Question 2:
Truck operations at H-type fires may vary considerably from operations at other nonfireproof multiple dwelling fires. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?

A: Aerial ladders, if first to arrive at an H-type fire, should not be positioned so as to block off the front entrance courtyard unless rescue operations must be performed.

B: If the fire is showing out windows in the throat, courtyard and front windows of an H-type, and a tower ladder stream is being used, it should be directed at the windows in the front of the building first, and then advanced toward the throat.

C: For fire in an H-type, an additional engine company and ladder company (beyond a full 1st alarm assignment) should be called for a medium fire condition. That is, when it is anticipated that two lines will be required.

D: If two floors of an H-type are involved in fire, or if there is an extensive cockloft fire, it will generally be necessary to transmit a 2nd alarm.

A

Answer: B

Explanation:
B) If fire is showing out windows in the throat, courtyard and front windows of an H-type, and a tower ladder stream is being used, it should be directed at the windows in the THROAT FIRST. The stream should then be advanced toward the FRONT of the building and finally operated into the FRONT WINDOWS.
A Note: When possible, this position should be taken by a tower ladder.

Question 6:
Two members discussing “stack effect” at high rise office building fires disagreed on which incorrect point made during the conversation?

A: Natural vertical ventilation (ventilation without the use of fans), is an option. This will increase the stack effect and assist in the removal of smoke via the stairway.

B: Natural vertical ventilation is influenced by the stack effect as its effect increases as the building’s height increases.

C: Positive stack effect increases as the outside air temperature decreases in relation to the temperature inside the building and negative stack effect may occur when the outside temperature is greater than the temperature inside the building.

D: To obtain the greatest benefit from the stack effect, the doors at the bottom of the stairway must be closed when a stairway is used for smoke removal.

A

Answer: D

Explanation:
D) To obtain the greatest benefit from the stack effect, the doors at the top AND bottom of the stairway must be OPENED when a stairway is used for smoke removal. The street floor near this stairway must also be vented to the outer air.
A Note: This is accomplished by opening the doors at the top and bottom of the stairway ONCE THE FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED.
