Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding collapse considerations at fires in places of worship?
A: Both older and newer architecture places of worship are susceptible to early collapse.
B: The steeple is the tapered, pointed structure, usually with a Crucifix or other religious artifact at its tip. A dome above a tower is more unstable than a steeple above a bell tower.
C: When the roof fails, it can push the sidewalls out into the street. Conversely, when the sidewalls are weakened by fire and fail, the roof will collapse and fall, along with the ceiling, into the nave or floor area.
D: When evaluating the collapse potential and establishing collapse zones, the exposure 2 and 4 sides due to the bearing walls and the exposure side of the steeple or bell tower (front of the building) are the most dangerous areas during a fire.
B
The steeple is the tapered, pointed structure, usually with a Crucifix or other religious artifact at its tip. A STEEPLE atop a bell tower is MORE UNSTABLE than a DOME above a tower.

B: When other to arrive at the first alarm, the 10’ small connection, the 10’ hard connection, or 35’ soft connection shall be used.
C: When in-line pumping operations are implemented, 3½ hose shall be the initial supply line. 3½ or 2½ hose can be used for augmenting water supply when necessary.
D: When drafting operations are indicated, the 10’ small connection or hard connection must be used.

There are times when members may have to utilize their PSS to rapidly exit a room on fire. Of the following choices, which contains incorrect information regarding this evolution?
A: The PSS should only be used after all other means of self rescue have been exhausted.
B: When a member has decided to deploy the Personal Safety System, a Mayday transmission for a “trapped member” must be transmitted.
C: When a point of safety is reached after using your Personal Safety System, the Incident Commander must be notified.
D: Anchoring the hook into the corner of a window is the preferred method of securing the PSS, rather than tying off to a substantial object.
D
If conditions permit, tying off to a substantial object is the preferred method of anchoring the personal safety system.
B Note: In addition to all other required information relayed for a trapped member, include that you are in the process of deploying the Personal Safety System.

Which of the following is CORRECT regarding power removal during a natural gas emergency?
A: In most cases, power cannot be removed from the potential blast zone without introducing the risk of ignition.
B: If members can remove power from the area of the leak before natural gas readings reach greater than 80% LEL, it should be done.
C: If any readings display levels greater than 80% LEL, the opportunity to cut power has expired.
