C: FD Designation, Occupancy, Description of Building, Minresp, Description of Dangerous, Hazardous, or Unusual Condition.
D: Occupancy, FD Designation, Description of Building, Description of Dangerous, Hazardous, or Unusual Condition, Minresp.
Answer: B
Explanation:
COMMUNICATIONS MANUAL – CHAPTER 4 – CIDS
B IS CORRECT – The ECIDS application will assist in placing the information in the CORRECT order, however, this has been a question used on multiple exams in different forms. FD DESIGNATION, OCCUPANCY, DESCRIPTION OF BUILDING (Height, Dimension, Class in that order), DESCRIPTION OF HAZARD, MINRESP is the only order. 4.5.3B
Question 6:
Which natural gas tool is used to determine the amount of gas present in an area? How does it display the levels of gas?
A: The natural gas detector; % of gas in air
B: The natural gas detector; % of LEL
C: The CO meter; % of gas in air
D: The natural gas meter; % of LEL
Answer: D
Explanation:
THE METER SHOWS THE % OF THE LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL). THE EXPLOSIVE RANGE OF GAS IS 5%-15%. THEREFORE, THE LEL IS 5%.
FOR EXAMPLE, 5% GAS IN AIR WOULD BE 100% OF THE LEL ON THE GAS METER. 2.5% GAS IN AIR WOULD BE 50% OF THE LEL ON THE GAS METER AND SO ON…
Natural Gas 6.4
Question 7:
Your unit is the first arriving aerial ladder at a serious fire in an isolated building where roof access and egress via conventionally positioned aerial ladders is endangered by the serious fire condition. Which choice below would be an incorrect action in this scenario?
A: Consider placing the aerial ladder at a safe angle to the least exposed sidewall of the building.
B: Placing the apparatus on the sidewalk is permitted to obtain the necessary position.
C: Under no circumstances should the aerial ladder be placed in the cantilever position.
D: Members should ascend or descend at well spaced intervals.
Answer: C
Explanation:
C) Initially place the aerial ladder in the cantilever position with the tip fairly close to the building.
C Note: Do this so that when placed under load it will either not touch or barely touch the wall. This should eliminate any twisting stress.

D: Initiate the search of the floor above the fire floor.
Answer: D
Explanation:
D) COORDINATE the search operation of FIRE FLOOR with first arriving ladder company.

Question 19:
There are instances at a structural fire when the engine officer may decide to open up the hoseline on smoke. Which choice below is incorrect?
A: If there is a “smoke condition with high heat”, the nozzle should be opened on the smoke and operated as necessary to cool the area and then advance toward the fire.
B: If “turbulent smoke” is encountered at the entry point the nozzle should be opened and operated at this location until it is able to advance.
C: When an area is heavily involved in fire, the area adjacent to the fire room may also be at extreme temperatures. In this case, the officer should order the nozzle opened as the team approaches the area. This will cool the area and allow the nozzle team to make entry for extinguishment.
D: When opening the nozzle on smoke, the officer shall have the nozzle opened for constant flow during the advance. The nozzle shall never be operated intermittently.
Answer: D
Explanation:
D) When opening the nozzle on smoke, the officer MAY EITHER order the nozzle opened intermittently OR have the nozzle opened for constant flow during the advance.
Note: Smoke is to be considered fuel and flowing water on the approach to the fire can cool the area, preventing flashover and rapid fire development. The overhead temperatures within the smoke layer are often unknown and “conditioning the area” with the hoseline may be beneficial.
A & B Note: In the absence of high heat and turbulence in the smoke, conditions may be such that advancing the charged line in the smoke condition without opening the nozzle would be more effective. In this case, the line can be advanced with the nozzle closed until the fire can be hit directly with the stream.

D: Consider stretching a handline to the roof at upper floor fires. This handline can be used to maintain egress routes and to cool supporting “I” beams
Answer: D
Explanation:
A- Special call and extra engine and ladder if the cell site installation is involved m(ensure TL on initial response)
B- Portable Dry Chemical extinguishers
C- Avoid cutting roof openings too close to installation equipment, coaxial cables, or support system
