Question 10:
Lt Powers and Lt Lynam were discussing various conditions that may be encountered at a fire scene and had to correct which incorrect comment made by a third member?
A: A smoke explosion can occur without warning but will only occur when there is a sudden change in ventilation.
B: A smoke explosion occurs when a smoke-air mixture falls within its flammable range, either internal or external to the fire compartment, and is ignited in a manner resulting in a significant pressure front.
C: Backdrafts are caused when there is an introduction of oxygen to a compartment that has been pressurized by the smoke and fire gases of an oxygen-deficient fire in the Decay Stage.
D: Flash fires involve a flame moving though a flammable mixture with considerable speed, without developing a significant over-pressure. Flash fires usually self-extinguish, although sometimes may ignite secondary fires.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A) A smoke explosion can occur without warning and occurs WITHOUT a sudden change in ventilation.
C Note: Similar to smoke explosions, backdrafts are accompanied by a significant overpressure.

Question 18:
During company drill, the senior member had to correct the probationary firefighter when he made which incorrect comment regarding fire extension in nonfireproof tenements?
A: When checking for extension, there are six sides to examine in the fire area: the four walls, the ceiling above, and the floor.
B: The search for fire extension is often done by sense of touch alone. All places where fire might have extended and display no immediate signs of burning such as discoloration, blistering, smoke, etc. should be examined by touch.
C: In Old Law Tenements, the floor beams are laid parallel to the front of the building forming horizontal channels for fire travel as far as both side walls of the building. This permits lateral fire spread within the building and possible extension into adjoining buildings via beam ends and/or defective masonry.
D: The partitions that separate apartments in Old Law Tenements have fire stopping between the ceiling of one floor and the under side of the floor above which effectively limits fire extension.
Answer: D
Explanation:
D) The partitions that separate apartments in Old Law Tenements are NOT fire stopped between the ceiling of one floor and the under side of the floor above.
D Note: This may permit lateral extension across the building and could be first discovered by the unit working on the floor above the fire floor when they encounter extension and/or an unusually heavy smoke condition in the apartment which is not directly over the fire apartment.
C Note: An exception exists where these horizontal arteries are interrupted by public hall and stairs which retard lateral extension. Where these horizontal channels terminate at air shafts, they have allowed fire which has burned through flooring to the apartments above to extend via shaft windows to either or both adjoining buildings.

B: If the condition of the members SCBA is in doubt do not provide air via the low pressure system.
C: Use the downed member’s facepiece, unless it is damaged or missing, instead of the facepiece with the FAST Pak.
D: Once an unconscious member is supplied with air, turn the purge valve half way to allow a constant flow of air.
Answer: B
Explanation:
B. If the condition of the members SCBA is in doubt do not provide air via the HIGH pressure system.

Question 24:
There are many factors involved in determining whether a 1 3/4” or 2 1/2” hose stretch would be more appropriate. Of the following choices, which is incorrect?
A: While the officer should use their discretion in assessing the size of the fire area in determining if a 2 1/2” hoseline is required, a general guideline is that a fire area over 50 feet wide can be considered “large”. The area should also be “uncompartmented.”
B: For fires in a commercial portion of a mixed occupancy building (two or three story building with a store on the first floor and one or two apartments above), the use of 2 ½” hose is always necessary.
C: The presence of a commercial occupancy (OLT with a store, etc.) does not mandate the use of a 2 ½” hoseline. The use of 1 ¾” hose may be appropriate, depending on conditions.
D: For fires in a 1- or 2-story taxpayer, the large fire area and large amount of combustible contents will require the use of a 2 ½” hoseline. Also, the high ceilings and availability of a roof vent directly over the fire area constitute an uncompartmented fire area.
Answer: B
Explanation:
B) For fires in a commercial portion of a mixed occupancy building (two or three story building with a store on the first floor and one or two apartments above), the use of 2 ½” hose MAY NOT be necessary.
These commercial occupancies are not a taxpayer, and they generally do not have a large fire area. Such commercial occupancies are commonly less than 50 feet wide, do not have a direct opening to a roof vent, and may have narrow aisle space with limited open area. This situation may not fit the above described criteria of a “large, uncompartmented fire area”. Unless the fire area is sufficiently large, or one of the other described conditions is present, the use of 1 ¾” hose may be appropriate in these occupancies.
