Question 15:
Top floor fires in old law tenements often times extend to the cockloft. Operating members need to determine if the fire has entered the cockloft as soon as conditions permit and relay this information to the Incident Commander. Which comment below is correct for members to consider when checking the cockloft for fire extension?

A: When fire is burning in a top floor apartment, it is important for members to wait until the fire is “knocked down” before examining the cockloft.

B: An early inspection can be made by going to a room adjacent to the fire (within the fire apartment only) and opening an observation hole in that ceiling.

C: If fire can be seen burning in the cockloft the observation hole should be immediately expanded to define the extent of the fire.

D:✔It is good practice while waiting for a charged hoseline to ventilate all the windows in the apartment, because once the ceiling is opened the floor will quickly become filled with smoke.

Explanation:
A. When fire is burning in a top floor apartment, it is NOT EFFICIENT to wait until the fire is “knocked down” before examining the cockloft.

B. An early inspection can be made by going to a room adjacent to the fire (IN THE SAME OR ADJOINING APARTMENT) and opening an observation hole in that ceiling.
C. If fire can be seen burning in the cockloft the observation hole should NOT BE EXPANDED UNTIL A CHARGED HOSELINE HAS BEEN POSITIONED.

Question 63

Which tactic was carried out correctly for a fire in a Rowframe?

A: After several minutes of searching for a fire in a Brownstone type Rowframe the Ladder officer communicated to the IC that “we found the fire. Its located on the basement level in the rear”

B: At a top floor fire in a Brownstone type rowframe, the 2nd ladder company will operate on all floors below and relieve the 1st ladder company when necessary

C: For a top floor fire in a OLT type rowframe, the 2nd arriving OV FF will assist both Roof FFs to vent roof of fire building and necessary exposures

D:✔When ever the TL basket is used for roof access the saw and LSR will be brought to the roof

Explanation:
Rowframes
A- Same as Brownstones, the word BASEMENT shall not be used in fireground communications. Refer to basement as “first floor”….sec 5.1.2.A.note…..new as of 8/28/2019
B- Top floor fire Brownstone type, the 2nd ladder will split the company and examine exposures 2 and 4 for extension. The inside team should operate in the most severely threatened exposure….p-41
C- Top floor fire, 2nd OV FF will operate from fire escape for VEIS of the top floor with 1st OV FF or another available member……p-45
D- p-46

Question 64

Question 34:
Guidelines were written to aid the engine officer in making the decision between 1 3⁄4” and 2 1⁄2” hoselines. Which guideline is incorrectly written?
A:✔The 235 GPM flowrate provided by the 1 3⁄4” hoseline is sufficient to extinguish the majority of fires encountered.

B: When the 1 3⁄4” hoseline is supplied with 50 psi at the 15/16” tip, the nozzle reaction is 68 lbs. This is the force felt by the nozzle firefighter.

C:✘1 3⁄4” hoseline is the primary attack line in the FDNY.

D: The increased speed and mobility of the 1 3⁄4” hoseline enables the nozzle firefighter to more effectively operate the hoseline and direct the water stream as needed.

Answer 65

Explanation:
Medium and low pressure Distribution Mains are made of steel, plastic, or, if older, cast iron. Cast iron pipe is currently being replaced as it is prone to corrosion and failure, being brittle with low tensile strength.
C) Note: Main valve covers are larger than curb valve/service valve covers to allow servicing and may be round or square.

Question 66

Question 8:
Natural gas is piped to customers along Distribution Mains which may be high, medium or low pressure and Regulator Stations reduce pressure between Distribution Mains of different types. Which choice below contains incorrect information regarding these mains?
A: High pressure Distribution Mains are made of steel and are generally installed below major roads.

B:✔Medium and low pressure Distribution Mains are made of steel or plastic; they will never be made of cast iron as it is prone to corrosion and failure, being brittle with low tensile strength.

C: High and medium pressure Distribution Mains have control valves that are exercised (partially) on a schedule to ensure working order. These valves are generally found near street corners, but may also be located along the street or on the sidewalk.

D: Low pressure (¼ psi) Distribution Mains generally do not have valves and isolating sections of low pressure Distribution Mains requires plugging or “squeezing off” the pipe while still under pressure (live). Only the Utility Company can safely plug or squeeze-off Distribution or Service Mains due to spark hazards.
