After fire in room has been controlled
A fire escape in the throat in an MD MEANS
2 seprate apts
Stack effect in a high rise MD is influenced by all of the following
1 height of building
2 temp differential between outside and inside temps
3 air leakage to other floors
4 wind
When can the doors to the elevator machinery room at roof level be used for ventilation ?
Not until fire is under control and as long as wind will not force smoke back into building
When both engine company and ladder companies arrive together and HRFPMD and only one elevator mom fireman service is available who should enter this elevator?
Truck officer , FE Team , Engine officer , nozzle and control with all rolled up lengths and standpipe kit
If eng and truck arrive at HRFPMD with only one elevator at same time and this elevator is a fireman service elevator with no outside operations who gets in first
Inside team and OVM eng officer and one member of engine
If first due OVM is involved in outside operations and the fire is above the 7 floor of a HRFPMD WHO controls the fireman service elevator
A member of 2 due truck
Or member designated by IC

floor below the fire floor
If the fire in a HRFPMD IS ON sixth floor where should Fast/cfrd unit stand fast
As determined by IC
When using the in- line pressure gauge at the standpipe outlet to regulate pressure the control FF should keep it what PSI for 3 lengths of hose and what PSI FOR 4 lengths
3 lengths of 2/12 at 70 PSI
4 lengths if 2/12 at 80 PSI
In a HRFPMD when should the bulkhead be vented and upon direction of who
By orders of the IC and fire has been controlled
Who brings the POST radio In a HRFPMD ?
Second due eng officer

If any evidence of fire present
2nd ECC MUST ASSSIT
A 2nd supply line at a HRFPMD FIRE SHALL be stretch to supply Siamese if ?
- More than one line used from standpipe
- There are indications that system is not receiving engough water , volume or pressure(as determined by HT transmission from ECC /IC OR readings on pump panel flow meter
3 no flow on flow meter a valve is closed in system / High flow indicted pipe may be fractured or outlet valves open on riser

When estimating pressure for a standpipe you should start whst PSI And add how much PSI per floor
Start at 100 PSI and add 5 PSI PEF FLOOR
What should be included in the standpipe kit
2/12 controlling nozzle with 1 1/8 main stream tip and 1/2 outer tip Hand control wheels 21/2 to 21/2 In line pressure gauge Pipe wrench Spanner wrenches Door chocks Adapters Extra 21/2 controlling nozzle with 1 1/2 to 2/1/2 increaser
