upset with BC Knowitall since he ordered the FAST Unit to work prior to the fire being placed under control. In this situation which action below must now be taken? MMID Ch. 4, 8.1
A. BC Knowitall must forward a report to the Chief of Department and notify the respective Borough Commander or Command Chief immediately after the incident is “Under Control”.
B. DC Jones must forward a report to the Chief of Operations and notify the respective Borough Commander or Command Chief immediately after the incident is “Under Control”.
C. BC Knowitall must forward a report to the Chief of Operations and DC Jones must notify the respective Borough Commander or Command Chief immediately after the incident is “Under Control”.
D. BC Knowitall must forward a report to the Chief of Department and DC Jones must notify the respective Borough Commander or Command Chief immediately after the incident is “Under Control”.
C - Anytime a designated FAST unit is put to work at an operation for other than FAST duties prior to the operation being declared “Under Control”, the Deputy Chief shall notify the respective Borough Commander or Command Chief immediately after the incident is “Under Control”. Additionally, the IC who ordered the FAST unit into operation shall forward a detailed report of such duties via the chain of command to the Chief of Operations. This report shall include the circumstances necessitating the use of the FAST unit and all actions taken by the FAST unit.
- FF Harris, who is not the sharpest tool in the shed, was drilling with the two new probys assigned to his company. FF Harris made the following three points:
Point 1: If the FAST Pak is not with you when you encounter a downed firefighter, await the arrival of the FAST Pak before starting removal procedures.
Point 2: Once an unconscious member is supplied with air, turn the purge valve fully open to allow a constant flow of air.
Point 3: Once clear of the IDLH environment, stop and assess the medical needs of the distressed member. Address situations that are immediately life threatening.
Which points are not correct?
MMID Ch. 3, 7.8, 7.9, 8.1
A. All are incorrect.
B. 1 and 2 are incorrect.
C. 2 and 3 are incorrect.
D. All are correct.
E. 1 and 3 are incorrect.
B - If the FAST Pak is NOT at your location, START the removal procedure. Communicate with the member assigned the FAST Pak to determine a suitable location to meet. - Once an unconscious member is supplied with air, turn the purge valve half way to allow a constant flow of air.
- When a decision has been made to convert a downed member’s SCBA into a harness, it is beneficial to move the firefighter to a sitting position providing we do not suspect any type of spinal injury. Once in a sitting position, rotate the member, if possible, so that their back is facing toward the direction of removal. All of the following are benefits of moving the firefighter to a sitting position except for which one? MMID Add.1, 2.1
A. It will be easier for SOC units to locate the Schrader fitting.
B. It will allow full control over the distressed member. This will help prevent members not assigned to the removal process from moving the distressed member prior to the completion of the packaging.
C. It reduces the member’s size in half, which will be beneficial in tight locations.
D. Allows easier access to the SCBA low pressure hose, facepiece, and both shoulder and waist straps.
A - It will be easier to locate the Universal Air Connection.
- In order to implement HT channel 16 for a FAST Group, a communication plan must be established. This plan will allow communications to continue on the fireground without hampering fire operations and firefighter rescue operations. From the choices below please indicate which members were not on the correct channels during a FAST Group operation. MMID Ch. 5, Add. 1
A. FF Removal Officer (Rescue Battalion Chief) on Channel 16. - FF Removal Officer’s Aide on Channel 1.
B. FF Locator Officer (Battalion Chief) on Channel 16. - FF Locator’s Officer’s Aide on Channel 1.
C. FAST Unit on Channel 16. - FF assigned the FAST Radio on Channel 1.
D. FAST Group Supervisor on Channel 2. - FAST Group Supervisor’s Aide on Channel 16.
D - FAST Group Supervisor on Ch-16.
FAST Group Supervisor’s Aide on Ch-1
- BC Question - All hands with an extra Engine and Truck are working at a fire in a 1 story 100’ x 50’ taxpayer. BC Knowitall is in command and the all hands Chief, BC Wiggum, is commanding operations inside the taxpayer. The Deputy is still enroute and has not yet arrived on the scene. Things seem to be progressing well when all of a sudden the Can Firefighter from the 1st due Truck transmits a mayday and says that the drop ceiling collapsed and that he is trapped. BC Knowitall immediately deploys the FAST Unit to assist the trapped firefighter. The trapped firefighter tells BC Knowitall that he has ¾ of a tank of air and that he is about 15’ from the front door. The 1st due Engine also calls command and tells BC Knowitall that they have water on the fire and should have the fire knocked down shortly. Rescue 7, the FAST Unit, and BC Wiggum are at the location of the trapped firefighter and are in the process of removing him. The trapped firefighter has a laceration on his forehead from where the helmet dug into it when the ceiling fell, other than that he is not injured. BC Wiggum calls BC Knowitall and tells him that they should have the firefighter removed in about 3 minutes. BC Wiggum then asks BC Knowitall “Did you transmit a 10-66?” BC Knowitall would be correct to answer BC Wiggum how? MMID Ch. 5,1.2
A. “I did not transmit a 10-66 because I don’t think it’s necessary in this situation”.
B. “Yes I transmitted a 10-66 since the firefighter is trapped and this signal must be transmitted when a member is trapped”.
A - Note: The signal 10-66 need not be transmitted when the IC determines a situation
involving a lost, missing, trapped or seriously injured member does not require additional
resources and can be mitigated using the units on scene.
- During a recent day tour Lt. Levine, L100, and his members were listening to the radio and monitoring operations at a fire in a 2 ½ story private dwelling when they hear the IC transmit a 10-66 for a member who is lost. The dispatcher notifies the IC that the full 2nd alarm has been transmitted and the additional units on the 10-66 have also been dispatched. With that transmission L100 gets a ticket to respond and is assigned as the 2nd due truck on the second alarm. Which unit(s) listed below should report to and remain at the staging area until ordered to the scene? (More than one correct). MMID Ch. 5, 3.3
A. L100, 2nd due truck on the 2nd alarm.
B. L101, the additional FAST Unit.
C. E99, the CFR-D Engine.
D. E98, the 1st due Engine on the 2nd alarm.
E. Rescue 7, the Rescue Co. that is part of the Rescue Task Force.
A & D - On transmission of the next higher alarm, which is part of signal 10-66, all units other
than Rescue, Squad, SOC Support Ladder, FAST Unit, and CFR Engine, shall be directed
by the dispatcher to report to and remain at a Staging Area until ordered to the scene
(under the supervision of a Staging Area Manager).
All units assigned on the 10-66 shall report to the Staging Area except
Real Silly Suckers Face Castration
- Rescue
- Squad
- SOC Support Ladder
- FAST Unit
- CFR Engine
- When a member(s) who were the subject of a 10-66 are located and removed to a safe area we must follow certain procedures regarding the mayday and the 10-66 signal. Which choice below is correct? MMID Ch. 5, 4.3, 4.4
A. When the distressed member is removed the Mayday should be cancelled and the 10-66 signal resolved.
B. When the distressed member is in a safe area and adequate resources are on the scene to treat and remove the member, the Mayday should be cancelled and the 10-66 signal resolved.
C. When the distressed member is removed the Mayday should be resolved and the 10-66 signal cancelled.
D. When the distressed member is in a safe area and adequate resources are on the scene to treat and remove the member, the Mayday should be resolved and the 10-66 signal cancelled.
D - The Mayday
shall not be considered resolved until such time the member(s) has been moved to a safe
area.
