A) Primary Search, Under Control, Secondary Search, Loss Stopped
In Book 2, Chapter 2, Building Construction, page 12 “Flame Spread Rating” it states that; “Interior finish relates to fire in four ways”: .
A) It affects the rate of fire buildup to a Backdraft conditions
B) It affects the rate of fire buildup to a flashover conditions
C) It affects the rate of fire development to a flashover condition, it contributes to fire extension by flame spread over its surface, it adds to the intensity of a fire by contributing additional fuel, and it produces smoke and toxic gases that can contribute to life hazard and property damage.
D) It affects the rate of fire buildup to a flashover condition, it contributes to fire and flame spread over its surface, it adds to the intensity of a fire, and contributes to life hazards.
C) It affects the rate of fire development to a flashover condition, it contributes to fire extension by flame spread over its surface, it adds to the intensity of a fire by contributing additional fuel, and it produces smoke and toxic gases that can contribute to life hazard and property damage.
Book 2, Chapter 2, Building Construction, page 37 “Wood Construction” states that, “The vertical combustible spaces between studs in balloon frame construction provide a _______________________________.”
A) Space for ventilation of hot gases to travel to other area of the structure.
B) Channel for the rapid communication of fire from floor to floor.
C) Channel for the deployment of extinguishment from one area of the structure to another.
D) None of the above.
B) Channel for the rapid communication of fire from floor to floor.
Book 2, Chapter 2, Building Construction, page 41 “Concrete” states “the problems of the fire department with concrete construction can be divided into three distinct subjects’
A) Collapse during firefighting operations, fire during construction, and fire when not occupied.
B) Collapse during construction with no fire, fire when under construction, fire in completed occupied buildings.
C) Pre-tensioning and post-tensioning increasing the danger of additional stresses, reinforcing rods increasing injury hazards, and precast concrete having hollow spaces that provide channels for fire spread.
D) Concrete is non-combustible but can be destroyed by fire, fire can compromise its strength if under excessive load, and it can protect the tensile strength of steel for a limited duration.
B) Collapse during construction with no fire, fire when under construction, fire in completed occupied buildings.
In Book 2, Chapter 3, High Rise Construction, “the vertical travel of smoke and fire gases is aided by various openings, such as stairways, duct work and shaft ways that pierce floors.” It may also occur;
A) Through laundry chutes, escalator shafts, suspended ceilings, and attics.
B) Through laundry and trash chutes, elevator shafts, dumbwaiter shafts, and mail chutes.
C) Through elevator shafts, attic openings, sewer lines, and confined spaces
D) Through trash chutes, adjacent attics, dumbwaiter shafts, and confined spaces.
B) Through laundry and trash chutes, elevator shafts, dumbwaiter shafts, and mail chutes.
