Question 40:
Firefighters should know how to “read” smoke. This comes with experience, but also with knowledge. Which description of smoke is inaccurate?

A: Dark smoke (black) often indicates fuel-rich conditions, due to restricted air supply (ventilation limited). If air supply is sufficient, there will be a lighter colored smoke and brighter flame but if air supply is restricted, the smoke will be darker.

B: Grey smoke indicates that at least some flaming combustion or smoldering combustion is present. In a building issuing dark smoke from some areas and grey smoke from other areas, usually the areas with dark smoke are remote from the fire.

C: Brown smoke can indicate the early stages of the pyrolysis of timber products. In a wood framed building, the presence of brown smoke may indicate that the structure is involved.

D: Application of water onto a large fire will generate large amounts of steam which can mix with smoke and create condensation that gives the appearance of white smoke. In this situation, the white color can indicate water is on the fire.

Answer 40

Answer: B

Explanation:
B) The further the smoke travels, the more carbon it can lose, resulting in a grey smoke. In a building issuing dark smoke from some areas and grey smoke from other areas, usually the areas with GREY smoke are REMOTE from the fire.

Question 43

Question 43:
Negative Stack Effect (AKA “Reverse Stack Effect”) occurs most often in the summer season and can be particularly difficult to deal with. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?

A: In hot weather, air inside occupied buildings is cooler than the air outside the building due to internal air conditioning systems. As a result, air inside the building will travel downwards via vertical shafts and attempt to exit the building via available openings near the bottom of the building.

B: At the top of the shaft, a negative pressure will be generated, which will have the effect of pulling air into the shaft via available openings near the top of the building.

C: Smoke from an upper floor fire will be drawn toward the vertical shafts within the building and will typically travel downward. It can be pulled back into floors with greater force as you go higher in the building and further above the stack effect neutral pressure zone.

D: In New York City, the difference between the temperatures inside a building compared to the temperature outside the building will be greater during the winter months than it will be during the summer months, so “positive stack effect,” which occurs during the winter, will be more prominent than negative stack effect which occurs during summer.

Answer 43

Answer: C

Explanation:
C) Smoke from an upper floor fire will be drawn toward the vertical shafts within the building and will typically travel downward. It can be pulled back into floors with greater force as you go LOWER in the building and further BELOW the stack effect neutral pressure zone.
Note: Negative Stack Effect (AKA “Reverse Stack Effect”) - A fire on an upper floor will tend to draw air into the windows creating conditions similar to a wind impacted fire. A fire on a lower floor will tend to want to vent out of the windows.

Question 47:
Heat can be transmitted in the fire environment in a number of ways. Which of the following choices is incorrect?

A: With “Conduction” heat may be transmitted from one body to another by direct contact of two objects or by an intervening heat-conducting medium (material).

B: With “Convection” heat may be transmitted by the movement of air or liquid. Fire spread by convection is mostly in an upward direction; however, air currents can carry heat in any direction.

C: Conductive heat transfer can be exponentially increased by wind. This is called “Forced Conduction” and is a critical factor in wind-driven fires.

D: With “Radiation” heat may be transferred through the movement of heat waves. Heat and light waves will cause radiated heat to travel through a space until it reaches an object and radiated heat is one of the major sources of fire spread to exposures.

Answer 47

Answer: C

Explanation:
C) CONVECTIVE heat transfer can be exponentially increased by wind. This is called “FORCED CONVECTION” and is a critical factor in wind-driven fires.

There are four major types of loft buildings that may be found in NYC. Which loft building is incorrectly described below?

A: Older Cast Iron Lofts may have sidewalk vaults (three-wall enclosures under the front sidewalk) which can extend downward to all sub-levels of the building and may extend the full width of the sidewalk. An indicator of a “full” vault is a large piece of granite stone covering the sidewalk to the curb line.

B: For Fireproof Loft Buildings of “Residential Use,” when the standpipe system is used the initial hoselines may have a lead length of 1 3/4” hose. However, when using the standpipe system for large fires in large, uncompartmented areas in any Loft building, a lead length of 2” lightweight hose with a 1” tip should be used.

C: In Mill Lofts, a general rule of thumb for the run of original hardwood finished flooring is from the front to the rear of the building. A firefighter lost on a floor can utilize this knowledge to find a front or rear means of egress.
