Question 26:
Of the following choices, which is not in accordance with Fire Department procedures for the Iroquois Pipeline?
A: Isolation of the pipeline is vital in controlling the gas leak. Isolation duties are typically carried out by remotely shutting down valves from the Iroquois Gas Control Center.
B: The initial actions of units responding to pipeline boxes are to set up a perimeter and eliminate sources of ignition.
C: Due to the extremely high pressure found in this pipeline system, consideration shall be given to utilizing fog lines to assist in the dispersal of natural gas.
D: Except in the event of immediate threat to life or property, no valves should be opened or closed without the approval of the FDNY IC in consultation with Con Edison/Iroquois personnel
Explanation:
Natural gas is lighter than air and will naturally disperse into the atmosphere. Due to the extremely high pressure found in this pipeline system, consideration shall be given to allow escaping gas to naturally disperse into the atmosphere without the use of fog lines to assist in dispersal. The use of fog lines may actually hinder the dissipation of the gas.

Question 23:
When units are called to the scene of an airborne
irritant incident (such as pepper spray, mace or a mace-like substance) all choices below should be adhered to except?\

In this type of situation, the decision to shelter in place would be more appropriate.
D: Controlled ventilation (mechanical or natural) of the affected areas by Fire Department personnel will facilitate rapid dissipation of the vapor cloud. Avoid moving the product to occupied areas
Explanation:
Full firefighting gear and SCBA will be used at all times as a minimum of protection against exposure. Transmit the initial 10-80 signal to alert incoming units to proceed with caution to avoid entering a contaminated area.
