Explanation:
COMMUNICATIONS MANUAL – CHAPTER 6 – ALARM RESPONSE
A IS INCORRECT – In the event the unit is responding to another alarm, and it is evident human life is NOT in jeopardy at the scene of the verbal alarm, the unit shall proceed to the original alarm after transmitting radio notification of a verbal alarm to dispatcher and receiving acknowledgement. 6.5.2
B – Until the unit stops to assess, it is unknown whether human life is in jeopardy.
C – Until the unit stops to assess, it is unknown whether human life is in jeopardy.

Question 4:
Which description of the SCBA Pak-alert alarm system is incorrect?
A: The full alarm condition can only be cleared by manually pressing the reset button twice, located on the side of the control console.
B: The pre-alarm condition can be reset by pressing and holding the reset button until 3 quick audible chirps are heard and the red flashing light on the control console is replaced by a green flashing light or by shaking the control console.
C: If the sensor module does not sense motion of the SCBA for 20 seconds, the Pak-alert will signal a pre-alarm condition. If there is still no motion for the next 12 seconds, the full alarm will sound.
D: Provided working batteries are in the Pak-alert, the manual alarm may be activated by pressing the manual alarm button at any time, even when the SCBA is not pressurized.
Answer: B
Explanation:
B. The pre-alarm condition can be reset by pressing and holding the reset button until 3 quick audible chirps are heard and the red flashing light on the control console is replaced by a green flashing light. SHAKING THE CONTROL CONSOLE WILL NOT RESET THE PAK-ALERT.
THE MOTION SENSOR IS IN THE SENSOR MODULE UNDER THE AIR CYLINDER VALVE AND NOT IN THE CONTROL CONSOLE, SO THAT ACTUAL MOVEMENT OF THE SCBA BACKFRAME IS REQUIRED FOR RESET.

Question 5:
Which statement below contains incorrect information regarding fire operations in vacant buildings?
A: When a vacant building is heavily involved on arrival, hose streams should be placed between the involved building and the most severe life exposure.
B: When life is not endangered in any exposure, the first stream should immediately be positioned for interior operations in the vacant building.
C: When possible, units should take a position that not only protects exposures, but also enables the stream to be used on the main body of fire. In cases when it is impossible to confine the fire in this manner, the stream should be alternated from the fire to the exposure.
D: At large or advanced fires, the primary attack strategy should consist of a defensive exterior attack and should focus on the protection of exposures.
Answer: B
Explanation:
B) When life is not endangered in any exposure, the first stream should be positioned to protect the GREATEST AMOUNT OF PROPERTY.
D Note: The IC may vary from this guideline in critical situations involving life hazards.
