Question 8:
“Ventilation for Extinguishment” in a nonfireproof multiple dwelling (tenement) facilitates the Engine Company’s extinguishment of the fire. However, this tactic requires strict timing and coordination. Of the following choices, which is not in accordance with Department policy?
A: This tactic must coincide with the application of water on the seat of the fire. Once a building is horizontally ventilated the time for effective extinguishment is limited since the fire will rapidly expand.
B: The member on the exterior may be in position prior to the hoseline placement and must coordinate their actions to prevent premature ventilation.
C: The member on the exterior waiting to perform horizontal ventilation for extinguishment of the immediate fire area shall listen for transmissions from the Engine Company Officer to the Engine Chauffeur to start water or to the Incident Commander that they are applying water on the fire. These transmissions are an indication to the exterior member to prepare to conduct ventilation for extinguishment.
D: Before venting the window(s) the member must communicate with and receive approval from the Engine Company Officer. The approval to perform this horizontal ventilation for extinguishment tactic only applies to the window(s) in the immediate area and only for the member venting the immediate fire area.
Answer: D
Explanation:
D) Before venting the window(s) the member must communicate with and receive approval from the LADDER Company Officer. The approval to perform this horizontal ventilation for extinguishment tactic only applies to the window(s) in the immediate area and only for the member venting the immediate fire area.
D Note: Any additional horizontal ventilation tactics must be communicated with and coordinated by the Ladder Company Officer in the area prior to performing such ventilation. This communication and coordination with interior operations will lessen the likelihood of any negative impact on interior fire conditions.
A Note: This ventilation tactic entails venting the window(s) of the immediate fire area as the Engine Company is extinguishing the fire.
B Note: Premature ventilation can precipitate fire extension, endangering occupants and firefighters. To properly coordinate ventilation for extinguishment between the interior and exterior operating force, all members must monitor handie-talkie transmissions to ensure proper communications prior to performing ventilation.

Question 20:
There are a number of considerations that members should take into account when removing a victim from a fire building using an aerial ladder. Which is not entirely correct?
A: The OV (tiller firefighter on a tiller apparatus) sets chocks and stabilizers. An alternative method, when staffing is available, is to have one member assigned to the inboard stabilizer and chocks while the OV takes care of the outboard side.
B: The OV must observe the building continuously while the chauffeur is operating the ladder. At night, use the apparatus spotlight to pinpoint and reassure the victim.
C: Climbing the ladder while it is being extended or retracted is prohibited.
D: The Chauffeur ascends the ladder followed by the OV, climbs in window, assists victim out feet first to the OV, closes the door to the fire area, and then searches the area.
Answer: D
Explanation:
D) Climbing the ladder while it is being extended or retracted is prohibited. The OV ascends the ladder followed by the CHAUFFEUR, climbs in window, assists victim out feet first to the CHAUFFEUR, closes the door to the fire area, and then searches the area.
Note: The OV ascending first will keep chauffeur closer to the controls.
A Note: This would enable the OV to observe the building and be in a better position to ascend.
Hint: O-O; OV = Outboard side
B Note. Prepare for a rapid ascent as the trapped people may attempt to climb onto the ladder without assistance. Be aware that someone may appear at another window or the trapped person may move to another location.
C Note: Only in an extreme emergency such as serious exposure to flame or high heat will the “movement” of the ladder with the firefighter and the victim on it be justified.

Question 24:
During fire extinguishment operations, it is possible that members may encounter a failure of the Engine apparatus pump. When this occurs, each of the following actions should be taken with the exception of which choice?
A: If the problem is first noticed by the ECC, they should transmit an URGENT handie-talkie message for a water loss.
B: A signal 10-70 should immediately be transmitted.
C: The engine officer should withdraw the nozzle team to an area of safety and members in the street should provide whatever assistance necessary to solve the problem.
D: If the problem with the apparatus cannot be quickly solved, water supply can be restored to the hoseline by stretching a 2 ½” hose from a nearby apparatus connected to a hydrant, to the 1st due pumper, disconnecting the hose from the 1st due apparatus and connecting it to the new 2 1/2” line.
Answer: B
Explanation:
B) Since the problem is with the apparatus and not the water source, a signal 10-70 should NOT be transmitted. When a 10-70 is transmitted, resources are focused on securing a water source for the 1st due apparatus. In this case, the apparatus itself is not operational, so an URGENT transmission for water loss is more effective.
A Note: If the issue is first noticed at the nozzle, the engine officer would experience a loss of water and pressure in the line. An URGENT handie-talkie message should be given indicating the problem.
D Note: The hoseline can now be supplied by the new pumper. An alternative solution may be to supply water from a 2nd apparatus to the apparatus with the failed pump. The pumping operation can then be controlled from the 2nd pumper, with the original apparatus essentially functioning as a large manifold. In this scenario, the pressure supply to the original apparatus will be limited to 150 psi, as the relief valve will dispel any additional pressure.

B: The LCC raised the aerial for roof access by the roof firefighter.
C: After the roof firefighter has reached the roof, the LCC repositioned the aerial for VEIS of the fire apartment when teamed up with the 2nd chauffeur (or another available member).
D: After VEIS of the fire apartment was complete, the the LCC and another member completed VEIS of the adjoining apartment and floors above.
Answer: C
Explanation:
C) Repositioned the aerial for VEIS of the fire apartment IF fire is on the 3rd floor or above when teamed up with the 2nd chauffeur (or another available member). When fire is on the 1st OR 2nd FLOOR, VEIS the fire apartment from the exterior using PORTABLE LADDERS.
