Question 3:
Of the following hydrant connections, which provides the largest water flow?

A: 10-foot soft suction

B: 10-foot semi-rigid suction

C: 35-foot soft connection

D: 3 ½” hose

A

Answer: C

Explanation:
10-foot soft suction – can be bent but will straighten when charged with water and is very difficult to kink. At 10 feet long, it is the shortest hydrant connection and requires accurate positioning close to the hydrant.
10-foot semi-rigid suction – can be bent and will straighten when charged.
35-foot soft connection – 35 feet long. It provides the largest flow of any hydrant connection, but has the potential to kink, so it needs to be properly flaked out.
3 ½” hose – no limit on the number of lengths that can be used. Allows for the greatest flexibility, but provides the least water flow.

Question 32:
Fires in private dwellings constructed of lightweight materials require very specific tactics. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?

A: When fire is located in the cellar or first floor, and conditions prevent visual identification of the type of construction, an examination could be made in a similar attached exposure.

B: Only under extreme circumstances should the roof of a peaked or flat roof building of lightweight construction be cut with the power saw.

C: When fire is on the top floor and there is clear indication that the fire has not entered the cockloft, roof operations shall be limited to venting the top floor windows and skylights if present, inspecting HVAC duct vents for unusual heat and checking the rear and sides of the building.

D: When fire is on the top floor and there are indications that it has extended to the attic/cockloft, the IC shall be immediately notified, and members shall not be permitted to operate on the roof.

A

Answer: B

Explanation:
B) Under NO circumstances shall the roof be cut in any peaked or flat roof building of lightweight construction.
Cutting the roof and pushing down the ceiling could expose the cockloft area to additional heat and fire from the top floor. In addition, a saw cut could sever a structural member causing the failure of one or more trusses/joists.
A Note: This inspection shall be assigned by the IC to an available unit.
C Note: All members shall be removed from the roof upon completion of these duties.

Question 36:
Engine companies should proceed with caution when fighting fires in vacant buildings. Which of the following choices is incorrect?

A: Engine Companies may be ordered to stretch hose lines to exposures in order to operate exterior hose streams. Hoselines used from this defensive position shall be 2 ½”.

B: Members should stretch hose lines consistent with Department policies for each building type (e.g., stretch a 1 ¾” hose line for a fire in a vacant rowframe building).

C: Engine Companies shall be alert to the need for a 3 ½” hose line to supply a Tower Ladder when consistent with operational needs. Whenever possible, a separate Engine shall be dedicated to the sole task of supplying water to a Tower Ladder in order to ensure proper water delivery.

D: Hose lines may be advanced within the fire building after a fire has been largely extinguished from the exterior and exterior streams have been shut down. Before committing members, however, the interior of the building should be surveyed by a Chief or Company Officer in order to assess its structural stability.

A

Answer: D

Explanation:
D) Hose lines may be advanced within the fire building after a fire has been largely extinguished from the exterior and exterior streams have been shut down. Before committing members, however, the interior of the building SHALL be surveyed by a CHIEF Officer in order to assess its structural stability.
A Note: When using an exterior hose line from a purely defensive position (i.e., when a unit does not expect to advance a hose line within the structure), members should stretch a 2 ½” hoseline.

Question 37:
Upon arrival to an aircraft incident you are ordered to perform search and rescue in the “A” Sector area of the aircraft. You would expect the “A” Sector to be located where in reference to the aircraft?

A: From the pilots point of view the “A” sector is on the left side of the cockpit

B: From the pilots point of view the “A” sector is on the right side of the cockpit

C: From the pilots point of view the “A” sector is on the left side of the cockpit in the rear behind the wing

D: From the pilots point of view the “A” sector is on the right side of the cockpit in the rear behind the wing

A

Answer: A

Explanation:
This is a tough question.
From the pilots point of view the “A” sector is on the left side of the cockpit, adjacent to where the pilot sits for fixed winged aircraft. The remaining sectors are then assigned clockwise starting from the “A” sector.
Doors are numbered 1,2,3 starting with the door closet to the cockpit as door number 1

Question 38:
For fire on the 29th floor of a high rise fireproof multiple dwelling (HRFPMD), what would be the most accurate pressure for the ECC to supply the standpipe with?

A: 235 psi

B: 240 psi

C: 245 psi

D: 250 psi

A

Answer: C

Explanation:
At a HRFPMD, the ECC should generally supply the standpipe system with a pressure of 105 psi, plus an additional 5 psi per floor of elevation. This is measured to the floor on which the hoseline will be operating. For example, if fire is on the 26th floor of a HRFPMD, the ECC should supply 230 psi to the standpipe system (105 psi-baseline + 125 psi for 25 floors of elevation).

Question 40:
Laddering a Brownstone with portable ladders presents specific challenges to operating members. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?

A: Placing a portable ladder at the window of the small room over the front entrance door will be difficult because of the long, high stoop, which may interfere with firefighting operations. Consider placing the ladder at the adjoining window to gain entrance to this small room.

B: There may be 2 doors to the small room over the front entrance door; one from the interior hall and one from a larger adjoining bedroom. If there is no door leading into the small room from the large bedroom and hallway fire conditions prevent normal entry into the small room, access may be gained by breaking through the lath and plaster partition between the two rooms.

C: Some Brownstones have small, elevated or depressed courts in the front of the building, adjacent to the stoop. They generally have a small wall or iron railing around them, creating additional obstacles.

D: In most cases, taking the ladder through the second floor (parlor floor) of an adjoining brownstone and passing it out the rear window to another member in the yard below is faster than using the fire building. It is important to take the ladder through with the tip facing the rear of the building.

A

Answer: D

Explanation:
D) In most cases, taking the ladder through the second floor (parlor floor) of an adjoining brownstone and passing it out the rear window to another member in the yard below is faster than using the fire building. It is important to take the ladder through with the BUTT facing the rear of the building.
Note: In a row frame, transporting a ladder through the interior of the building to the rear is generally less complicated because there are front and rear doors or window entries at ground level.
