Question 7

Of the following choices, which contains incorrect information regarding fires and fire operations in “places of worship?”
A: Both older and newer architecture places of worship are susceptible to early collapse.
B: Fire extension inside walls can quickly spread upwards unimpeded into inaccessible areas of the cockloft, attic or truss loft area above the ceiling of the structure. The destruction of the roof supporting members results in an early increased collapse potential.
C: The first arriving officer should locate and size-up the fire and determine if the fire can be extinguished by a handline. When it is determined that the fire cannot be controlled with handlines, the initial strategy must be an exterior fire attack.
D: Tower Ladders should be placed directly in front of the structure, to ensure an adequate stream available to operate into the Rose Window, if present.

Answer 7

D
Tower Ladders should be placed near the front of the structure, in a “corner safe” area outside of the collapse danger zone.
Subsequent arriving Tower Ladders should be positioned to reach additional sides of the structure.
