B: Of special concern would be the presence of louvers for ventilation, which are often built into the underside of the eaves (soffit). Fire exposing this area readily communicates to the attic and roof.

C: Members opening knee walls in attic spaces should avoid opening walls near the stairs. Fire venting from these openings could block member egress.

D: Due to the limited means of access to most attics, the ladder company must be prepared to assist the engine company in alternate means of getting water on the fire. This can be achieved by opening up a 2’ section of the ceiling on the floor below.

Answer 28

Answer: D

Explanation:
D) Due to the limited means of access to most attics, the ladder company must be prepared to assist the engine company in alternate means of getting water on the fire. This can be achieved by opening up a 3’ SECTION of the ceiling on the floor below.
D Note: The engine company could then operate from a small extension ladder to sweep the attic space with the hoseline. If wood is encountered when making the initial opening, you may have encountered an attic catwalk. Shifting about THREE FEET to one side and making another opening may avoid this type of obstruction. The bent tip and/or cockloft nozzle may also be used effectively in this situation.

A: After sufficient hose has been stretched and the ECC does not require their assistance, the control firefighter should assist in flaking out hose between the apparatus and the building entrance door, in addition to feeding slack toward firefighters ahead on the line.

B: The control firefighter should minimize the number of turns made by the hoseline outside the building.

C: Hose should ideally be stretched and flaked out in the middle of the street.

D: If the hoseline needs to cross the street, cross over as close to the fire building as possible, while remaining mindful of ladder company positioning.

Answer 39

Answer: C

Explanation:
C) Hose should NOT be stretched or flaked out in the middle of the street. If apparatus positioning or the presence of cars makes stretching in the street difficult, bring the hoseline onto the sidewalk close to the apparatus and stretch by way of the sidewalk.
Note: Leave room for the hoseline to move around any obstructions or pinch points, such as parked cars, trees, fences, or doorways. Be especially mindful of car tires, which can easily snag the hoseline.
