Question 21:
Of the following choices, which contains incorrect information on the cutting of a peaked roof with a power saw from the Tower Ladder bucket?
A: Position the bucket on the roof as close to the ridge pole as possible and check the stability of the roof with a tool.
B: The saw operator shall wear the installed safety belt, or a Life Saving Rope (LSR) tied to a substantial part of the bucket (one of the bucket posts or the waterway) using a bowline with a loop large enough to reach the edge of the bucket platform.
C: Start the saw outside the bucket. The saw shall be kept outside the bucket until the cut is complete, at which point it is brought inside the bucket and shut off.
D: A utility cord, lashed to the bucket or held by the Guide Firefighter, shall be attached to the handle of the saw to prevent it from falling.
Answer: C
Explanation:
C) Start the saw IN the bucket and then hold it outside of the bucket. The saw shall be kept OUTSIDE the bucket UNTIL it is shut off.
B Note: The saw operator then hooks his/her personal harness to the loop in the LSR, and places one foot on the roof and the other in the bucket. The Guide Firefighter, also properly secured in the bucket, takes a firm hold on the operator’s personal harness or life belt.
Note: Make the first cut parallel to the ridge pole. The size of the cut will depend on the reach of the operator. Never overextend; reposition the bucket if a larger opening is necessary. Proceed to remove the cut roofing with 6’ hooks, and push down any ceiling below.
