16) In NYC, the requirements for the presence of a standpipe system as described in the NYC Building Code are based on several criteria, primarily the height and area of the structure. Which “class” is incorrectly described below?
(Eng Ch 3 Add 4 4.2 - 4.3.2)

C) Class III - Both 2 ½” and 1 ½” outlets and designed to be used by both the Fire Department and trained, non-Fire Department personnel.
D) In NYC, nearly all standpipe systems are Class III systems. In several older occupancies Class II systems may still exist.
Answer: D xAx
17) Which type of standpipe system is incorrectly described?
(Eng Ch 3 Add 4 4.4.2)
A) Automatic wet systems are capable of providing water under pressure at the standpipe outlets, possibly with the assistance of a fire pump or a gravity tank.
B) Manual wet systems are connected to a small water supply that will maintain water in the system but is not capable of providing necessary operating pressure to the system.
C) Automatic dry systems are usually supplied by a public water main but are maintained with pressurized air in the standpipe piping. When a decrease in air pressure is detected in the system, water will automatically be supplied to the system.
D) Manual dry systems will never be connected to a water supply. These systems will always remain dry until water is supplied by FDNY units via FDC.
Answer: D xCx
3) Two officers discussing proper Fire Department operations at buildings with a cell site corrected which incorrect statement made earlier in the conversation?
(AUC 331 6.1, 6.7, 6.10, 6.15)
A) At an operation, operating units must notify the Incident Commander once they become aware of a cell site.
B) It is necessary to stretch a handline to the roof at lower floor fires. This handline can be used to maintain egress routes and to cool supporting “I” beams.
C) Avoid cutting roof openings too close to installation equipment, coaxial cables or the support system.

12) During company drill, the newly promoted Lieutenant made a number of comments regarding the hazards of substations. In which comment was the officer incorrect?
(AUC 338 Add 2 2.4, 3.1 - 3.3)
A) Transmission and distribution substations typically have two battery rooms, each containing as many as 60 car-type batteries. A warning sign will be posted on the locked door.
B) Treat all transformer incidents as PCB incidents.
C) Dielectric Fluid is a non-PCB insulating oil, used to cool underground transmission lines.
D) Treat capacitor fires as non-PCB incidents.
Answer: D
13) Of the following chemical hazards that may be found in transmission and distribution substations, which is described incorrectly?
(AUC 338 Add 2 3.4, 3.5)
A) The led/acid batteries found in the substation’s battery room contain 5 to 10 gallons of 30% to 40% sulfuric acid, which can vaporize and be deadly if inhaled.
B) Sulfur Hexafluoride Gas (SF6) is a colorless, odorless gas used to insulate and extinguish arcs in electrical equipment, and is slightly lighter than air. It presents no hazard to operating members.
C) Thermal decomposition of SF6 gas produces Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) which has a strong, irritating odor similar to rotten eggs.
D) Thermal decomposition of SF6 gas produces Metal Fluoride powder, a white powder that is extremely corrosive to bare skin. The initial sign of exposure would be reddening of the skin.
Answer: B xAx no idea
21) During company drill on positive pressure ventilation, each member of Ladder 100 participated by making a comment. Which comment was incorrect?
(AUC 349 7.3)
A) FF Blue stated that the pressure delivered to the attack stair would be great enough to allow for up to three stairwell doors to be open and pressurization to remain effective.
B) FF Green stated that keeping as many doors closed as possible is the goal and that members are permitted to move from one area to another as long as they remember to close the stairwell door behind them.
C) FF Red stated that the Ventilation Support Group Supervisor shall instruct Ventilation Group members to survey the attack stairs below the fire floor to verify that doors in the stair enclosure are maintained closed, unless operating hoselines are stretched through the door.
D) FF Orange stated that the Ventilation Support Group Supervisor shall instruct Ventilation Group members to survey the attack stairs above the fire floor to verify that doors in the stair enclosure are maintained closed.
Answer: D xCx

22) If on arrival at a high rise fire there is an extreme smoke condition in the attack or evacuation stairwell, the IC may decide that ventilation of that stairwell should be implemented. In which choice below would this procedure be incorrect?
(AUC 349 7.4-7.7)
A) When units are not committed on the fire floor, begin pressurization on the ground floor (or alternate site due to fan noise) with the fire floor stairwell door closed.
B) When units are committed on the fire floor, begin pressurization on the ground floor (or alternate site due to fan noise) with the fire floor stairwell door closed as much as possible, still allowing handline access.
C) The Vent Group Roof, or another designated member, shall open the stair bulkhead door (burp the bulkhead), until smoke clears (approximately 90 seconds), then shut the bulkhead door.
D) It is recommended that a member on the fire floor remain in position at the stairwell door at all times to keep the stairwell door closed as possible in order to maintain pressurization, control smoke movement and convection currents.
