Question 23:
During multi-unit drill at a high rise office building in Manhattan, the building manager referenced several fire protection measures. The Officer had to correct him in which incorrect statement made?
A: Automatic closure of fire dampers is usually effected upon operation of an approved fusible link or other approved heat activated device located where they would be readily effected by an abnormal rise in temperature in the duct. Fusible links should have a temperature rating approximately 150º F above the maximum temperature that would normally be encountered with the system in operation or shut down.
B: The 1968 Building Code requires a manual fire pump to supplement the standpipe system in buildings over 300 feet high.
C: The 1938 Building Code requires a manual fire pump to supplement the standpipe system in buildings over 250 high.

C: A quick determination as to whether a structure is balloon frame is to remove a baseboard on an exterior wall and check for the presence of a sole plate. If one is found, treat the building as balloon construction.
D: In platform construction, the exterior wall studs extend only from the floor to the ceiling of each individual floor. They are capped at the ceiling level of each floor with a horizontal 2”x4” called a top plate.
Answer: C
Explanation:
C) A quick determination as to whether a structure is balloon frame is to remove a baseboard on an exterior wall and check for the presence of a sole plate. If NONE is found, treat the building as balloon construction.
B Note: High heat accompanied by heavy smoke with no visible fire is a sign of fire burning in these hidden spaces. Advanced fire in these voids may cause the ceiling to be blown down on members pulling ceilings on the top floor.
D Note: This construction feature acts effectively as a fire stop, and limits or restricts vertical extension via the exterior walls.
